so if I were to claim that unicorns are real, it would be okay, so long as I am quoting from a TV show?
it was objectifying a human, reducing her to a series of inputs and outputs, no better than a microwave oven. it would not have been acceptable whether the victim was male or female.
- eliasmacpherson 15y agoI didn't notice but now I realise that you are right. Would changing the article so that it didn't directly quote the show, instead referring to someone theoretical that the reader is attracted to, make it less distasteful? The article could credit the show without going into specifics.
- nzmsv 15y agoI'm not sure if this reference is appropriate at all. Imagine how the article would read if the quote was from a fictional female or gay character on the topic of what type of male they were attracted to. Just one data point, but it would make me wonder why that's there at all and what it adds to the discussion of SSD reliability.
- StavrosK 15y agoI'm sorry, but I genuinely don't understand. It was saying that Stinson would date someone even though she was crazy, as long as she was hot enough. Isn't that what humans do with everything, weigh the pros and the cons? How is it objectifying?
