screw that man. the one with the hot dog getting squirted with mustard is one of the top avatars on gaf!

I liked the cholo cat one better.

 

[Escape Goat]

Maybe this but this was meant to happen when you have 25-30 years old posing as 16 years old in a tv show. Lea Michele is gorgeous all right and if she want to take part in sexy photo shoots, she can since she's an adult. She probably knows that it's gonna help her career after Glee. The only persons that are insulted are the moms watching this and saying dear god my kid watch that little jailbait and yet she is 20 something.

Yeah, she is an adult and can do whatever she wants. But do you think its okay to sexualize children? Children doing beauty pageants with swimwear rounds? Middle school girls wearing mini skirts and showing cleavage?

The fact she chose to do a risque shoot isn't so much the issue here. Its the material the shoot was grounded in is. And I think thats okay for people to get upset about.

Not gonna lie, had that gif in my arsenal for a long time, lol I look for any excuse to use it.

...uhm, I think no.
Some things to consider
1) These girls ACT as high-schoolers, but they are not under 18
2) It is perfectly fine to act as a high-schooler if you are older than 18, why should not it be?
3) It is hypocricy to assume that the average high school girls are law-abider little flowers, waiting for photoshoots like this to try dressing up more "slutty style". Wake up, people are doing sex, drink /do drugs at age, like it or not. Pointing fingers are a bit late now, especially not to photoshoots.

There are ways to try to solve this problem, but controlling stylistic photoshoots/art is not one of them.

I'm against sexualizing children of course but the thing is that she is not a kid. In the pictures they are there as Lea Michele and Dianna Agron in school girl uniforms. The school girl is a popular male fantasy used in many movies and photo shoots. The main problem is like I said that they pose as 16 years old in Glee while they are much older. They are not there posing as teenagers. GQ is also a men magazine... She propably agreed to do these because she wanted to show she is not a kid, that she is woman. Of course I'm against a real 16 years old doing the same picture.

1) Irrelevant. I didn't say Lea Michele couldn't do risque shoots.

2) What if she chose to dress up like a toddler? Do you really want men sexualizing your 2 year old daughter? At what age is it inappropriate to say "This child can be sexy."

3) You're being disingenuous here and it doesn't hold up. We're talking about sexualizing children, not drinking, drugs or anything else.

 

[Always-honest]

any pics of the blonde?

does anybody else see a pattern in these GQ mags.

they were inspired by GTA4?

 

[∀ Narayan]

^ Heh.

I don't watch Glee, and I never will, but that blonde-haired woman is attractive.

 

[crazy monkey]

her nude sex scene in play was awesome too.

 

[ep85]

thread needs more pics of Quinn. She didn't get any sexy shots.

 

[Slizz]

The tat that the big nose chick has(not hating) that puts her over the top for me. Like the pushup bra is nice but I can't help but think dirty shit once i see that lil moon down there(and those long ass legs).

So you are somewhat of an hypocrite then? I'm reading the Glee thread and there you posted how ok it would be for two of the dudes to pose for playgirl? So 25-30 years old guys posing as 16 years old in a tv show and then posing for playgirl = fine but 25-30 years old women posing as 16 years old in a tv shown then posing for GQ = OMG bad example for children? In the mind of people they are still going to be associated with childrens since they look young and do a teen show according to your logic.

 

[victreeb3l]

Anyhoo, back to the Lea Michele channel - where it's all Lea, all the time!

yikes. her face is really fucking awkward

What a load of shit. Why lie to yourself to make your argument?

Older people playing young kids in a TV show is not the problem, it wasn't for Power Rangers. Using the fact that said people are old enough to do shoots where they rip their clothes off while impersonating the same high school characters is what people consider wrong.

The photos are about high school girls ripping off their clothes and wanting to be fucked, and the shoot was done by a supposed old perv who has a tendency to sexually harass the models he worked with, have them jerk off his cock, etc., like some regular cheap porn star recruiter, and he's proud of that.

 

[weekend_warrior]

whoa whoa whoa, lets go back to this. wat?

 

[Fuzzy]

I love the guy peeking out in the background.

Hairy arms.

 

[way more]

They're both taken by the same photographer Terry Richardson, he likes sticking things in women's mouths...

Too bad sexual harassment of employees is about all Mr. Richardson's is qualified for. Yo, hipsters, wait two months for American Apparel to go ass up and load up on trapezoidial V-necks.



Also, who the fuck watches Glee? Unless you are a dude who likes showtunes, you know who I'm talkin' bout, you are better off watching The Big Bang Theory.

 

[Medalion]

It's logic like yours that sparks such debates as;

"COD is turning my son into a terrorist, right?"

and

"I like Lazytown... am I going to prison?"

Also, the photographer is a seperate issue from the highschool girls thing... so completly different.

 

[Fuzzy]

:lol

At least she doesn't have sharp knees.

