In Reply to: RE: "The 'major label' defense seems more than a bit disingenuous to me" posted by Chris from Lafayette on November 10, 2015 at 13:48:21
With all due respect, I think you miss my point. Perhaps I was not clear. To argue that the major labels use sex to sell CDs is what I meant as disingenuous; the threads here have only been about "babes" but never about men on CD covers. This is certainly because the overwhelming majority of us who post here are men. And still, to scapegoat the record labels because they objectify artists is not much of an excuse, it seems to me. I don't think this is just a matter of pointing out what the labels are doing; we all have eyes. The threads are a relatively constant flow of "babe alert" photos, followed by posts about the relative talent of the musicians. The argument that, in essence, "they all do it so we're just following their lead" is just more obfuscation. I'm not a puritan at all, and that's not the point. This isn't quite like using sexy women to sell cars or cigarettes, but close enough to my mind to qualify as starfucking or kiddie porn:)

Wow!. . . just. . . Wow!So my OP on this thread makes an observation that JJ is looking a bit older on her new booklet cover than her 37 years. And from this, you get kiddie porn?
As I say, Wow!. . . just. . . Wow!

Wow, indeed My comments weren't related to your original post but to your responses in the thread and the general discussion. i presume that you get this.
Yet speaking of which, I have yet to see a thread about a male musician looking older. This is what sensible women seem to object to, and I cant say I blame them. I have had my comeuppance on those grounds...
Although you're doubling down with generalities, it's clear you are hoist with your own petard, and it's also clear that the porn is in your own mind.
I guess that dozens of babe alert posts are not specific enough to point out, so I am the one hoist by my petard? That is pure projection if I have ever seen it. This is hilarious:) Stick with defending Liszt. You're far better at that.
And bt the way, if digging babe photos on CD covers are your thing, go for it! There are worse habits out there....
