This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
On the contrary, I’m specifically Noticing that for a wide variety of audiences (ranging from everyone, to their friends, to their boyfriends/husbands, to just themselves) and in a wide variety of settings (ranging from their performances, to their professional photoshoots, to their social media photos, to private and public photos with their friends, to their private selfies) such popstars love being sex objects in a way that is inconsistent with excuses such as that they’re only being coerced or putting on a persona, as I explained in the previous comment.
The diversity of audiences in front of and settings in which popstars sexualize themselves quickly starts sounding like a Dr. Seuss poem:
These popstars love being sex objects on stage or in a cage,
Wearing nylon or with a python,
In their homes or through their phones,
While on tours or on all fours,
Behind a closed door, sometimes even while licking the floor.
Yes, I didn't link it, but there’s a Miley Cyrus selfie (unsure if it was Fappening-related) out there of her topless, face down ass up, licking the floor.
In addition to Cyrus, at least Britney Spears and Taylor Swift also have performances/music videos where they're encaged. It's like a female kink or something; it'd be consistent with how many chicks love getting tied-up/handcuffed in bed.
My comment wasn’t evaluating whether or not these pop stars are loose hussies (given hoeflation, the bar for inflation-adjusted loose hussy may be quite high), but discussing the “simplest and most parsimonious explanation” for why pop stars sexualize themselves. In the example of the burglar stumbling upon a wife in lingerie, if she were an entertainer she or anyone else would have little grounds—in light of the burglar’s discovery (if it weren't already the case before)—to claim that she only sexualizes herself on stage for performance or marketing reasons, or because she’s forced to by a sleazy manager. Thus pointing to “because she enjoys it” as to the parsimonious explanation for why she sexualizes herself both for everyone in public and for her husband in private.
Even if as a hypothetical we accept that these popstars’ sexual selfies are only for intimate partners, we can use Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande as examples. Selena Gomez’s such photos would have possibly “only” been for at least Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Orlando Bloom, Justin Bieber, Zedd, Niall Horan, Samuel Krost, Charlie Puth, The Weeknd, Andrea Iervolino, Drew Taggart, Benny Blanco. Ariana Grande’s such photos would have possibly “only” been for at least Graham Phillips, Jai Brooks, Nathan Sykes, Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, Mac Miller, Pete Davidson, Mikey Foster, Dalton Gomez, Ethan Slater. Some of Ariana’s men may have even been single when she started bouncing up and down on them (not even rich, famous popstars are immune to female mate-choice copying).
And then there's the non-Fappening, professional and personal photoshoots of Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears intended for the public. So overall, considering audience again and considering additional qualification and context actually makes them sound less Wonderful from both a loose hussy and sexualization-exclusivity perspective, and reinforces "because they enjoy it" as the best explanation behind why they sexualize themselves.
If one doesn’t find the first article sufficient, I also provided other examples elsewhere in this thread, including one where Winter says “as women in the industry, we are totally over sexualized and treated like objects,” one where she blames Trump for women getting objectified, a quote from Grande that popped up along the way, and some quotes from Winter-ally/enemy/frenemy Chloe Moretz. And to the extent the first article above is continuous with the second, it would only further support @Botond173’s point I was first responding to, that:
