It's narcissistic and depraved to sexualize one's self to make money. Some people are so poor all they have is money - Bob Marley.

We are living in VERY vulgar times. The twins contribute it.

very surprising to me that noone else sees how sad this all actually is - and even worse so that children now look up to 'influencers' like this as a model of how to be "successful". Im not necessarily knocking or judging the twins for taking advantage of a depraved society but Im certainly not going to celebrate or defend it either. The only way this makes sense is if you just admit that money and fame matter more than all other values, which is a truly sad sentiment. There are increasingly few people who truly believe that there are things in life that matter more than money and fame, despite how many people claim to.

It is sad on multiple levels. Are these the values we want to elevate and instill in the next generation? I guess it can be argued that they're just makin' bank gaming the system. And they're clever and admirable for that. But at what cost to them, society at large, (arguably going backwards when it comes to females and their rights) and their young female fans?

yeah I really hate that line of thinking - "you cant blame them for trying to get every dollar they can". Yes, actually I can because I dont believe that money is the end all be all. Its also odd because that logic is applied very selectively in our society. Notice, nobody says that when a corporation or CEO or millionaire does something to enrich themselves at the cost of "society". If that were the case, ESG wouldnt exist. We live in a broken society with a depraved culture and we wont fix that without a revival of moral values. But again, thats just how I see it.

Bob Marley also didn't believe in amputations which led to his very premature death at age 36.

Because their vulgarity mocks what is means to be a woman -- for money.

I don't watch sports, never heard of them and couldn't care less about them. Still, they degrade our culture with their vulgarity. It's a form of female sexism.

It's a bit dated (2007) but still relevant.

Then what do you think of Dylan Mulvaney? He's a Cavender with a dick.
