    The number of people, mostly women, getting outraged about Sydney Sweeney right now shows this very much still happens.

      And now I have to go Google what you are talking about, making you that guy 😜

      Edit: So you don’t have to Google it: some apparently famous woman appears in an ad for a company without morals who profits off of exploiting addiction and ignorance, and she is almost entirely nude in most of the ads

        That will stop people from looking it up.

          Dunno why though. The internet is full of actual porn, why bother going to look for some g rated pseudo porn that’s actually just an ad?

            In the same vain, most tits look very similar, so if you saw like 10 different pairs, you get the gist of it and you wouldn’t be surprised by new ones. Yet, for some reason, people keep looking at photos of bare chested women all the time, over and over again.

        For those who need slightly more info to not Google it, some actress reached out to some sports betting site (edit:shoe company) and spearheaded an ad that is basically a sports illustrated “body issue” where she puts on some gear or holds some sportsball or stick in front of the naughty bits. The whole controversy is about the sexualization of women on sports (obviously)

        Tap for spoiler

        That’s my 2 minute analysis while on my morning walk, so take it with a container of salt

      The amount of right wing men who pretend that a big number of women is outraged about her is way, way larger. To the point that I can safely call it astroturfed campaign.
