Question about objectification based on above thread.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-15 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of people here seem to be of the opinion that objectification is not the act of viewing someone as sexy, but of being incapable in their own mind as seeing someone as anything other than sexy? like appreciating the body is fine as long as you don't consider the body to be all there is, right? With the criteria for something so destructive exiting only in the mind of the perpetrator, how are we supposed identify someone being vile compared to someone being a normal human? How are we supposed to see one person checking out a hot person and know that they're not evil, then look at another person and identify that special something in their head that makes them evil?

How, in sort, can we know what is objectification and what is normal human stuff?

For example, we all know that comic book fanboys objectify Power Girl, but how can we really know this? How do we know that all they value in her is the tits? I mean we do know this, on an inherent level we know this, but how do we prove this? How do we know we know this? You see what I'm asking? Not sure I'm phrasing it very well...

A character is objectified if the writer keeps trying to frame them as a passive tool with which to fulfill the assumed reader's sexual fantasies. It has nothing to do with readers, and it's not "evil" any more than any other form of lazy writing is "evil." (I say "lazy" rather than "bad" because sometimes folks just want their porn.)

Using Power Girl as an example--do they like her character, or her character and her boob window, or only her boob window? First two, yeah, okay, third, no so much. She's fictional so it's not a huge deal if they admit "only in it for the titties," but if they treat RL women like walking boobs they might be a creep, same as if a straight girl treated guys like walking butts or dicks with nothing else to offer. And if a RL person is creeped out when they catch you staring, apologize and stop.
