The western ones are just as bad, loads of "thug" themed videos with black guys who appear to be real gentlemen. Some people get a racist boner, porn caters to them. Fuck those guys.
The best IR JAV are the consensual ones where the woman is really into it.
I respect your opinion as well as that of BDrake here, although I must say I have developed an appreciation for certain r*** themed titles as well, with specific limitations.
For example, there are a few IBW titles that I LOVE where some choice actresses (some of them rather new to the biz) get picked up, stripped and fucked by they crew. In some of these scenes, in my opinion anyway, it looks like that while the actresses are "acting" in line with the theme, in terms of being frightened and intimidated, begging not to be touched, etc., at the same time when the guys start double teaming them and passing them around the actresses start getting off on it and some of them either orgasm, or fake it very well.
However, to your point, there are some IBW scenes where the girls are noticeably less enthusiastic, and clearly just trying to get through the scene, and while I still find it hot because it is not crazy hardcore or abusive, I don't find myself going back to those as much as the ones where the girls are clearly enjoying being manhandled, despite their "scared" acting.
Straight up r*** titles where there is no enjoyment and just a lot of rough stuff do nothing for me. I understand commercially they must be viable as they keep pumping them out (I understand it is a power dynamic thing that probably appeals to the disenfranchised and frustrated, among others, hence why they sell), but if it is overacted and zero sense of enjoyment on part of the girl I really don't want to see it.
As to your point about western scenes - there is a DogFart series that I love called InterracialBlowBang, which is basically a bunch of black dudes gangbanging white girls, or white dudes gangbanging black girls, with a few Asians thrown in for diversity?(lol). Anyway, they always have some little intro where they are like "We are gonna bang out this girl and stick it to the white man etc", for example. I find this hilarious, because it is obvious that half the dudes are baked and they are all playing along, but clearly in a "lets just have a good time shooting this scene" sense.
Technically is this "racist"? I guess so. However, I love the site and hardly take any of it seriously because I truly believe it is meant to be a tongue in cheek backdrop to the scene. I happen to love the way they do it on that site because it is soo funny and all the dudes are throwing out these hilarious comments and quips the whole time, it is more of a gangbang with a bunch of stand up comics popping risque one liners than anything remotely racially disrespectful. I mean, unless you get offended over shit like that, in which you probably should just not turn on your computer or leave your house ever again.
One western scene that I completely cracked up over is Gangland 78 with Danica Dillan. Black dudes show up in a warehouse and she is like what are you doing here? They of course are like oh you saying that cause we are black right? She points at D Snoop and is like well he is more mocha, and while they are all trying not to break up laughing, D Snoop is like see that's what the fuck I'm talking about man this is bullshit and they bang her out lol.
Frankly anyone who watches porn looking for outright actual racism and gets off on that shit is fucked in the head, but that is just my opinion, which I completely agree with you on. There are a few JAV scenes I have come across where they really push the whole racism thing (As well as FacialAbuse which is more discussed below), and those also fell into the hardcore r*** shit with no enjoyment, which is a double no for me either way.
Point being there is a distinction for me between funny "racism" and cold r*** videos where racist comments are meant to demean and convey a more sinister sentiment to the scene. I figure it is the latter category that you and BDrake dislike as much as I do. I have a hard time imagining a wide market for those anyway. FacialAbuse does a lot of videos like that, and even the ones where the actress is somehow into it, I have a hard time watching their scenes. I doubt they are as commercially successful as DogFart or BangBros though, although it is a niche site so not entirely fair comparison.
Interesting discussion and I hope you don't mind my chiming in, I am hoping for more IR releases in the coming months so we can move on from the "commercial breaks" and onto some quality JAV IR title discussion!
P.S. I keep wishing upon a star that Aki Sasaki will burst out of retirement for just a few more IR scenes lol. Wishful thinking to the max...I know
