Do your weird fetishy thing I guess but not around children and not with some kind of "academic" bend that masks how dumb it all is.

I'm also not crazy about people who wear gimp suits or whatever weird or explicit or weirdly explicit outfit in public. They have the right to do so, certainly, but they are violating the preferences of others. It's tough to say whether the satisfaction they get from doing so is outweighed by the discomfort of others. I don't know, it's a tricky issue. I guess I can see both sides of it.

With drawing a picture of Muhammad, people just do that because they're angry at Muslims for killing people who do it. But it's not like the people who draw Muhammad are spray-painting their drawings on the street where lots of bad and good Muslims will see it. To the extent that people actually go out of their way to place their drawings of Muhammad where people who don't want to see it will see it... that's bad. And the same applies to sexuality.

Although I'm not as anti-sex-in-advertising as a lot of other people here, I think.

My opinion is that this "bimbo content" is thinly masked fetish content, and thus equivalent to wearing fetish gear in public. If you are in fetish gear in public, you are involving the people around you in your fetish without their consent. While it's not something that is easy to legislate (how do you encode into law what is and isn't fetish gear?), it's wrong to force people to participate in your exhibitionism or whatever it may be. And it's even more wrong to force children to participate in it, or be in an area where many children will be, such as tiktok.

This seems completely different to me than the muhammad drawing issue, especially as muslim cultures have sexual taboos that seem more comparable.
