What happened to the notion of "sexual objectification"?

[Iwasamwillbe]

It used to be huge in the feminist-socjus political spheres in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but now I never once hear about it.

What I've always found strange is the feminist fixation on glorifying sex workers while simultaneously demonizing their customers.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that too lately. I used to hear from feminists about sexual objectification all the time but now it's almost completely been erased from their talking points. Granted I do hear it every now and again on rare occasion but not often enough to be as noticeable as it once was. I think it has a lot to do with LGBTQ becoming so fetishized over the last decade.

@Judge Holden, @It's HK-47, and @Jaimas, I've always loved your longposts. Do you have an explanation for this?

 

[Dom Cruise]

I don't know what planet you guys are living on because throwing a shit fit if any game or comic female character shows a bit of skin is still very much a thing feminists still whine about.

Their latest crusade has been going against sexy in anime.

Or glorifying sex workers but throwing a shit fit if a drawing or polygon model shows "skin"

 

[Jarolleon]

They won on that front, now nearly every woman in media is as frumpy as they are so they bitch about other things.

 

[special need's H20]

You know I never understood this talking point doesn't male sexuality already objectify women so to speak?

Can't speak for the others but I always endeavor to make my posts either entertaining and/or informative. I'm an old bastard with a broad knowledge base so if anything of value comes from it, that's why. If you enjoy my pointless rambling, so much the better.

Yeah, but do you have an idea as to why "sexual objectification" fell by the wayside recently?

@lolwut bribed some Vice staffers with a tanker truck loaded with tequila and got them to write articles about sex with fruit.

I would never fuck a Vice staffer. Might still have a couple of Cosmo writers in my basement, though.

It's been relabeled as being "empowering" so it's okay now.

Except for anything that can replace women, like anime vtubers. Then that's objectification.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

Fell off the wayside for more "important" concepts and notions, such as supporting sex workers, Harry Potter, and other bullshit.

 

[Trapitalism]

They still exist. They call these kinds "TERFs".

 

[Saffronette]

It seems like terms such as "sexual objectification" or "over sexualization" are used in order as a means to control certain types of media like anime and video games. It's usually women obsessed with gay porn that tend to whine about it though.

 

[sadstuck]

Everyone got addicted to porn, so there's no use fighting against it now.

Or rather women realized they can get free money by just posting pictures of themselves objectifying themselves online.

Which is why anime vtubers are making them froth at the mouth.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

I just heard this term in my class last week that's also 95% female as they discussed a scene in the book we're reading where the teenage protagonist admits to fawning over Deanna Troi from TNG and his uncle's wife's breasts because he's a teenage boy going through puberty.

It hasn't gone away, at least not in English college classes.

 

[MediocreMilt]

They switched tactics and started calling it "the male gaze".

It's basically the same thing, but it shits on men more directly.
