An alternate perspective is that she dresses how she wishes, and other people ascribe that sex appeal regardless. The most outrageously attired of a group of similarly skilled people is likely to draw the most fans and detractors, whether that was their intention or not.
- raxxorrax 5y agoOf course appeal is subjective, but I believe she calls herself sexy cyborg. Denying intent is almost as offensive as a denial of existence I believe. Although there can be cases like that.
- SexyCyborg 5y agoBecause if there's anything to judge a person on the basis of, it's Reddit logins they chose when they were 20 and stuck with as they grew in popularity
- giantrobot 5y agoAt least you didn't use your old FoxyAndroid16@lycos.com address, you'd break the prude sensors. /s for anyone wondering, I can only hope someone is still using some dumb Lycos e-mail today.
- Anthony-G 5y agoI don’t know why Naomi’s comment is being downvoted. Another young (at that time) woman, Amanda Knox learned the hard way about being judged on the basis of her online account name: When the tabloid media learned that her Myspace nickname was “Foxy Knoxy”, they spun salacious stories, making her out to be some sort of “femme fatale” who would be capable of murdering her flat-mate, Meredith Kercher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Meredith_Kercher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Meredith_Kercher
- prawn 5y agoQuoting her: "I look the way I do for myself, and I don't object to any one else's polite enjoyment of that." Considering something like body dysmorphia (as an example) might help give someone benefit of doubt. I'm not going to pretend to understand exactly why someone feels that way.
- SexyCyborg 5y ago>Considering something like body dysmorphia (as an example) might help give someone benefit of doubt. I'm not going to pretend to understand exactly why someone feels that way. Yes, it is something like that. But it's bullshit for me to dance around it and expect some sort of grace. I will say something.
- kragen 5y agoI don't think you owe justifications for your body modifications or wardrobe to anybody: not to the police, not to the CPC, not to your parents, not to Google, and certainly not to random people on Twitter competing to see who can be the cruelest.
- elsjaako 5y agoI'm guessing it's a bit of both, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm a white male, so it's relatively easy to convince people to take me seriously. That isn't a great situation, but noone expects me to downplay that to make things more fair. She has a harder time being taken seriously (as evidenced by the MAKE story), but she's attractive which makes her videos more interesting. I don't think you can blame her for using advantages. From what I've seen of her, she does seem to enjoy being dressed nicely, so I don't think she's only doing it to get views.
- ashwagary 5y agoI tend to hold the opinion that a person who doesnt look like "they belong" is among the most likely to have actually earned the right to be there.
