Sex Sells Baby

[WallFlowerActive]

I think we all can agree that things get corrupted?  Be it either by something “evil” or by corporations.  

Where does the natural sexy drive stop?  And the junk sex pushed by the porn industry, sex toy manufacturers, sex robot industry, big pharma, and just advertising start?
 

H&M pulls ad after complaints over sexualisation of school girls

If we are beings purely material as in no soul, does it matter teens for example are sexualised for profit?  

Is your sexual identity a product of you?  Or a result of endless manipulation by media and corporations for profit?

I think one of the most distributing things I have encountered.  If it’s true.  And I understand people grieve in different ways.  Are people having sex dolls / robots made in the image of a life parter that died.

it is the same with lust that
consumerism does with greed
fast food does with gluttony
drugs do with sloth
hollywood does with envy
politicians do with wrath
social media does with pride

gotta make a buck somehow
caveat emptor
pick your poison
freedom baby

Like the bird above me said, the industry uses desire which is normal and natural to turn people into consumers of garbage. It is not exaggerated to say we all are exploited livestock and the people we choose to protect us from this (law enforcement, government, ministries) are not only allowing this abuse but they are also the perpetrators of, because of financial gains. That should freak people out a bit but I see that most don't have the mental capacity to contemplate the implications of this. Or the courage

well maybe to take a more buddhist-lite view of this, it's not so negative. the 'defilements', and their particular blend and flavours, are the things that colour each individual, make them uniquely different. the actions of karma. otherwise everyone would be samesame onehead on a mountain or borghoard or something. so very real is freedom, freedom to pursue lust greed pride etc and see where it takes you, and society provides that. maybe not entirely an exploitation but adding variety to the dance of individuality? but yes exploitation too haha, that's part of the dance.

I wanted to quote you and I hit the report button, sorry about that. 
The exploited part ultrabudgie comes with that garbage that is being sold to people, like sex, drugs, shit food, shit entertainment, this things hinder peoples mind and put them in a docile state of being and wanting for more garbaje. The sellers know this but they won't  do the best for the addict, otherwise there would be no money to make.
So what I'm saying is that, that freedom and personal choice is a bit cheated

well chivo people say they want to be moral and pure and want society to do it for them and then dodge personal responsibility when it doesn't

okay well that's human nature?

but that's no excuse for placing stumbling blocks; you're right

it is like epstein list. porn as an industry exploits young women. and men too. so by some measure, if you support watching porn, you are the epstein client list.

haha i make controvery statement to perhaps get some thread traffic?

Just looked up the ad in question, hardly sexual by American standards....formless grey dresses.

Britney Spears was WAY more provocative back i the 90's, but people who sexualize young girls are going to do so no matter what they wear.

:(

I think they're going for viral outrage marketing on this one.

Is only fans the equivalent of cage free / free range chickens for the porn industry?

lol, bitingly sarcastic, because the 'chickens' are still having their potential children eaten by others. haha!

it is interesting and perhaps in an american way, that it is conative dissonance: it's not exploitation if they're being paid
