Objectification is objectification and isn't good for anyone no matter who is doing it; when people objectify themselves, they normalise the objectification of everyone. There is no "owning it". It's not "empowering". Like I said above it doesn't benefit anyone... not those doing it, and not even the porn-sick incels buying it. It does
encourage them and their thinking, though. After all, how can it be wrong to objectify people if people are choosing to objectify themselves by their own free will?
And Niamh is right with the above as well; it's also an illusion of empowerment. A miniscule number make big money... another tiny proportion end up making a passable living from it, and these are held up as reaslitic examples that tempt naive young people into the idustry with the promise of riches and expensive lifestyles.
What most of them end up with is their nudes all over the internet, £500 in their pocket and 3 stalkers.
