> A rude gesture or crass words seems vulgar. A video of a penis being sucked doesn't. "Vulgar" is the sort of word you might hear a shrill, paternal sitcom character use to describe a minor inconvenience or faux pas, and it's just as hilarious when people use it as an argument in real life.

In the mean time you can spare people gratuitous, graphic descriptions of explicit sex acts, AKA pornography, and keep your depraved fantasies for yourself.

"gratuitous, graphic descriptions of explicit sex acts,"

If you think a blowjob being described in seven words to make a point about vulgarity is 'gratuitous', 'graphic', or 'explicit', your moral compass is severely out of whack.

My fantasies aren't depraved in any way, but they are well-represented in pornography.

Your certainly qualify as a vulgar individual given the fact that you feel the need to depict pornography here trying to make a point about god knows what.

Depict? I've held off from the ASCII art here. Though I recall a 1975 Ascii art of a Playboy centerfold (in 1975, no vulva in Playboy at that time). Yes, I was in computing at that time, though as a prepubescent at that time not super into porn.

Point about god knows what? Pretty sure it's been clear all along, art encompasses things we like and things we don't.
