We normally find ourselves writing with glee about Japanese adult video’s penchant for parody, in which the industry often reacts very quickly to events and cultural phenomena with pastiche porn par excellence.
But this time, JAV was beaten to the punch by porn makers in Taiwan.
Netflix’s Korean hit Squid Game, whose sex scenes we have written about, has now inspired a porn rip-off on the East Asian island nation.
Details are slim, though news about the upcoming porn release is spreading online for the past week or so. With the original drama’s themes of punishment and torture, it’s ripe for BDSM and humiliation/shame fetish porn. That said, the pictures make the production values look pretty cheap, though we will withhold full judgment until we have seen the whole thing. In the name of research, natch!
Hold on, it seems we unfairly maligned our Japanese porn peers: there is already a Japanese porn parody of Squid Game, called (inevitably) Squirt Game.
Well, kind of. The information online is a bit muddled but at least one of the videos claimed to be a parody of the Netflix show is actually an older AV release (possibly SDDE-439) that was recently repurposed by netizens to cash in on the buzz and attract clicks to porn sites like Spank Bang. Does this mean that JAV anticipated Squid Game?
Given JAV’s precedent for parody, we look forward to the full Squid Game send-up that is surely in the planning stages in a production company’s office somewhere.
