Clearly not, for the simple fact that they do it anyway. It works, else you wouldn't see it in ads.
- prionassembly 6y agoThis is what Slavoj Zizek terms the "cynical function of ideology". People can know the ruse and enjoy it anyway. No one goes to e.g. striptease joints expecting complete sexual gratification.

- AnHonestComment 6y agoYou switched a critical aspect on your analogy, replacing a push-mechanism (ads) with a poll-mechanism (strip club). People voluntarily enjoy sex, but forced orgasms during rape are deeply traumatic. The aspect of the example you switched is key to why advertising is problematic — and your referenced argument doesn’t apply here, due to that difference in consent.
