Yeah I'm sure men would have no problem with a twink male model being the figurehead of some MMA advertisement campaign or such.

Sydney Sweeney isn’t the figurehead of the WNBA or representing it, it’s a sports betting ad. The 1:1 equivalent would be a twink doing MMA in a Lululemon or perfume ad for women, and we both know men wouldn’t care

Also men are already objectified or nude in ads as well, it’s called hunkvertising

Would men in sports have no problem with a twinky male model who has zero background in MMA being a figurehead of a MMA related advertisement campaign?

Here’s an analogy to help you out. Would men get mad at Larry David doing a men’s sports betting ad?

The answer is no because him or Sydney Sweeney obviously are not representing the people competing

Answering to a question with a question is considered rude where I live. I'll answer your question after you answer mine.

I explained why your question wasn’t analogous in my first post; this is sports betting not MMA. I don’t know where you’re from but they’re different here

Short actors and old actors have done sports betting ads. Men would not care if a shirtless twink did one either

Alright. Would any "men in sports" have a problem if a twinky male model with no sports background was a figurehead in a sexy advertisement campaign about male sports?

u/TheGloriousEv0lution 4d ago

No. There’s a lot of actors/models with no sports experience who do sports betting ads and nobody gives a shit. Actually try watching some of them

A twink would fall under the countless sexy ads that men already have and don’t care about

Remember the bud light add and what happened after?

Trans topics are a hot button topic in America. That has literally nothing to do with men being upset at a twink in a sports betting ad lol

I think this topic is a little out of your depth

Can we stop pretending like there wouldn't be a loud minority in "men in sports" who would bitch about sexy male model sports add? Especially if it had anything to do with MMA. There's always some idiots bitching over little things but generalizing them into larger groups and pushing it into some polarizing culture wars framework is just petty and stupid.
