But why would all advertisers refrain from putting ads next to lectures, even if some imagery is a little risqué? That some advertisers would not like it, sure, but all of them?
- SpicyLemonZest 4y agoIn the US, mainstream culture considers pornography to be totally beyond the pale and no company that isn't itself selling sex would allow its brand to be associated with porn.
- bambax 4y agoDiscussing nude imagery in an academic setting doesn't have much to do with "pornography". To the credit of YT, they host plenty of nude videos that aren't, somehow, "porn" (search for "Brazilian wax" for instance...) So much so that one begins to wonder if the problem with Cornell and such may stem more from the political message than the imagery itself.
- SpicyLemonZest 4y agoThis particular lecture series, focused on the erotica magazine On Our Backs (with a mandate to "deliver sexual content" in the lecturer's words) and presented by one of the early editors of that magazine, has quite a bit to do with pornography. That doesn't make it non-academic, but it's not some kind of abstract analysis at a distance either.
