Bourdain was dating Argento's daughter, Asia, at the time he presumably offed himself btw Asia starred with a kid in some movie and then years later when he was 16 or 17 she was banging him, maybe a groom job I don't know but either way ew she had been prominent in the MeToo movement up to that point, obviously there was a hard after the revelation here's a pic of the couple in question when they first worked together:

It sounds like you're making an ephobilia argument here. Please don't do this in the Epstein thread Agree that the thread should move on, but I think it's overstating it to classify things like Gossip Girl, the OC (Euphoria is sus) and most slasher movies having 25 year olds playing high schoolers as meant to represent literal teens, but I guess the target audience for these examples are actual teens more so than adults. Like I don't know if Gossip Girl would have appealed to me as a teen if it was about trashy drama in a law firm and not a fantasy of trashy rich prep school drama. Actually don't really disagree with you...lots of characters are made to be 15-17 for no plot reason other than titialation. Paffgen has issued a correction as of 17:11 on Jul 19, 2020 |

Seems to me that teens would know to have sex with each other even without media representation of sex-having teens, just like they know how to shoot up their schools without media representation of school shooters.

I once went to San Diego Comicon back when the Twilight series was still being filmed and I stayed in Hall H all day (because that's where all the massive media events took place) so I had to sit through a Twilight panel and the entire rest of the audience was moms with their teenage daughters and they were so thirsty for Robert Pattinson that when he came out they were hooting and hollering and shouting their hotel room numbers at him Well that's my story.

I'm just not convinced that media sexualizing teens is what is responsible for predators doing their thing; I tend to blame the predators for that kind of thing. I'm mostly worried that morality scolds are trying to co-opting the moment for their repressive ideologies, especially since the lines drawn appear to be pretty out there. If you were making a point about media crossing the line with children, and referencing anime or whatever I'd be a lot more receptive to the argument.

Eh, maybe a bad example, I have not actually read it. Let's say The Return of the Living Dead then, where actress Linnea Quigley, who I think were in her thirties at the time, plays a teen who then gets topless for titillation purposes. I don't see how enjoying the movie makes you an abuser, and find the implied response of "well, only teens can enjoy it" to be pretty silly. thotsky has issued a correction as of 17:43 on Jul 19, 2020 |

I think it's just an element of our society being hosed up. We have child beauty pageants, teenage sex comedies, random teen titillation in various TV shows and movies, etc. America as a society just loves sexualizing minors.

King of Solomon posted:Your argument is basically the same as libertarians saying they're not pedophiles for wanting to gently caress teenagers, because it's ephebophilia, not pedophilia, man I feel like there's a lot to unpack here, but the easiest to address first would be the difference between sexualizing someone and actively trying to have sex with them. Can we agree that if I were to reminisce about the early days with my girlfriend way back when we were in our late teens I'm not suddenly being a pedo? Schmeichy posted:You seem to be saying sexualizing children isn't ok but teens is. I can't say with any authority whether sexualizing fictional children is harmful, but I do know that it is loving gross. An 18-year old is an adult, so I just don't think it is comparable. I'd never date someone that young now, but it would have been completely normal when I was in high-school and college, so making a blanket statement about sexualizing teens really hurts your argument. If I understand correctly, the libertarian argument is about how they should be free to pursue these relationships now, but my objection is to the argument that enjoying fictional representation of teenagers as sexual beings is a moral failing, or at the very least, that it makes you an abuser. Schmeichy posted:Why does the thirty year old actor have to be a teen. Why are teens our ideal form of desire Is it the ideal form? It's clearly a very popular one, although media skews towards a young (mostly male) audience anyway. In the movie it does double duty as a financial decision in order to appeal to the core audience, but is also hamfisted/self-defeating commentary on hollywood exploitation of young women. thotsky has issued a correction as of 18:41 on Jul 19, 2020 |

It's gonna turn out to be some kind of coordinated psyop or PR experiment. I just don't think it is very likely old-rear end desk-jockeys are spending their time on anime message boards. Some young chud analyst told Bannon, Gorka or someone like them to send a box of those mugs to every precinct in the city or some such.
