Reminder that the phrase "without any significant artistic merit" is completely meaningless as there is no such thing as objective determination of artistic worth.
It's just blanket censorship for "thing we do not like" where usually the goal is to discriminate against some group or other.

meant titillate and arouse Right so now that's a bit of bias I'm find very curious. Who exactly decided that arousal, lust or titillation was a less valid emotional state than joy, compassion, anger or amusement? By what logic? And if art is intended to elicit emotional reaction or to communicate, then how is eliciting arousal not exactly that?
