re: #66 Coracle

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with both of you. The advert was badly done, but was not meant to advocate abusive sex in any way. Violent sex is not a subset of abusive sex; rather the opposite. Mutually consensual rough sex - which is what is implied in the ad - doesn’t connote or denote abuse of women. The ad fails to make a strong enough differentiation, but it’s obviously not the ad’s intent to claim “women like to be beaten up during sex if it’s the right guy.”

So I agree the ad is ripe to be misinterpreted, but all these “the ad promotes sexual abuse” claims are exactly that: misinterpretations.

I only watched the ad once, but the takeaway that I got was that sex was better because it was more violent. I’m not going to watch the ad again, much less over and over, to get all its nuances.

PETA are asshats.
