1/ Just because some females have made such videos, doesn't excuse such behaviour. They might have made them to get more ad revenue, for example, or have a minority view not shared by most other women/girls. They might even be a parody of similar videos. Money makes many of us do things we otherwise wouldn't and this has been widely discussed in relation to the objectification of women. Just because "some" women are happy to be objectified, doesn't mean all of them are. Also, how do we know all of the videos by "women" are made by actual women at YouTube?
Regardless, even if I myself might like such videos (Although I cannot tell as I've not watched them), if they are anything like you've suggested, then I wouldn't be sharing them publicly here. We need to be more inclusive, right?
2/ The
"if you don't like it, then leave" argument is not really relevant here. These figures (arguably), IMO at least, aren't to the same degree of objectification as, say, "Kiss Players", which is why I engaged with this thread. They seem, at least to me, to be more cute than overly sexy to me (Although Megatron is pushing it a bit). Many others here have also been able to discuss the figures (including the dimensions of certain body parts) without resorting to language that could (hopefully) not be misconstrued as that of a hormone-raging 13 year-old boy.
Also, even if anyone here DID have any problems with something at the site (be it content, comments, etc), I believe it's their right to enter a related thread and post their views on the matter.
Again, for the record, my post here isn't to criticise the figures, nor even to complain about the discussion of the physical dimensions of them. I would just like to give a friendly reminder to avoid language that might give the impression that the sexual objectification of women was "ok" at Seibertron (which I don't think it is).
Also:
Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but:
-
Inappropriate content is not allowed
...Specifically, content of a sexual or sensitive nature will not be allowed...if you wouldn’t want a child to see the content, or if you would be embarrassed to view the page in front of colleagues, then it’s probably not family-safe.

However, perhaps I've been wrong in my inference of any of the language used above? If so, then I apologise for getting the wrong end of the stick.
