Hello! Project Photobooks

[JonCC]

I have been trained to think as a marketeer and understand people's thoughts/behaviour in order to influence them (among other things).

I feel so sorry for you (not sarcasm).

How about you shut your mouth if all you're going to do is not bother replying to what I'm typing and only give these personal insults?

What is it with some people feeling like they're being personally attacked and that they have to talk down on you?

Resop2, thanks for the link. I'll have a look in a minute.

You're the one who said that anyone who doesn't agree with you is living in a bubble and/or pretending to be innocent. I find that pretty insulting. Not quite as insulting as "PEDOPHILE!!!", but close.

Anyhow, we all agree that photobooks are suggestive, so what's your point here? No matter how suggestive a photobook is, how each of us reacts to it is our own responsibility, isn't it? Marketing works only when the audience is not consciously aware of it. It doesn't matter if the arch of a model's back, the angle of the spread of her legs, and the texture and thickness of her panties have all been precisely calculated to reveal just the right amount of camel toe (pardon my French) — I still know that I'm looking at a picture of a young woman's privates, and I must decide for myself what to do about it. Having some marketing wonk go "Ha ha, made ya look!" really doesn't help, and in fact it's likely to earn that wonk a punch in the mouth. (Which is why, frankly, I think JonCC's restraint was rather commendable.)

Wow, are you for real?

He's the one who started by saying that it's all in my head that some of the pictures might imply sex and are suggestive in that nature. It's a response that can apply to anyone who thinks that way.
Then he basically implies that I'm a pervet/pedo.
That's when I responded back by saying that he can live in his own bubble if he thinks it's all so innocent. That's different than anyone who doesn't agree with me lives in their own bubble. Wow. It was personal to him because his response was very dismissive to mine,
And lastly he feels sorry for me because of my profession?

All the while HE DOESN'T BOTHER replying to my replies that I've putten effort to respond to him. Instead he resorts to insults.

Way to cherry pick my reply that I only said in response to his previous replies. I think you can get along fine with him if you feel the need to defend an arsehole who doesn't know how to respond to people politely.

I'm not going to bother explaining my point any further after this.

Y'all need to quit. Dealt with enough people bitching at each other this week, I could've made this post a lot uglier than it probably needs to be.

[Denki]

^thank you!
(Also, your avatar is amazing Moh!)

[Zunu]

Gotdammit, I had a really long-ass response ready.

Fuckin Moh, layin down the law like a boss.

Anyway, there is no denying Sayumi hasn't lost even a jot of beauty. She is incredible.