[Kusagari]

I like how just because they are high schoolers(in the show) it's instantly pedophilia. What about 18 year old high schoolers? What about in states where 17 is the legal age? This whole thing is beyond stupid.

More like debates like "Hentai showing young kids having sex is not turning me into a pedophile! It says they are actually over 18 in one of the pages.".

My point remains that while I have nothing against the pictures themselves, it is a cheap attempt at sexualizing kids, and a shoot made by a man who has sexually abused young models numerous times. Due to the later fact alone the guy shouldn't have been hired to do the shoot.

You need to watch more Lucky Star or something. Draw the line from fantasy to fiction dude. If you're in a grey area, you lean towards a dark path my friend.

Deal with it. The photographer was hired. He didn't abuse these models. It's just photography. No abuse. No dodgy models being accused of being underage...

Not really, in the show Lea Michele is impersonating a prude girl that dresses like a grandmother... It's quite easy to see she's not playing her character. And please I can know myself If I'm lying to myself, I don't need you to think about that. Basically by your argument it would be way better if instead she posed for playboy but like in some S&M outfit because it couldn't be identified to her character. People would have whined anyway saying she does the shy, respectable 16 years old girl the show and that it's not ok for her to do these kind of photo shoots. People love to whine about stupid stuff like that. And yet they all let their kids watch those ridiculous reality tv shows and teen shows that are about as worse as teaching how kids should behave.

 

[DefectiveReject]

Like the kids who watch this show are gonna buy this magazine.
And so she's dressed down its not like you wanna fuck a 16 year old. Just a mid 20yr old, dressed in an outfit that shows off her essentials.
Shit dress her the same but in plaid and that ass is still HIGHLY tappable.
Roleplay, fantasy, teasing, provacation whatever way its a shoot aimed at older guys not 12 yr old kids.

My point remains that while I have nothing against the pictures themselves, it is a cheap attempt at sexualizing kids, and a shoot made by a man who has sexually abused young models numerous times. Due to the later fact alone the guy shouldn't have been hired to do the shoot.

Nope to me as a 30yr old married guy, clean living, with a child, its purely sexualising the actress, and if she wants to be seen as sexy, then so be it.
Does she do it in the show? Nope. Would my kid ever see these pics?? Most likely not.
Not everything is as dark and twisted as half the minds in this place.

If he showed up wearing a beanie and a toddler's sailor suit then you would have a point.

The thing, though, is that almost all sexual and pornographic material is somewhat rooted in fantasy. As has been stated, schoolgirl is one of the most common sorts of fetish videos that you can find on any site that features such things.

It A) allows people to relive a time when they were in high school and sexually active, and B) allows people to create a visual approximation of a common fantasy. Like it or not, high school girls ARE past the age of puberty and are looked at in a sexual way by pretty much every male who encounters them, though of course the extent of such fantasies differs from person to person. This sort of thing is simply a filling of a market demand and has no more basis for moral considerations than any other sort of sexual or pornographic material.

If somebody wants to make the argument that such things put pressure on women to live up to a certain sexual aesthetic that is rooted more in fantasy than in the real world, that is a perfectly valid point, but this particular example is no more a culprit than any other piece of material that our culture has produced. If somebody wants to challenge the ethics of the pig-minded photographer, they would be downright righteous in attempting such a thing. If, however, somebody wants to argue that ALL sexualization of high school aged girls is wrong, then they are just arguing against human nature and are asking for people to repress their desires instead of expressing them in a context that is safe and legal.

 

[Koodo]

I'm still shocked that people are drooling over Lea Michele. Are you lot just easily attracted to any woman that poses seductively?

She looks so desperate and basic it hurts.

Dianna Agron is not only more beautiful, but so much more refined and classy.

I think she's hot, but I do agree she comes off as desperate.

And the fact that Dianna Agron wont really ever show anything off just makes me want to see it more.

You said it. at least her knees aren't sharp in that picture. I'd smash her btw. Cute face and great body. If only we could get some more crotch shots of her :[

They're dressed like children. Doesn't matter if its 2 or 16. You're sexualizing someone who is considered, by most laws in America, to be underage.

Why do you think they chose the school girl theme? Because its classy and artsy? They're using the naughty school girl bit because it is taboo. Its skating a very fine line to be sure.

But they're only able to do it in the first place because people have such fantasies; there's a market for it. Like most sexual material, it's playing on a common desire, for no matter how high and moral we get as a society, the truth at the core of most men will be that they look at almost all post-pubescent women, regardless of age, in a sexual way, at least on some level. Better that such things should be out in the open, where people can live out such fantasies in a safe and legal manner, than forcing individuals to repress it.

Also, it DOES matter if it's 2 or 16. Above the age of 13 or so, sexual thoughts come from the fact that breasts, butts, and hips sexually excite the average heterosexual male, while below the age of 13 or so (when the objects of desire are pre-pubescent), any sexual thought occurs as a result of aberrant psychology; we label such individuals as pedophiles, and we treat them differently than your average Joe who checks out the high school girls walking past him.
