Ep. 19 - The Rise of Self-Objectification in the Porn Age | Dr. Caroline Heldman & Benjamin Nolot
The Exodus Cry Podcast
The Representation of Objectification and Hyper-Sexualization in the Culture
The culture reflects objectification and hyper-sexualization through extreme weight loss procedures, surgical augmentation to match filters used on social media, and the rise in sexualization of teens under the guise of empowerment. Mainstream media is normalizing sexualization at young ages, leading to a trend of pornification across various media forms. The influence of social media and streaming platforms, while promoting body positivity and diversity, also contributes to the normalization of harmful standards. The shift in focus towards porn and video games as the primary forms of media consumption highlights the need to address these mediums in discussions about cultural representation.
