if you had to state something, probably over-bearing, over-nurturing mothers. but i highly doubt anyone would say that is the sole factor. it’s a combination of many things. even just being small or less masculine than peers can contribute. heck, being a completely normal person who is just a late bloomer can do it.
what they did was clearly terrible, but at the same time, this is what happens when you make the age of consent for this stuff 18. you could make the exact same argument about military service, they use all the same tactics. I hope they win and get some money and a piece of their dignity back, but what’s done is done. raise your kids right, and don’t normalize objectification of women, teach your daughters to be strong, and they’ll never have to respond to a sketchy ad about “modeling” in the back of some city rag.
well, at least they paid you back for it. that’s actually quite respectable of them. and if they didn’t, it would have been a class action lawsuit, so kind of a moot point all around. You got your money back. I recommend using it to obtain several tiers of backup hard drives and make sure you have two physical copies of every piece of media you feel is not replaceable. Because some day, you won’t be able to replace it. the corporate dream is nobody owns anything, you just have to jack into their “stream” and consume whatever they feed you. the funniest thing is, people are already getting a head start on that dystopian future. they’re doing it to themselves, by actually paying for shitty streaming services. You really shouldn’t do that, as it only emboldens them.
“it would likely have a stable government in Hamas”
…re-read that to yourself a few times.
