The 'Beautiful People' in media, Why does Hollywood/Media still sexualise nearly EVERYTHING.

Thinking the notion of 'sex sells' work today. Yes I know it been happening for decades and centuries but that's my point. Don't they think we have moved on from that or do they still assume we want everything 'sexy'.

"Moving on" is social behavior. Sexuality is not a purely social dynamic we can just change like an attitude. I do believe sexual reactions can be manipulated, to a certain extent.

So it's really about changing what we view as "favorable", to end the manipulation and conditioning. I'd contend that's something that's really never changed since the beginning; as animals we desire and seek certain qualities. In my opinion the beautification of both men and women is how we, as intelligent animals, have evolved to increase these qualities (though, simultaneously I think it can be just as much if not more about the individual).

The Sun or Daily Star editor: "Hey look, let's put a big breast women on the cover of this, so guys will buy it."
Me: "Don't FUCKING insult me. I still wouldn't buy your crap."

Fox News: "okay ladies, wear skirts and dresses to show off those legs so the audience will continue watching."
Me: "Wow, what a way to treat your female employees Fox. You get zero respect from me and everyone else."

Don't be ridiculous with such specific examples, this is a worldwide issue that affects everyone. No one walks outside their home without knowing that other people will judge their appearance. You can't look anywhere without articles and advice for looking more attractive. We're influenced from youth, mostly by our peers.

I work in Hollywood on sets and it is also a passive tendency to portray attractive people because that is who tends to live in the area. What is average looking to a Hollywood producer is gorgeous elsewhere, so even when they try to tone it down, its still attractive. That is what people that live and work around Hollywood are exposed to everywhere out there. It doesn't help that a lot of attractive people from other places in the country will migrate to Hollywood to try to get famous off their looks because where they are from, they were considered incredibly beautiful. But in Hollywood attractive women are a dime a dozen. As a result they often find themselves settling for regular jobs in the area. Consequently even the women who bag a Hollywood producers groceries are stunning compared to average women in the rest of the country. But to the Hollywood producer, that is average looking.
