    You cannot even tell from the thumbnail if she has substantial breasts anyways. She could be a mastectomy patient for all you can tell from the image. You assuming this is sexual is way more objectifying than anyone clicking the attractive woman video because attractive woman. You are imposing your personal sexualized assumptions about her because she has a little midriff showing. Midriff is not inherently sexual. If it is sexual to you, that’s a signal that you may be objectifying her.

      Yeah, I figured someone would make this bad assumption. There are more thumbnails than just the one in this thread and wouldn’t you know, every shirt she owns shows her belly.

      I said I wasn’t slut shaming and I meant it, but she is obviously trying to look sexy, and that’s absolutely fine. There are plenty of guys with great builds wearing tank tops in YouTube thumbnails as well. I don’t blame any of them, and I’d do the same.

      Also,there is a difference between making “sexualized assumptions” about someone, and noticing that they are dressed in a sexy way. I’ve personally spent a lot of time on nudist beaches and I don’t even think complete nudity is “inherently sexual”, nevermind a midriff. That doesn’t change that she is obviously accentuating her sexual appeal for these videos. That’s not inherently a bad thing, but it’s there.

        Hard disagree for me.
        There are tons of ways she could upsell her videos and this shirt is not one of them. It’s a pretty regular shirt any woman can wear. Thinking she’s trying to look sexy for the videos is making assumptions that she shouldn’t be wearing that on camera and she should be more prude, because otherwise she’s just “using” her appearances to gain viewership.

        This is not twitch’s jacuzzi streams, just a normal woman presenting a video.

        Edit: just to add, I’m not saying you specifically are of this optic, but generally the 2-brain-celled incels will latch on to these points and go on to make the most toxic comment you’ll ever see. Then we wonder why there are so few women on YT or in tech in general.

              I did. You found a pigeon hole and stuck me in it. Then you realized I didn’t fit, but you sooo badly wanted to say that shit that you slapped a disclaimer on the end that makes the whole thing pointless.

              There is not a damn thing wrong with trying to look sexy on YouTube. I made that perfectly clear, several times in fact because I knew there would be people looking for this stupid fight.
