Again, i would make the judgement that 'pornographic' bases its purpose in wanting tot sexually arouse, which i definitely don't want to do at any point in my project. Yes, 99.9% have told me how wrong my script is. But I've also visited the newsgroups of heterosexual abusers and other people labeled as pedophiles, and they say I've done as good a job as I can, considering I have no way to feel the way they feel. I visited this group for a different opinion. Largely, this group wants a story that shows a boylover and the love between a boy and a man. That is not the story i wish to tell. Thanks to the feedback i've gotten from this board, and this board only, I realize now that my character isn't a pedophile, but rather a heterosexual. And I want to show that this supposed 'normal' person can grow up to abuse, and i want to show people and help people understand how that can happen. And most of all i want peopel to feel along with understanding. So how does one do that? How does one like myself, who is telling a story, helps an audience to feel the emotions another person feels? How cna i do that, when *I* don't have the feelings myself? It's so vital to me to get those feelings across. I want people to feel their pain. I want them to pity the man character, because he is pitiful and weak. I want them to feel sorry for him - to understand just how empty he is, and how that emptyness translates to evil action. Sure, there are visual styles that can help, but it's not good enough. I need Pity and Sorrow for the man character. I need Pain for both the abused and abuser. And I want Disgust at the simple nature of the action, and that the entire process is even allowed to exist. Drifter, I've went through 9 years of Catholic school. I'm a former alter boy. I know your thoughts. But this is a very bad subject to keep 'civil'. Keeping a subject that is complete lunacy and sickness 'under control' is in itself lunacy. I always welcome other suggestions, but I know my way will get the feelings of disgust and pain across. I'm still working on the weakness, pity, and emptyness. I need help, and that's why i came here. To discuss solutions with people with a different perspective than I. It's just unfortunate that you choose to judge over and over and refuse to help, except to advise me to leave. Mm |
