The Prudish Critique of James Hind: A Misguided Attack on Matt Taylor’s Satirical Humour.

August 11, 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of online discourse, it seems that no joke is too obvious or too harmless to escape the ire of self-appointed moral crusaders. Case in point: James Hind's recent prudish outburst over Matt Taylor’s satirical jest about filming a pornographic movie titled "Taylor's Harem." Hind’s critique, dripping with righteous indignation, reads more like a puritanical sermon than a reasoned response to a piece of entertainment clearly labelled as satire.

The Satire That Wasn’t Meant to Be Serious.

Matt Taylor, never one to shy away from pushing the boundaries of humour, recently published a satirical piece where he jokingly invited public figures like Kim Sears and Meghan Markle to star in a fictional pornographic film. The story was clearly marked as a joke, intended for entertainment purposes only. To most, the absurdity of the scenario and the outlandishness of the concept were dead giveaways that Taylor’s intent was to amuse, not offend.

Yet, James Hind, perhaps missing—or wilfully ignoring—the point, took to Twitter to express his outrage. "Writing on his social media that victims Angela Power Disney and Meghan Markle to appear in a porn video with him (Matthew Taylor of Brighton) is not satire, joke or funny, it is sick and twisted, and those victims, nor we, find it funny either," Hind tweeted, his words dripping with sanctimony.

The Hypocrisy of Selective Outrage.

It’s worth noting that Hind’s reaction comes across as especially hypocritical when viewed against the backdrop of modern media and culture. The music industry, for instance, is saturated with content that is, at the very least, suggestive—if not outright explicit. Music videos often blur the line between art and soft pornography, and these are beamed into homes around the world, viewed by millions without so much as a peep from critics like Hind.

Moreover, pornography itself makes up a staggering quarter of all internet traffic. It’s a ubiquitous part of the digital landscape, and whether one approves of it or not, it’s an undeniable fact that adults engage with adult content. Taylor’s joke, far from being out of place, taps into a genre of humour that acknowledges this reality with a wink and a nudge. It’s a mature joke for a mature audience, plainly not intended to be taken seriously.

The Right to Joke About Adult Subjects.

As adults living in an era where nearly anything can be accessed at the click of a button, it’s not unreasonable for someone like Matt Taylor to joke about adult subjects. What makes Hind’s critique so frustrating is his apparent refusal to accept that humour can—and often does—venture into taboo territory. The best satire often does. Taylor made it abundantly clear that his story was satirical, designed to entertain rather than offend.

For Hind to blow the whistle on this as if it were some grave moral transgression is to miss the point entirely. He elevates a harmless joke to the level of a social crisis, casting Taylor as a villain in a drama that simply doesn’t exist. By doing so, Hind inadvertently reveals more about his own discomfort with adult topics than he does about any supposed wrongdoing on Taylor’s part.

In Conclusion: A Song and Dance Over Nothing.

In the end, James Hind’s overwrought critique of Matt Taylor’s satirical joke is much ado about nothing. It’s a big song and dance over a harmless piece of entertainment that was never meant to be taken seriously. The real irony here is that while Hind rails against what he perceives as “sick and twisted,” he ends up looking more like the prudish schoolmarm shaking her finger at the class clown for daring to tell a joke.

As the world continues to evolve, so too does humour, and satire remains a vital part of our cultural dialogue. Instead of clutching pearls over every risqué joke, perhaps it’s time to recognize that not every jest is a personal attack, and that, yes, mature adults can handle a little humour without falling apart.
