I honestly think some of the guys on this forum would be the kinds of "progressives" who would look at their own girlfriend or wife in the morning and go "Ughh, yeah, do you really think that's the kind of thing you should be wearing when you go outside?". When she's wearing a fucking blouse or crop top along with jeans or a skirt.
I literally cannot understand how ironically creepy and regressive some of the guys on this forum can be whilst literally thinking you are being progressive. Why can't you leave people the fuck alone if they're doing nothing wrong? Why can't your brain separate a real example of someone potentially being forced, abused, used and so on from genuine autonomy/agency and someone just having a bit of fun?
Yeah, one can argue beauty privilege may well exist, and some people are hyper-confident and happy to express themselves in public or for attention. But guess what? Who gives a shit? Focus on your own life rather than projecting negativity, ironically hate and also not actually being progressive but regressive. Yeah, self-confidence can be a motherfucker, and it's easy to be jealous or envious. But guess what, we, you or I need to handle those things in productive ways. Get help, try your best, be positive, not unfairly and viciously target other people. This topic has largely literally devolved into still arguing about this one woman and still suggesting because of two fairly ordinary outfits she should crop or remove herself from her own damn content. How can you not see how that sounds like something that would be read on Catholic/incel-central even if you are saying "but we have progressive intent!"
Yeah, we can't all look like supermodels and we don't all get the lucky break with genes. But what you can do is take care of yourself the best you can, grow your confidence and importantly have a damn decent personality. That'll take you far even if you don't look like Miss America, have well-endowed breasts or pack a 9" penis (Era average of course) or whatever. What won't help you is firing off into not being progressive and pointing out real injustices in life and societal issues, but being a moral busybody regressive that beats the wrong people over the head and tries to shame a damn random woman into cropping her own YT thumbnails because YOU have a problem with it. In this case, she clearly doesn't/evidence shows IGN not forcing, it's YOUR problem.
I didn't think I'd wake up to some of what the last few pages brought. Some of you guys are as far from being progressive here as possible. Leave the damn woman alone given the information and evidence that's been provided and move onto better targets. It actually appears like some sort of troll accounts posting utter nonsense to then make Resetera look ridiculous, but that's an easy out, when the reality is some of you, in fact, most of you, probably are genuine. In which case, go away and think about your contributions here, really think about it, and not just continue to sacrifice at the altar of "well, I need to sound progressive on an internet forum so people know I'm a good person". Some of you are not sounding progressive here, minus your generic contributions to saying objectification is a real thing. Yeah, and like 99% of this topic never said otherwise and agrees.
You (as in a few of you) are literally behaving like this with your massive overcorrection, inability to accept evidence I guess outside of a few posts in here moving onto a general discussion of real issues, this could be another example of "extreme wokeness"
"THE GREATER GOOD"
When you think you're being progressive, but you're actually leading what almost looks like a targetted campaign to tell a random woman to know her place/dress more modestly/not have any fun whatsoever with her own agency. I'll finish on it again, is this some sort of extremely religious community I've logged into where we can talk about any tight clothing or clothing not loose enough on a womans body? What about knee length skirts? We better be shooting for those ankle length ones. For the greater good.
