I really enjoyed the corruption angle, and the seduction of power.

spoilerSorry, it's something much less related to the images than that.

spoilerAbsolutely correct!

It's Skol beer, from Brazil.

The lefthand text says "If the guy who invented the changing room drank Skol, it wouldn't be like this." The right says "It would be like this."

After years of criticism for this kind of ad, they commissioned some women artists to cover up one of their old images:

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Sorry you didn't like the Roland Barthes joke. My intent is not to seriously promote misogyny.

Sometimes we eroticize things we fear or hate or otherwise consider evil or disgusting, like feeling pain or inflicting it. This is just kink for me. I posted this on a dedicated NSFW server in a community dedicated to that kind of kink.

The person who created the image also did not intend it to promote misogyny or kink, but to educate people about feminism (hence the quote from an ordinary journal article).

Or this, much more current example, from a much lesser director

I didn't actually put this picture together. I just found it online. I have watched the show and am aware that it is not a celebration of chauvinism or a glorification of the era it represents (but perhaps you know the quote attributed to Truffaut that "there is no such thing as an anti-war movie"). This shot, though, besides being beautifully composed, is clearly a literal depiction of the Male Gaze.

The quoted text comes, not from some incel manifesto, but from a fairly standard social psychology journal article on gender in marketing (coincidentally, or not, a subject of the show): https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1349954

I reserve the right to take things out of context regardless of authorial intent, because Roland Barthes said I could. But here, for your enjoyment, is a more unironic example, from a director who was a huge influence on Mad Men, but not feminist.

University. They are wearing sorority letters.

She calls herself a bimbo on social media and posts her pics to bimbo-themed subreddits.

That said, I have successfully posted animated GIFs on here too, again, just doing it the same way as any other image. But while the webp shows the whole animation as soon as I see it in my feed, the GIF only shows animation when you click on it.

TBH I'm a total newbie when it comes to this platform. All I can say for sure is that it's worth a try.

I just posted it like any other image file. It's not a GIF, though, it's a webp image. They tend to have a smaller filesize
