Raw Meat is a quoteblog by Aaron Swartz.

Every time you show the audience something that is “real,” they think one of two things: (1) “oh, dash it all, that’s fake” or (2) “oh my God, that’s real!” Each one of these takes the audience away from the story you’re telling, and neither one is better than the other. “Oh, he’s not really copulating with her” or “oh my God, he’s really copulating with her!” Both lose the audience. If we suggest the idea, we can shoot it better than if we show it.
