Porn and Outrage Porn--- what's the diff?

I'm listening to Barnhardt's latest podcast.  She's going off on Ariana Grande, whoever that is.  Yep, I am so out of it that I don't know who this person is.

She's connected to the Manchester terrorist event in the UK.  Anyway, Barnhardt says that Grande is actually into "porn" as she describes it.  Well, I cannot vouch for it, since I am not at all familiar with this artist.

I did do a minor research of Grande, but I didn't listen to her music or anything.  However, it doesn't surprise me a bit if she is a bit of a pervert.  Why bother?  It only will scandalize anybody to find that out.  Then you get into outrage porn.

Outrage porn?  My understanding of what this term is may well be incorrect, but I think it is when people go off on a tangent in reacting to something that outrages them.  So, they make a statement for the world to see, and the people get into that too.  So, it is like everybody getting off on something, like it was porn or something that they watch or consume.

It could well be that when getting mad enough to be in a outrage, and insisting that the world knows about it, is something of a pornographic moment.  People love to be angry about something.

So, does this mean that we shouldn't be outraged at what is being done to innocent little girls who go to these concerts and see what amounts to porn?  I don't think venting about it on the internet is really going to make any difference.

The thing to do it seems, is to do what you can in your own life.  Don't add to porn, but clean yourself up.  If that is possible, that is.  People are so into porn, don't you know.  It is worth a lot of clicks.

But the truth is just so boring.

Yeah, I guess that may be a bit of jealousy coming out.  Let's have some porn, by golly.  That will get their attention.  It would help make my blog more popular.  (yay me)
