Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

There are plenty of reasonable comments. Most have more upvotes than the sexualizing ones. That said, look closely at what she is wearing in the pic. If she put shorts on, the sides of that thing would still be above the shorts. The image was designed to have sexual appeal. She is showing more skin than most people have. So of course some people are going to go in that direction. Men in general haven't evolved enough not to.

With an image designed to have sexual appeal, is it wrong to see the sexual appeal?

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope, never said it was. I was saying that with such an image, one should expect sexualized comments.

I am sorry if I misunderstood you. Would you mind explaining the line about evolving? It seemed to imply to me that there is a possible (better?) future state of things?

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

ah yes. Seeing it is fine. Saying what your thinking... not so much. But I wasn't trying to imply that I am more evolved... I am litterally saying that man (and women really) haven't evolved enough to not think about sex and screwing when we see an image like that. And anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves. Some have been trained or learned not to say what they are thinking, but most are thinking it all the same. I am sure there are exceptions of course.

I said nothing about sex appeal. She's hot, and he's hot but that's not what im talking about

Not sure I said you said anything about sexual appeal.
