#objectification is bad

[scarlet--wiccan]

It’s not that I’m not grateful, but it in hindsight there was no reason for Pietro to get naked like that.

This photoshoot is a gift.

There's too many women-centered nsfw blogs around.

It's all about tits and asses.

Where's all the men-centered sexy kinky fetish blogs? Why is always only objectification of women? (Noone should be objectified btw. But since these blogs exist I will not even try to start yelling that people should stop. I would just love to see some balance.)

You see, the problem with the male gaze is exactly that. When you imagine porn, what angle does your view take? How does your mind picture it? On his body? Or on hers? And why do you think your brain shapes the pictures as it does? Do you think it does this because that's just what you like?

*sigh*

Well, no, actually, it doesn't.

Your brain does not make every picture up - that would be way too energy intense and brains are pretty good at saving energy. Instead it takes every picture it has ever been exposed to and combines them to new ones. Of course it will prefer those pictures that sparked your liking, but if you have only ever seen stuff through the male gaze, you will not be able to come up with a different view.

That is also why being exposed to porn at a very young age (13 -17) is dangerous, because it will shape the way your brain thinks and perceives the world.

It's the exact same with violence.

If you grow up in an environment full of violence your brain will eventually become numb to it. That does not say that you will turn violent or that you cannot grow up to despise it! You absolutely can!

Anyways.

We need less "I've been cooking naked in an apron for you honey until you come home and I can give you a bj" and more "I've been cooking naked in an apron for you until you come home and I can lick you from under the table".

More depiction of men wanting to please women. More pictures with the intention of pleasuring and directed at women.

Helloooo Igor 👀 [via his instagram June 18, 2018]

I'm excited for the new XBox 360 game, Watch Dogs. You run around as the hacker version of Batman with a large side of Anonymous, which is cool. It's made by Ubisoft, which is also cool (I'm fond of Assassin's Creed and it has a similar style overall).

But you know what tickled me pink? The cinematic/story trailer.

Our masked protagonist follows a shady businessman into a club. It is a club full of bad guys. You know how the viewer knows they're bad guys?

They're objectifying women. Literally. They are literally using a woman as a piece of furniture when the camera pans into the room, and that is your cue that these guys are BAD PEOPLE in big bold letters. 

Then our masked protagonist proceeds to walk past their security and beat the ever-living shit out of a room full of human traffickers, leaving one of them with a hole in his kneecap just as the cops roll in to clean up the mess, and then suddenly the shady businessman's face is plastered over every large public Times Square-style screen in the city next to photos of the women he trafficked and the words "I'M WATCHING YOU" scrolling by in big letters.

I'm sorry, did you say you were making a game where you get to beat, dismantle, and publicly shame criminals for doing unspeakable crimes to women? Please direct me to your sign-up sheet.
