Yeah and to be completely honest, I was only going to stop posting out of respect for you and not wanting to do any more feather ruffling.
I appreciate that a lot, actually. I know you could go on forever.
But I like the fact that while you stand your ground you usually seem to stay calm and use non-inflammatory wording.
I think intentionally and openly insulting insulting an entire group of women on this forum by trying to argue that they are "classless" isn't calm and non-inflammatory. He could've opted to argue that shows like that are disrespectful, problematic, or not sexy
to him. But instead, he belligerently stuck to a fallacy-mounted conclusion that the models who do library shows- as PEOPLE, not the shows we're doing- are not "classy," and desperately doing anything for money. These are character judgments, and entirely personal, arbitrary ones at that. He doesn't seem to understand that his position isn't objective, that his assessment isn't universal, or that simply repeating his point over and over without any reasoning does not an argument make. So it is very hurtful to me that you are congratulating him for his attitude while he rudely debases a big chunk of your fellow models.
Gonna need some better excuses to justify poor behavior because anyone who does this is wildly disrespectful and classless.
YOU accused an entire group of women of being decidedly lesser than everyone else. YOU'RE doing the slut-shaming, which means the burden of proof is on you and YOU need to justify your position; not the other way around. This is rhetoric 101.
The part that upsets me the most about this is that you don't seem to understand that your particular distaste for library shows could literally be replaced with any other kind of show- anal, girl/girl, etc. I've encountered people who are fine with MFC in theory but show incredible disdain toward the women who do those sorts of shows, acting as though there is something morally different about them that makes them unacceptable. It's ridiculous.
Of course, showing other people on cam, revealing yourself to unwilling participants (ESPECIALLY children), harming property that's not yours, and/or disrupting the public space of others IS disrespectful. But I do library shows, and I never do any of those things. EVER. And as Lolli mentioned, I am able to position myself such that I know I never will. This is my point. Those kinds of shows are disrespectful, sure- but extrapolating that into some universal statement about all library shows, and, moreover, the character of women who do them, is very ignorant and extremely unfair.
