I was watching an Amazing Atheist video and something he said actually reminded me of this topic.

Why is sexualising women or men bad?

What is wrong with sex?

 

What exactly is wrong with using sex to sell?

[Bofur]

What's right with it?

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

What kind of response is that?

 

What's right with your response?

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

With Rad on that latter post. That was kind of a wussy response.

I think sexualizing women and men is wrong personally because I don't want to have it constantly thrown at me that I'm little more than an intelligent animal, and I don't want to believe the point of life is to have kids and pass on the human race. Nothing's wrong with sex, but making a point of something that should be slightly more discrete isn't what the media should be about. Actually, never minding sex, the media should keep quiet things that are meant to be discrete anyway (referring to the phone tapping crap).

But we are intelligent animals and our life is about passing on genetic material.

 

Now that I think about it the internet is probably less sex-saturated than TV now that the Evony ads have vanished.

Unless you're looking for porn or going through your spam folder it's not as prevalent as on TV or print.

Probably because the internet is interactive and when bullshit is thrown around it's called on, so generally it's harder mislead people using sex because most advertising on the net is via word of keyboard.

I'm gay. Your argument is invalid.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

That just means you're doing it wrong.

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

I don't think I've ever heard anything so obnoxious, but I'll not make a big deal out of it. True, however, TV and print have become, well, yes, saturated with porn, for all intensive purposes. The infamous 50 Shades series (which I might read eventually, to see what the fuss is all about), and Game of Thrones.

[Bofur]

That just means you're doing it wrong.

*wrongly

for all intensive purposes.

*intents and purposes

And 50 shades is only infamous due to its boldness. It's nothing amazing.

Bofur, so help me I will spam your Facebook with 'will you marry me?' posts, should you make any more pointless grammar posts.

[Pasidon]

Hey now... any man has the right to make anti gay comments, since we're letting you make anti straight comments.  I got loads of both.

 

 

What exactly is wrong with using sex to sell?

 

It's disgusting... I'd rather see a crow pecking someone's eye out than jean shorts.  

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Sorry, how was I anti-straight? 

[Pasidon]

I'm just saying.... you are allowed.

It wasn't pointless, I was just helping lesser-educated people to see the error in their ways. ( )

No one likes pedantry Bofur and Wrong is right in my case because it's a reference.

[Bofur]

It's not a reference, unless Irenë is also called Wrong. It's an adverb, hence "wrongly"

And yes, no one likes a pedant, but it was a joke, hence the

Why's there so much "hence" in this post? It's mad!

[Pasidon]

I've missed this...

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Shut up Bofur. You're making a nuisance. What was I saying?

[Bofur]

No idea. Something about not being anti-straight?

[OmegaBolt]

See what happens when women aren't sexualized? You get discussions on gay or straight.

 

Also I hope people have listened to this because it's been out for a millenium of modern time.
