“Normal Porn for Normal People” is an appropriated media piece that explores our societal need to consume violence for entertainment. The film comments on the fetishism and romanticizing of violent imagery, while observing the link to commercial consumerism that both demonizes and exploits human sexuality. Interview segments from prominent serial killers expose and echo our endless need to devour salacious content by glorifying and normalising both real and fictional violence. Sexuality and sexual images remain a convenient scapegoat that facilitates a continued avoidance regarding the impact that the glorification of violence has within American culture.
