Given the fact that things like torture and prison rape fantasy have been a part of gay porn since at least those old loincloth-sporting Athletic Model Guild loops from the 50s—and that such violent themes remain the fodder for all kinds of mainstream entertainment from movies to TV shows to videogames, and to relatively little complaint—we think the outcry is a case of some of our more oversensitive homosexualist brethren taking things a bit too seriously. What we’re more concerned about is why more people aren’t complaining about that gawdawful pun of a title. Surely we all deserve something better than that.
