MFC is an entertainment site for adults. I don't think it's her job to make sure every goober in her room understands the idea of satire. She's an entertainer not a politician or a nursery school teacher. As long as she's not breaking rules, there's not too much to say. For the record, men have been dressing up as women, acting silly and calling it comedy for centuries. If we can put up with it and learn to laugh, I think everyone else will survive too.
For the record, I agree, but as someone earlier pointed out - what if she was in blackface? Where is the line drawn? Is blackface etc only more racially offensive because its history, and repugnance toward it, are bound up in the dominant culture watching MFC?
I mean if that's what we're arguing here - that racial stereotypes are funny - then it MUST be okay to satirise everyone, right?

THIS!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Olivia is NOT a school teacher, politician, or any kind of postion where she would need to be a "role model" to the "
general public". Therefore, as long as she does not break any MFC rules, there are no lines to be drawn. Actually, there are...but they are up to her (and only her) to draw them, because she (and only she) will have to suffer the consequences. If her tippers feel she has gone over "the line", they will vote with their wallets. There is a very, very good reason why MFC has the "next" button.
Keep arguing all you want, the way I see it, two people benefit. Jupiter, you're one. Everyone here knows how you like to make mountains out of mole hills. So, keep on keeping on! Olivia is the other. With over 1600 page views and 80 posts to this thread, I bet she's loving this (if she knows about ACF).
Let's keep a little bit of perspective here. For instance, we're not debating the extension of the
Voter's Rights Act or anything that important. This is one model out of thousands on a hugely popular website. And these are shows that a majority of commentators admittedly have not seen. I highly doubt she is advocating racial intollerance, and in the large scheme of things, she is not even a drop in the bucket. She draws large crowds, that's a fact. But there are probably tens of thousands of MFC members that don't know about her, or don't care.
There are always going to be people complaining, no matter what the models do (or don't do). OMG, she does public shows! OMG, she
doesn't do public shows! And so on...
Solution? Save your tokens (or time, if you're a freeloader) for a model you actually want to see, because what she is doing is not the end of the world.
Or keep arguing over nothing :mrgreen:
