The Counterculture Switch: creating in a hostile environment 🔗
by Baldur Bjarnason on .
The collapse of counterculture with the obscene and criminal is intentional. Independently produced queer content that has about as much nudity as was practically mandatory in an eighties comedy (boy do those age badly) gets lumped in with hardcore pornography. Anything on the “outside” becomes by definition obscene and borderline criminal. Artists find themselves operating in a hostile environment.
