Talk:Hustler (magazine)

message: The following are the first three sentences of the article as it exists now:
: Hustler is a monthly pornographic magazine aimed at men and published in the United States. It was first issued in 1974.  It was a step forward from the Hustler Newsletter which was cheap advertising for his strip club businesses.
Of course, this is incoherent writing, as the person that "his" refers to hasn't even been introduced. Replacing "his" with "Larry Flynt" wouldn't be much better, as then the sentence reads like an unrelated anecdote. So I'm going to change this passage to the following:
: Hustler is a monthly pornographic magazine aimed at men and published in the United States. It was first published in 1974 by Larry Flynt. It was a step forward from the Hustler Newsletter which was cheap advertising for his strip club businesses at the time.

message: Nature of Content section claims "first American magazine to show pubic hair". This can easily be disproved by scrolling thru http://www.scribd.com/doc/97912/Timeless-The-Women-of-Playboy-19532004 which shows the pubic hair of Miss December 1971 Karen Christy and Miss January 1972 Marilyn Cole, as well as clearer photos in Playboy later in 1972. Since Hustler was not even published until 1974, it couldn't have been first.
The text of this WP page should be modified to indicate what Hustler *did* pioneer in. Pubic hair was also depicted by Alberto Vargas in his Playboy drawings as early as January 1970. Martindo (talk) 09:13, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Why isn't anything here on Herceg vs. Hustler case?
From Autoerotic asphyxiation:
In Herceg v. Hustler, Diane Herceg sued Hustler magazine for the death of her 14-year-old son, Troy D., who had experimented with autoerotic asphyxia after reading about it in that publication.

message: Bizarrely, the UK edition heads this feature "Arsehole of the Month". Bizarrely, because (1) it doesn't seem to make any other editorial concessions to the UK (I mean, who in the UK actually uses the word "afficionada"?) and (2) the cartoon depicts the victim as the back end of a pony - which is still an "ass" in British English, not an "arse". So the one concession the magazine makes to British English, it gets wrong. - Walnuts go kapow (talk) 10:37, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The entire section was an attack on the magazine and I have made a few changes. 
The section now actually reads as a list of regular features as should be intended, however it currently needs more sources.
I have removed a full paragraph from the page which was an unsourced attack.
I have added a criticism section and moved a sourced paragraph in question from "Regular Features" to the new section.
Due to the nature of the issue, I have added a NPOV tag to the page until other editors see this issue as resolved.
Please look over the changes and discuss. 24.182.164.78 (talk) 21:44, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

message: The "study" referred to in the "criticism" section is poorly cited. No idea what's in the supposed source, but I would assume a legit study "funded by the Department of Justice " would be sourceable online. 
There's a reason it isn't. An unauthorized DOJ staffer (and former writer for Captain Kangaroo) using DOJ stationary tried to claim she'd done a study which supposedly included Playboy and Penthouse and was designed to "prove" that mainstream pornography in the 80s was a breeding ground for pedophilia. 
The mention here is obviously an attempt to smear Hustler while disavowing responsibility. It should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.32.129.175 (talk) 23:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

message: The short-lived spinoff magazine Hustler Hard Drive (first issue September 1995, ISSN 1082-9954) should probably be noted somewhere on the article. Waxworker (talk) 07:31, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: moved. Per loss of confidence in the magazine being primary anymore, backed up by usage and long-term significance arguments. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 22:22, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hustler →  – Hustler more often refers to the group of professions in American English collectively called "Hustlers", especially in the contemporary times, yet due to dialectal variations it is best to make the page Hustler a redirect to the disambiguation page like it should've always been. While the magazine may be the most impactful form of hustler, that does not necessarily mean it is what one will be searching for as someone who is searching for the magazine will search with magazine in the term instead of just the term hustler, as if they themselves already concede that information for the term hustler will not be searching for hustler. Using Google Trends, one notices that searches for the term "Hustler" spike every summer, which just so happens to be when hustling as a group of professions are most active, whilst the magazine is far less searched for, and that pornographic magazines as a whole are on the decay. What may have been a major usage of Hustler in the early 2000s, which is likely considering the trend, can no longer confidently be considered the case.
