I don’t know. Not me, alas.

PAINTING

This is a real photo of real people. The people have had lots of work done, and the photo itself is undoubtedly retouched and edited, but it’s not the product of AI. One of the people is @magdalenakeskic on TikTok, @lenakeskic on IG.

Another used car ad with practically the same premise.

This is a real ad from 2008.

Sorry you didn’t like the Roland Barthes joke. My intent is not to seriously promote misogyny.

Sometimes we eroticize things we fear or hate or otherwise consider evil or disgusting, like feeling pain or inflicting it. This is just kink for me. I posted this on a dedicated NSFW server in a community dedicated to that kind of kink.

The person who created the image also did not intend it to promote misogyny or kink, but to educate people about feminism (hence the quote from an ordinary journal article).

Or this, much more current example, from a much lesser director

I didn’t actually put this picture together. I just found it online. I have watched the show and am aware that it is not a celebration of chauvinism or a glorification of the era it represents (but perhaps you know the quote attributed to Truffaut that “there is no such thing as an anti-war movie”). This shot, though, besides being beautifully composed, is clearly a literal depiction of the Male Gaze.

The quoted text comes, not from some incel manifesto, but from a fairly standard social psychology journal article on gender in marketing (coincidentally, or not, a subject of the show): https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1349954

I reserve the right to take things out of context regardless of authorial intent, because Roland Barthes said I could. But here, for your enjoyment, is a more unironic example, from a director who was a huge influence on Mad Men, but not feminist.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in the US alone pay an average of around $7000 apiece for fake boobs. Getting them for the price of an old digital camera would actually be a hell of a deal.

Feel free to post pics like that if you have them (disclaimer: I am not a mod).

It’s French. The French in particular are likely to interpret objections to ads like this as mere Anglo-Saxon prudishness.

Unfortunately, I was not present at the photo shoot. It looks to me like she is holding that pose, though.
