Agreed. Don’t separate it. Don’t ban it. Treat it like it’s normal and then, as time passes, it’ll become normalized. Women’s bodies are normal. Let them be normal.

I wish people would be honest about this discussion. It isn’t about morality, it’s about money. There is a lot of money to be made with streaming and those fueling the fire in arguments like this are the ones not getting the money. Our (U.S. at least) society has traditionally used morality as the framework for these…

This feels like yet another one of those easily resolved “If you don’t like it, don’t turn it on” issues.

You go to any swimming pool in the country and you’ll see women in bikinis. Children will be there and will be able to see women in bikinis. This is simply what the swimming pool is. Same with hot tubs, there just aren’t as many hot tubs as there are swimming pools.

THE AV CLUB

Weird how this outrage is not considered Cancel Culture runamok. I’m sure it will be Tucker Carlson main subject tomorrow. /s

Some people:

Nah. This thing probably never gets litigated or anything. Nike doing everything they can to publicly distance themselves from this controversy (that is growing into a political one). No one is going to give a shit about this in a few months.

Those dummies have been wearing New Balance for years anyway.

I get why Nike is within their right to defend their brand, but something tells me the pearl-clutchers and religious boycotters, were never the people camping in front of a shoe store over night, to score a new pair of $300 OFFICIAL Nike’s.

lmao they were probably still mad over the kaeprnick capers

Tell those acquaintances that Lil Nas X played them like a fiddle for free advertising.

Really? Where does the line for that go? Are you allowed to buy building material from a hardware store, build a house and sell it as your own creation?
Or maybe buy paint and use that to create a painting and sell it?

MSCHF hasn’t said this is a Nike product afaik. They’re making a brand new product, obviously they…

Except it’s not illegal to resell products. They aren’t claiming they made these, they aren’t claiming nike didn’t make them, they aren’t pretending they did anything but buy a nike, modify it, and resell it. This would be like Ford suing a shop that bought a new mustang, tuned and modified it, and then resold it. 

I guess there’s enough blood from the sweatshop workers in their shoes already.

I doubt it will “harm” their brand any more than than the whole Kaepernick deal “harmed" it.

has led to brand confusion

Atheists that turn atheism into it’s own dogma where if you disagree that x is the cause of the world’s ills you are wrong and let me explain to you why in the most condescending manner possible.

The areligious population is growing. Would be nice if we could actually build a political voting bloc that could go up against Pence/Noem. But, White atheist dude bros like Bill Maher/Joe Rogan/Dawkins ruined atheism with the misogyny, racism, islamophobia, transphobia and the general assholery.

Dunno about any of my atheist sisters and brothers out here, but shit like this is always hilarious to me. Up until a fanatic like Pence or Noem start pushing laws.
