"[...] the problem with a fetishist playing censor for millions of people is that the fetsishist's gaze is a sexualizing one, and so much material which is not inherently smut will look dirty to someone viewing the world through that lens. -- Kathryn Cramer, 2006-03-09 (also a syndicated feed in LJ)

"When correctly viewed, everything is lewd!
I could tell you things about Peter Pan
And the Wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man!"

Tom Lehrer said it first.

*nod* Though I think the point is better made by starting a few lines earlier:

Oh every book's a dirty book,
Though recent books are bolder,
For filth (I'm proud to say)
Is in the mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed,
Everything is lewd!
I could tell you things about Peter Pan,
Or the Wizard of Oz -- there's a dirty old man!

But the QotD is from an outing of a porn-blocker having an interesting kink, followed by the outer's explanation of why she thinks that's at all relevant to anything ... so

supremeherptile's observation below may be even more germane than Tom Lehrer's memorable (and clearly applicable) analysis.

Of course, I'm gonna have the whole song stuck in my head the rest of the day now.
