Obscenidade é um conceito moral no arsenal verbal da classe dominante, que abusa do termo aplicando-o não a expressões de sua própria moralidade, mas às de outros. Obscena não é a imagem de uma mulher nua expondo seus pelos pubianos, mas a de um general em traje de gala expondo as medalhas que angariou numa guerra de agressão; obsceno não é o ritual dos hippies, mas a declaração de um alto dignatário da igreja de que a guerra é necessária para se promover a paz.
Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the Establishment, which abuses the term by applying it, not to expressions of its own morality but to those of another. Obscene is not the picture of a naked woman who exposes her pubic hair but that of a fully clad general who exposes his medals rewarded in a war of aggression; obscene is not the ritual of the Hippies but the declaration of a high dignitary of the Church that war is necessary for peace.
Herbert Marcuse, An Essay on Liberation, 8
I agree with you. Also, as for obscenity in common, everyday speech, there are times when it's appropriate and others when it's not. It's true that there are things more offensive and disturbing than foul language, but not everybody who uses obscenity is doing it for the sake of causing offense. Those who do are idiots..This is a truism, and a silly one. It's usually trotted out by people who are offended by "obscene" language, but don't quite want to admit that. After all, prudery does seem prudish and goofy in our modern world, doesn't it? smiles
