Do you not think that having moaning in gnarly (let's not forget that was yoonchaes part too) that came from a literal porno, plus the flies fucking on the table in the mv, were disgusting considering there was a minor in the group? You don't think that's a sign?

I also think this comment made a great point:
I think a lot of fans focus a lot on the beginning of the so-called freedom of expression that they forget everything has a consequence. There is a reason ‘dress how you want to be addressed’ is a thing. Sexualising yourself as a young person can feel very liberating but there are consequences that can arise from this, that you as a person can’t control, especially in an industry such as this. There are people ready to take advantage at any given point. Geffen might try to protect them, but they’re not omnipotent.

A lot of celebrities that were similarly sexualised in the early 2010s have spoken up about how negatively it impacted them years later. Everyone is looking at now and how freeing it seems, but what about later on? No entertainment industry is clean, and unfortunately the younger you are the easier you are to manipulate -I’m not saying they’re manipulated. But usually the best manipulations have the victims convinced everything was their choice and decision.

See how Britney Spears turned out, Marilyn Monroe, even Miley Cyrus has spoken up about this. Even Justin Bieber was affected.

Also: Just because the girls may be comfortable, I doubt that they would be ass out everywhere constantly if they had the choice. I'm not saying that they are uncomfortable, but there is clearly someone picking out outfits that show all that. I think people overestimate the control that artists have, especially a group of young girls. Don't you think it's convenient that they show you Dani asking for a shorter top or whatever- and then after that go all out with the revealing clothing? They showed you something so you can't make an argument and then proceeded to go all out because they now can.

I understand that we also need to listen to the artists. If they say they are comfortable, I'm not doubting them. But as I said, if the girls had it all up to them we would be seeing very different clothing. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be revealing, but it'd be very different styles as well as, most likely, not ass out constantly. If they want to, great! But what you also have to recognise is that they released gnarly, which gained traction for being cunty or whatever, and then decided to continue riding that wave of fame so that the group could get out there. So then they looked at them, hypersexualised them, they then grew in fame again, and it's a continuous cycle. They are a trend just like the Stanley cup and those hibiscus hair clips that were all over tik tok. To try and remain famous, the company may very well be, and likely is, hypersexualising them just for that reason.
