Pornocratie introduces a debate where is porn watched in 2017. It departs from a historical recount of how the adult entertainment industry did its crossover from DVD towards digital streaming, and how this crossover it seriously changed the rules behind it. The material gathered, the sources and the comments by the documentary maker and host provide an insiders' perspective and a daring explanation for the porn tubes' phenomena.

Although well produced, it's an attack on the "new" face of the porn business by the old guard that positions themselves in a false light.

I come from a mindset of an ultra liberal. I have no desire (no pun intended) to ban porn. But at the same time the notion of "moral" pornographers is not a reality to me. That's where the viewpoint of this documentary comes from.

Like the mainstream movie business, it's a business many MANY times over. I don't see any creativity in it. Maybe the makers think they are but we'll agree to disagree. There has been big productions (I've never seen) and am not immune to sampling the free content. But I would not put my disposable income towards it.

I have no doubt the evils that this production alleges against "new" porn. None at all. But to frame the old way of porn as having morals and just normal workin' folk is a lie. Porn has always been a sleazy business that uses and abuses women. Takes advantage of their weaknesses and addictions. Promotes ugly stereotypes.

I read a bit about the filmmaker, Ovidie, a French ex-performer and self-professed feminist. She views porn as full of empowered women. We will agree to disagree. Probably some, but not a majority. A small minority.

Do women in porn wield great power over men via their sexuality? Or women in daily life with their sexuality? Yes. I don't really think that's a good thing on its own. If the roles were flipped---and they're not---I'd likely be corrupted by such and have uneven views. Same with any kind of power, I'd imagine. And am not immune to the sexuality of women, although I don't judge the whole person on that.

Do I have an issue with women practicing their sexuality? No.

As an examination of "new" porn, it was quite thorough, informative and interesting. Felt longer than its running time, though (another pun not intended). But avoiding the bad history of its narrators and industry was obvious and disappointing.
