- Playboy's recent online "So Right, It's Wrong"
campaign to "hate rape" ten conservative women, providing a gallery
with their names, photos and videos has received some rightful condemnation.
However, few people realize that "hate rape" mirth is in keeping
with Playboy's long history of marketing the sexual assault of women and
children.
-
- Many liberals and conservatives were stunned both by
Playboy's call to rape the ten ladies in its online issue and by AOL's
loyal censorship of those who criticized its 'rape your enemy treatise.'
-
- After Playboy dumped its cowardly tract, inevitably,
thousands of Playboy-trained users defended its rape campaign as "edgy"
"speech."
-
- In fact, Playboy's website brags that such 'edgy' erototoxins
are busily arousing 10 million Americans plus "partners in more than
50 countries throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia.in 200 countries
and territories," thus growing the demand side of the global sex traffic.
-
- Playboy is statically documented as long supporting the
sex traffic and the rape of women and children as a class -- albeit usually
absent specific names.
-
- For example, the November 1971 Playboy (redacted) image
of a naked sleeping child urged dads to do what? "BABY DOLL: It's
easy to feel paternalistic to the cuddly type above. Naturally, she digs
forceful father figures, so come on strong, Big Daddy!"
-
- Historically all females, liberal or conservative, are
treated with the mandarin slavery mentality of contempt and sexual violence
by Playboy and its erototoxic satellites.
-
- Scientific research commonly finds sex and drugs co-morbid
addictions. As principal investigator for the U.S. Department of Justice,
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention study, Images of Children,
Crime & Violence in Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler (Grant No. 84-JN-AX-K007,
1989), my research team documented Playboy's strategic seduction of vulnerable
consumers into both addictions.
-
- In 1987, psychiatrist Dr. Linnea Smith and I reported
on "Sports, Children, Drugs, Crime and Violence in Playboy Magazine"
to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
-
- Youngsters trust publications that profile sports heroes.
Collegiate football players appear in the '50s and college basketball players
since November 1977 in Playboy's "All-American Team."
-
- Playboy merged sports, sex, and mirthful rape since 1954,
adding illicit drugs in 1968. In the late '60s, visual drug scenes appeared,
with 28% involving juveniles as glamorous and harmless.
-
- In 1970, the Playboy Foundation bankrolled NORML, the
National Organization for the Repeal of Marijuana Laws (later "Reform"),
and lobbied for legalization of cocaine.
-
- In 1975, market researchers found over 6 million children
raised in Playboy homes, many of those who today can laugh at the hate
rape crusade. (How many of these are parents whose daughters send naked
photos of themselves across the Internet?)
-
- With Playboy marketing prostitution, selling the Phototron
(commonly used to grow marijuana indoors) was a logical extension of its
interests.
-
- In 1979 psychologist, Aaron Hass (Teenage Sexuality)
said almost all children trusted Playboy for reliable sex advice, values,
and mores. Our early studies found just over 30% of Playboy images were
"child magnets." These were commonly sexualized cartoons and
illustrations with special child appeal, (i.e., Santa Claus, Cowboys and
Indians, coloring books) like the colorful "Feds 'N Heads" (May
1971) druggie board game.
-
- Playboy's August 1984 "Official Boy Scout Handbook"
awarded a "Water Safety" badge for scouts who had Johnnie Walker
straight. Cocaine smoking scouts got a "Free-Basing" badge.
-
- In our study of 373 Playboy issues, there were 3,045
child images (children under age 18), an average of 8.2 images per issue,
158 (5%) linked to drugs or alcohol; 52% of these were drug and 48% alcohol
related.
-
- This is a quick contextual sketch of Playboy's recent
"hate rape" movement as based on a systematic use of cartoons
to condition the viewer, to see the mirth in sexualized children, even
raped children in photographs.
-
- Playboy falsely states that they never portrayed children
in sex scenes with adults. Fully 415 (14%) of our 3,045 Playboy child images
found children in a happy or neutral sex scene with adults. For example,
an officer lethargically observes Dorothy's three friends skip off after
apparently having raped her. "That's them officer!" (March 1978,
p. 231). This was typical of 21% (646) images linking children with nudity
and 14% (424) with genital acts.
-
- No Playboy child sex abuse scene ever showed the child
as harmed. Playboy displayed adult-child sex via its fold out biography
and in "Sex in Cinema" featuring oral and incestuous activity.
-
- In sum, Playboy's drugs and child sex rapes are part
of a larger context of prostitution propaganda, often in a sadomasochistic
or ritual, virgin sacrifice context. Playboy laughs at gang rape, incestuous
abuse, juvenile prostitution, necrophilia, and sadomasochism.
-
- Hence, Playboy commonly depicts men and boys as impotent,
as "too small," and as rapists. Most children were between six
and eleven years of age -- the most common age group for actual incestuous
abuse and general child maltreatment. Based on case histories, sex offender
and survivor testimonies, child pornography, child prostitution, and sex
rings research, and onsite crime evidence, Playboy has long been used to
sexually entrap children.
-
- To do this, Playboy, like all erototoxins, is at war
with real men. Liberal Playboy icon Dr. Bernie Zilbergeld wonders why Playboy
sexually ridicules men in their cartoons.
-
- "Humor is the basic source of education ... and
sexual humor boasts all the old crap and all the old fears. It counts.
Sex is loaded with anxiety, even for ten-year-olds. Cartoons that poke
fun at impotence or other male inadequacies would outweigh any supportive
things said in the advice column" (Thomas Weyr, Reaching For Paradise,
1978, p. 218).
-
- As in the Playboy "mirthful" cartoon above
of a man who sexually assaults a woman in the elevator, men who are ridiculed
as impotent, too small, or deformed are at high risk of proving their virility
by finding mirth in what they will call "edgy.hate rape" speech
and actions.
-
- Cowards are historically dangerous to the weak and vulnerable.
-
-
- Dr. Reisman, president of the Institute for Media Education,
has written frequently for HUMAN EVENTS on Alfred Kinsey. She is the author
of Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences The Red Queen and the Grand Scheme and
the soon to be released Kinsey's Attic: How One Man's Sexual Pathology
Changed the World.
