Fun fact, they got ~~their prize taken away~~ the display taken down after a week because the organizers ~~were told~~ found out what this is. They got to keep the ribbons though.

[–] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 48 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Poling said the state fair board considered stripping him of his awards, but decided to let him keep his ribbons.

It was only removed after being on display for a week

When asked why Poling's miniature was removed, a state fair spokesperson said "entries submitted to the fair routinely reviewed throughout the event."

Im still not sure why it was removed. Im not sure what the event was even for, but it looks like a showcasing of art projects? In which case, why remove it? It has connections to profane work, but is not of itself profane. Does having connections to profane works devalue the attatched piece? Does the piece not stand on its own merits?

Lemme tell you about the donkey jizz sluts in the bible

Ezekiel 23:20

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

Iirc this is some parable/prophecy about Israel not following god's law or something. So slut shaming a whole nation.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's not donkey jizz, just liking hung dudes. Which I think is understandable.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

dudes hung like donkeys and who jizz like horses.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Because it isn’t about art if they feel they can censor things.

Have you ever talked to a Republican? They’re not reasonable people.

[–] III@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

To be fair to Republicans - they are staunchly against porn, refuse to partake in viewing and stand against it's availability. And given that, had any Republican been in charge of this competition, they would have immediately recognized the subject and disqualified the miniaturist the moment it was submitted.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Did you see the couch stain? I don't think that necessarily makes it bad enough to take down, but it's subtle so you have missed it and it's the part that is the most "objectionable" for lack of a better word.

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lots of leather couches have weird markings. It is literally skin torn off the animal.

Thank you for the correction!

Prudes gonna prude.

I used to work for the company upstairs in the same building as the inspiration for this diorama. There was a video where he went out and let a lady in after hours and I was like holy fuck I know those stairs... and that door... for about 6 months I walked past that door and never saw the guy, the blinds always closed. But eventually I found out they discovered a tenant filming porn in the building and they kicked him out. And I was like I fucking new it!

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Is that actually a butt print on the couch?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 4 points 3 days ago

Now that is some attention to detail

Specifically the middle cushion. I have video.

This was made by the bearded miniaturist. He participated in the challenge show the best in miniature and the show is available on youtube on his youtube. Check him out!

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That’s awesome! Whats supposed to be funny about this?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a casting couch. AKA porn set

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh ok, I have actually heard of that. I didn’t know there was a single physical embodiment of that concept.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This one was just apparently wuite well known

[–] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

yeah this room has become the go-to meme when talking casting couch:

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

All that detail and he didn't include the picture on the wall.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I mean, until someone told me what it actually is referencing, I assumed it was about The Office. It looks like the same room they did all the cut-away talk to the camera bits in. 🤷‍♂️

I don't watch commercial, live-action porn. If it's live action at all, it's literally home-made. Porn with production value actually kinda sucks.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Porn with production value actually kinda sucks.

Totally disagree, you probably just haven't watched porn with enough production value

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 days ago

Nah, it's probably more a taste kinda thing. I dislike most produced porn for a variety of reasons, some being unsure on how ethical it is. I feel more comfortable with people sharing their personal nudes for people to see so I generally prefer amateur. Amateur also tends to have more realistic standards for beauty and sexiness? You get less of the cookie cutter huge dicks and either huge tits or barely past teen stuff.

There's also sometimes just a more general preference for less... produced/company/money made stuff even outside porn. Cosplay I generally am uninterested in the lewd stuff, but even outside it I like seeing people who worked hard on their outfits on their own time, and am far less interested in professional cosplayers who have whole teams etc.

So sometimes it's just preference, not we didn't see the right ones.

[–] kartoffelsaft@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago

It's got an N shape in my experience. Stuff someone recorded just because the're horny sucks. When they know how to operate a camera then it'll be the most genuine fulfllment of whatever specific thing you're into. When they're being payed to do it you can tell everything's kinda stilted and it sucks. When they have enough budget and acting skills to make it theater quality then it's good again (though I've rarely seen that for whatever reason).

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 35 points 4 days ago

It's such a staple of our western society, I know what this is without having seen a single... Episode.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I'm ootl here, what is this?

[–] Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 4 days ago

A well known porn set

[–] Grim@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 4 days ago

I believe it's a porn casting couch of sorts.

Hope my girlfriend gets the jobs 🤞🤞🤞

I want to know who finally called it out? What person was like I know that place! We all know a Karen (male or female) is who eventually pulled it, but what person originally admitted to knowing it?

[–] descartador@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 3 days ago

By the way, this miniature won third place in the competition, but the piece was ultimately disqualified for obvious reasons.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It kind of bothers me we don’t have a gay porn equivalent to this. We have some hilariously bad stuff that’s worthy of mockery and recognition. The porne ultimatum comes to mind as hilariously bad.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

“What you doing? You can’t wrap your hands around my dick!”

It’s so hilariously bad.
