Why do video producers only mention the model's race when she is not White?

[method11236]

Her being a mother means everything to me.

ah yes, you are right, i don't know where i was going with that i guess bc i guess i kinda care too lol.. to a certain extent lol.. i don't care about her being a milf but u are right, there are people that do lol.. i just don't know why her being a mother would make her any hotter to a person, she'd be the same hottness 😛

Once you tell me that Amy is a 42 year old mother of 2 who likes to play netball in her spare time, you have given me the world. I now have intimate details about this person's life and it puts her in context as real human being, not just a ticklish pile of flesh.

I don't just want ticklish piles of flesh. I want real people with real lives. Her MILF status is not inherently hot, its knowing about her life. If you told me she was studying biology, likes Mexican food, drove all the way from Tuscan to do the video shoot, was in a sorority or volunteered at a soup kitchen then you have done a lot for me as a consumer of tickling media.

Why do you think video producers go out of their way to differentiate models with caricatures of their personalities? Goth girl tickled, preppy girl tickled, pro model tickled. This is done to differentiate between the endless supply of ticklish girls on the market... but it's not enough anymore.

We now exist in an age where I have almost unlimited choice in deciding what to click and what to purchase. Years ago, just having sexy chicks was enough. Then, creating vague images of the girls did it. Now, we have reached a point of such overwhelming market saturation of media and producers that in order to differentiate from one another, I am going to start needing more complete profiles of the models.

What gets me to click on something? Reach for the credit card?
It's not the sample clip of a woman screaming her head off. Its the few keywords in the description: conservative, mother, sorority girl, animal lover. Combine enough of those in the right way and if some of them appeal to my particular sexuality (I'll discuss this construct in another post) and you are TRUTHFUL (because I will know if you are lying) then I will buy your clip.

I gotta ask: is there any explanation that could be given that wouldn't turn into a "that's racist!" argument?

Bella, I am really glad you pose this question. I think about this often.

Scenario 1) I choose to hire Jim instead of Steve because Jim is white and Steve is black.

This, I think we can all agree, is racist.

Scenario 2) I choose to flirt with Samantha at the party and not Jessica because Samantha is white and Jessica is black.

Is this racist?

Well, some might say that in scenario 2, I made a decision on the basis of race, and thus my decision to flirt with the white girl is racist. I however, would not be so quick to make this assertion. My distinction between the two scenarios is that you choose who you employ based on rational observations of evidence. If you ignore this evidence and make a decision on the basis of race, a poor predictor of workplace performance, you are racist.

But, in scenario 2, we are talking about sexual attraction. And, I firmly believe, you do not get to decide rationally to whom you are sexually attracted. Because of this human condition, I will never hold anyone in contempt for being sexually attracted to a person because of their race or vice versa.

That said, this issue is steeped in social stigmas depending on how we structure the scenarios. Some are palatable; others less so. I also think our motivations matter. I am undecided as to where I draw the line. I like to think of sexual preference as a holy shrine for which a person can never be judged, but some scenarios trouble me.

Earl, who is white, just thinks Asian girls are exceptionally pretty for reasons he can't really explain. He does not feel this way about black girls.

Larry, thinks of Asian girls as a submissive and is attracted to them sexually. Joe thinks black girls are loud and opinionated and is not attracted to them. Joe is attracted to Asian girls for these projected stereotypical qualities but would never actually marry one as his dating pool is limited to his default people, whites.

Here we have two guys who have the same sexual preferences but have different motivations. Is their sexuality a shrine that I cannot judge? I'd like it to be, but honestly, I'd call Larry racist (Earl is not racist).

At a certain level your sexuality can be racist, in my opinion.

My original post was intended to question whether or not video producers make a person's race a commodity to be marketed? Have they ever really thought about the consequences of this? I don't think that the producers who do this are racist or bad people. But they don't necessarily think long and hard about every word they use and every decision they make when creating a video and its marketing materials. They don't think about the overall impact of calling every Asian lee "Jade" and using Asian as the first word to describe her. If we do this, then the video clips section becomes a supermarket with shelves of women identified first and foremost by their race. As you can see in my last post, I think it's much more relevant to know if she likes volleyball.

 

[rhiannon]

Very good post! I totally agree.

 

[sirseaspraysr]

Volleyball? OK

REALLY? You're more interested if they play volleyball?

The point is that a producer needs to differentiate his product from the rest and has very limited space available in which to do so. He must choose descriptions that have as many mental associations, good or bad, attached to them as possible. This allows dedicated purchasers of that subject to instantly zero in on them. If the producer were in Africa, catering to a largely Black audience and using Black models, you can be sure that "White" models would be prominantly identified.

There are far more dedicated "Race" purchasers than "Volleyball" purchasers. I'm sorry if this applies to you, but you might be the only one.

I dont see anything rascist in it , Its just a fact of life that we tend to highlight that which is unusual or in the minoriy and as far a s I can tell the majority of models are white. If you go into a resturaunt how often do see dishes labeled as " suitable for carnivores"

Blast from the past.... LET THREADS DIE PEACEFULLY.

Hahaha seriously tho, deff not racist. Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnn, dude. You know it. Don't stir the pot.

Guess what? Black people are black.... like Korean people are Korean. We're apparently "past" race in today's age (I disagree, but that's another story) so it's not that big of a deal to call "Robert" "Black Robert" if it truly is a distinguishing feature of comparison... I've been referenced as "White Jonathan" before by people of different races when distinguishing me from another Jonathan.

It's all gravy, baby,

Can we control what gets us off? If we really are interested in seeing an Asian girl or Black girl or Latina girl get tickled in a sexual way, just because of their race, is our sexuality racist? Is this wrong?

From an episode of Family Guy:

Lois: I've never been more attracted to [Peter]. Oh, does that make me a bad person?
Brian: Yes, yes it does make you a bad person!

I was going to make a video featuring this young lady:

I wasn't sure if I should label it as "Mutant from Mars first time tickle", or "Lots of boobs!" I didn't want to bring race into it 🙂

 

[Sunriseticklee]

Not racist- Just a descriptor.

It's never really bothered. What has bothered me is the fact that some people assume (and state) the lighter you are, the more ticklish you are. That is MUCH more offensive.

But, again- I dont have an issue with it. I'd rather they mention male nudity or vibs in the title so I can skip over it completely. 😀

You could have the first Martian model!!

Objectionable racism is the act of using fallacious logic in arriving at conclusions about people because of their race.

"This Caucasian girl is tickled," "Asian guy tied to a bed," and "South American woman tickles victim" are purely descriptive, and the finer points of whether and which particular terms are used is fine.

Things like "our ticklee is African-American, so they're especially intelligent" or "because he's a native Hawaiian, this victim is particularly insightful about the ticklee" are the kinds of statements to be criticized. They might be intelligent or insightful, but there's probably no serious reason to think that it's specifically because of their ancestry.

Guess what? Black people are black.... like Korean people are Korean.

Ok... so not PC but made me LOL Literally.

Won't hijack the thread about Korean ethnicities, nationalities, and just words that are colors.

Giggle- But I agree with your point.

This is why I love TMF (of course, it was why I hated TMF about 8 years ago.)

I love the four boobies! Total Recall was a good movie.


What were we talking about again? The four nipples have forced me to lose my focus.
