26	26	A particularly controversial area of discourse is the claim of Jewish dominance in the pornography industry. This idea is often traced to a provocative essay by Jewish academic Nathan Abrams, titled “Triple-Exthnics” (2004), which states:

38		-Abrams argues that Jewish involvement in the development of American pornography, especially in the mid-20th century, was not incidental but ideologically motivated—an expression of rebellion against Christian cultural norms and a means of "ethnic revenge" against perceived repression. This can be explicitly seen in the aforementioned [[Triple-Exthnics>>attach:111175827-Triple-Exthnics-Nathan-Abrams-on-Jews-in-the-American-Porn-Industry.pdf]]. We have made available the full article, which was published in [[Jewish Quarterly,>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jewish_Quarterly]] so this isn't some inferred conspiracy, this is straight from Jewish voices themselves. First lets go into who some of the heavy hitters were.

49	49	Mainstream academic responses tend to downplay Jewish identity as a relevant factor. Still, even a brief examination of historical figures in the industry—such as Reuben Sturman (dubbed “the Walt Disney of porn”) or later digital-era producers—shows a disproportionate Jewish presence, similar to that seen in other media sectors. The issue becomes less about the fact of involvement and more about whether discussing it constitutes bigotry.
