Just ran into this because of David Foster Wallace's 90s story about the Las Vegas porn awards. Not affiliated with (and not even sharing the particular faith of) the site owners.

But the article seems worth sharing, although I have to warn that it contains descriptions of gut-wrenching violence.

The casual violence in this article is vicerally disturbing.

I wouldn't want to say it "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". I do think it is important to understand the industrialisation of violence and implications of supporting porn. This popular porn style is just clearly harmful.
