Re: Game of Thrones Nudity Thing

[ariakas]

People repeat "sex sells" ad nauseum, but the top-rated TV events are things like the World Cup, the top-selling game franchises have no sex in them whatsoever (Mario, CoD, Tetris, Pokemon, etc.), and the ten top-grossing films of all time barely even have boob (Gone With The Wind, Titanic, The Sound of Music, etc.). Is that catechism actually true, or is it just something people say that has no basis in reality whatsoever, because it seems truth-y?

In regards to advertising, yes (at least for men).

Re: Game of Thrones Nudity Thing

[ariakas]

Are there actually studies that demonstrate this, or is this just "common wisdom" in the advertising business, though? Car commercials, for example, moved away from sex aeons ago and started emphasizing "freedom" and construction aesthetics, to the point that they're even starting to remove "booth babes" from vehicle exhibitions and replace them with "aspirational" classy-looking men in suits. And that's one of the most male-driven markets out there.

Re: Game of Thrones Nudity Thing

I think that myth is actually debunked - IIRC there were studies that showed that most people were able to remember the naked skin in the commercials but completely missed the product the commercial was for over all the "NEKKID" their brains were focusing on.

Re: Game of Thrones Nudity Thing

[ariakas]

Yeah I seem to recall something like that too, which is why I asked. Anon seemed pretty sure, so I figured they might know off-hand. I'm honestly not sure than in this day and age of All The Titties You Could Ever Want At Your Fingertips that AGoT would be even marginally less successful without random boobs.

Re: Game of Thrones Nudity Thing

[fishnchips]

Yes, AGoT basically seems like a soft porn series with a big budget and I'm not sure that all of the tits and the fucking is necessary at all.

I think the correct phrase would be "sex sells things that don't have any other worthwhile qualities".
