Referring to Miller is a waste of time. It was primarily concerned with obscenity. It had nothing to do with abuse, bad taste, or anything like that.
It introduced the “local community standards” doctrine, which meant that what was good in New York might not be legal in Dubuque. In other words, no standard at all.
And, Miller has been litigated hundreds of times since 1977. The rule is 2017 is not the same as the rule was back then in 1977.
Maybe try again, @molly
Here are the basic holdings in Miller:
1) whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards”, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest,
2) whether the work depicts or describes, in an offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions, as specifically defined by applicable state law (the syllabus of the case mentions only sexual conduct, but excretory functions are explicitly mentioned on page 25 of the majority opinion); and
3) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.[12]
