Fandom Congruence

When the gods of Fandom are smiling upon us, lovely things happen. In A Song of Ice and Fire, we are hard pressed to find a character whose motives and decency are rarely questioned. It’s not difficult to have great affection for the few we can find, and probably none more so than Jon Snow. The casting of the role must have been a difficult chore, but HBO’s Game of Thrones got it right. Very right.

Rarely has the film/television casting of a role been so convincing as to actually increase the admiration of a much-beloved book character. Kit Harington, a newcomer, gives the character the perfect balance of skill, modesty, and longing. Obviously, the ages of most characters in the television adaptation have been bumped up a bit, but this portrayal of Jon Snow captures his sadness at being shunned by society, and even more hurtfully by his step-mother, in a believable way. Whether he is a teen or a young man, those hurts still penetrate, and in his eyes, you feel his isolation. With the big events that will arise in the series, I can only say, “THANK YOU!” to HBO so many times for the excellent casting job they pulled off, particularly with Ned, Jon, Arya, Jaime, and Tyrion.

  18. Teen porn can be a dangerous thing to watch. The Rothman study found that 72 high school girls were exposed to various sexual content. They were also less likely than their peers to use condoms in actual life. Teenagers are still vulnerable to the dangers associated with sex. Although it is against the law to show porn to minors, they are able to view and own it. It is illegal to show pornography to anyone under 18, however, it is legal for parents to let their children to watch it. Most teen pornography depicts male authority figures catching female subordinates who are doing something. The female subordinate is often a student, babysitter, or a child of a friend’s. This creates a stigma about sexuality and makes it difficult for the person who is consuming it to enjoy themselves. The content of teen porn does not only consist of videos of young women sporting tattoos. A lot of the videos are made by amateurs, and are not meant to be seen by the general public. A typical teen porn video shows sex between 18 and 19-year-old pornstars. Hardcore porn contains scenes of college babes having sex with big dick jocks and muscly frat boys in locker rooms.
