I guess, but everyone does their jobs to further themselves. They may think that it’s degrading, but I think taking calls or working customer service is about fifty times more degrading but us commoners do it because we don’t want to starve to death.
Just because you don’t think it’s potentially degrading and objectifying doesn’t mean it isn’t. And agin you’re implying all actors aren’t “commoners” which is fucking ridiculous.
There are common actors but they still have a better job than most people. Pretending to be happy in order to please customers or being nice to mean people and just praying to get tipped is so fucking degrading that it makes me sick. Do I have to be offended by restaurants and stores and places like that? No. Is anyone else offended on their behalf. Not really. I think this nudity issue is less degrading than what most people are subjected to in their jobs but for some reason this one is supposed to be more exciting and more outrageous than others, but I’m not buying it.
Most actors go months without work and are forced to do the exact kind of jobs you mention.
When it comes to nudity being degrading, I feel like we’ve drifted from the point here. The issue is objectification. Art has an impact on the mindsets of people who consume it. Women are often objectified in media via nudity. Whether that objectification is made by a man or woman doesn’t matter. The fact that women “agree” to do nude scenes does not absolve those scenes of any objectification, because that’s not how that fucking works.
