I was looking at a sponsor banner today and noticed on the banner they call what's happening in the Adult Internet Industry a 'Revolution'.
Initially I thought to myself 'haha, they meant evolution'....but then I started questioning that. For me, the word 'revolution' brings up thoughts of fighting against 'the system'....of forcing change because the system is insufficient etc etc...a 'cycle' or 180 turn from the current situation.
