Are you OK with fashion ads of people actually having sex with genitals pixellated - Maybe NSFW

Re the article link below. Would you be OK with your kid thumbing through a magazine at the orthodontist’s office and they page across these ads? I’m not too exercised about it, but weirdly the pixellation almost makes them more transgressive and more potently sexual than a straight up photo of the act. The pics are very nicely done.

No nudity but there are huge chunky pixels where the nudity was

Ekhaus Latta’s Latest Ad Campaign Shows People Really Doin’ It it’s pretty much (from a lyman’s view) stylish, pretty people porn stills where the genitals are pixellated.

“Our clothes are so terrible people can’t wait to tear them off!” That’ll work.

But well they are still wearing them in the pictures. And it seems to me that “If you wear our clothes, someone will want to tear them off you because they want to sex you” isn’t such a terrible sales pitch.

I was being a little facetious. But still, it’s hard to tell what the clothes look like, which I’d think would be what the consumer would want. And people want to have sex with the models because they are young and attractive. They could be wearing a ratty t shirt and jeans from Target and people would still want to have sex with them.

I’m not “okay” with anything in the fashion industry.

I find it in bad taste. But it’s April 1st; let’s see if this concept is still there in a few days.

I wonder where they got that idea?

It may or may not be a April Fools joke but it is a legit fashion house

As a side note, pretty much every kid born since, what, 1985? 1990? with access to the internet has probably seen hardcore porn many times in their childhood. Even if they didn’t intentionally click any links, there are all kinds of porn spammers on some scammy websites, porn spam emails, and some message boards - including the largest one in the world, reddit - routinely have pornographic content.

So if it causes damage, it’s already done. (I don’t know enough about the subject matter to comment, other than to say that for probably most of the history of humanity, people lived in small groups where there was little privacy)

They’ve been beaten to it. Way back in 2007 there was a thread here about a French company called Shai Clothing using a hardcore clip to sell its clothes.

There’s so little showing, I don’t find anything to be offended or bothered by. A typical beach picture shows a lot more flesh.

It’s cute and a little edgy, pushing at the boundaries…which is fine with me.
