The Rule of First Adopters: Difference between revisions

 

Of course, the reason this trope practically exists is because [[Freud Was Right]]. A result of this rule is (in part) why [[The Internet Is for Porn]]. Can contribute to the perception that [[New Media Are Evil]]. May be a [[Mundane Utility]]. See also [[Rule 34]] and [[Intercourse With You]]. See [[Video Game Perversity Potential]] for this trope as applied to video game editors.

 

== Anime & Manga ==

** Those pristine white marble statues were originally painted. With extreme accuracy.

** [[Older Than Dirt]]: Erotic cave paintings have been found that are between 30,000 to 40,000 years old.

 

 

== Comic Books ==

** Related, from the 1950s to the 1970s Brazil saw the "catechisms" (yes, another "hiding sex with religious names"!) of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Z<!-- C3A9firo Carlos Zéfiro]] (catalogued [[http://www.carloszefiro.com/capas3.php here]] - as NSFW as the above). -->

 

** In fact, it's pretty much eliminated a once-standard shot, the cowboy. Imitating the point of view of a man who is having sex with the woman on top with better video cameras mean those breast implant scars are really visible from that angle.

* Parodied in ''[[Coupling]]'' in which, after making a brave attempt at rationalizing his possession of a movie called "Lesbian Spank Inferno" [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|with in-depth critical and symbolic analysis]] to the other members of a dinner party after his female friends bring it up to embarrass him, Steve cracks and engages in a lengthy and not-unconvincing rant in which he makes the case that the entire history of human artistic and technological development has been motivated solely so that men could get a better look at women's bottoms.

* ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'' seemed to be the only ''[[Star Trek]]'' series to realise that the ''only'' thing most people would use a holodeck for would be having sex. Quark's was essentially a holo-brothel, although the Federation characters were just a bit too squeaky clean to ever use it for that (that we saw). You might wonder how anyone would ever get anything done in the 24th Century with the ability to create fully functional, three-dimensional interactive characters that have no free will whatsoever.

** As Scott Adams (creator of ''[[Dilbert]])'' once wrote, "The holodeck will be [[The End of the World As We Know It|mankind's last invention.]]"

* ''[[Dollhouse]]'' took this to a new extreme: the technology that will reprogram humanity into a horde of mindless engines of pure violence and bring about the apocalypse? Let alone allow the technology that would allow the villains behind said apocalypse to gain immortality via erasing innocent peoples' minds and over-writing them with their own mind? It came from technology that allowed for prostitutes/escorts to be programmed into personalized sex puppets.

** Which itself seems like a [[Shout Out]] to Molly Millions, the best-known character of [[William Gibson]]. In ''[[Neuromancer]]'' the use of sex puppets is the ''only'' thing such technology is used for.

** Against all the odds Tracy actually ''succeeds'' in creating his porn video game.
