Billboards featuring OnlyFans model ruled ‘not overtly sexual’ by UK advertising watchdog

I've seen worse ads about perfume

It's no different than seeing a Victoria's Secret or Calvin Klein billboard, IMHO.

Not only did the billboard work, but now that news outlets are posting it, with her @ and all, she’s likely getting so much more attention/subs.

Genius.

Is it a good or a bad thing when you're told your onlyfans ad can stay because it's not sexy enough?

Environmental activists Global Witness later took over three of the poster sites and transformed them into ‘OilyFans’ billboards, to comment on the pay package of BP chief executive Bernard Looney, whose earnings went from £4.5 million (€5.2 million) to £10 million (€11.6 million) last year.

Good bit

The only problem with this is the fact that it's an advertisement. At least in the US, you cant drive down a country highway without seeing at least one advertisement for a strip club.

Come to Denmark where we have advertising on busses with full on boobs in full show. It's advertiseing for breast implants btw

Who are these people that pay for pornography?

They consulted Twitch mods and they said it's ok.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Billboards erected in London showing model Eliza Rose Watson in underwear advertising her OnlyFans account page have been cleared by the UK regulator following complaints that they were inappropriate for children to see.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 30 complaints stating that the posters seen in Harrow, Tottenham, Lambeth and Edgware in June and July featured adult content and were inappropriate.

ASA said that although Watson’s clothing was revealing, the image did not feature any nudity, and the pose adopted by her was “no more than mildly sexual."

“While we acknowledged that the image of Ms Watson and reference to OnlyFans might be distasteful to some, we considered that because the ad was not overtly sexual and did not objectify women, we therefore concluded it was unlikely to cause serious or widespread offence.”

The ASA continued: “The ad was shown on several posters throughout London, which was an untargeted medium, and was therefore likely to be seen by a large number of people, including children.”

Commenting on the reaction to the billboards, she said: "If people are offended by my ad, I'm assuming they're also complaining about Ann Summers and Jack Daniels ones.

The original article contains 408 words, the summary contains 194 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Heh heh heh. They said “erected”.

Nobody will think of the children if they can't infringe on our rights to privacy and freedom, right?

So it's like, a porn advert? I kind of assumed that wasn't a thing.

What a bunch of degenerates we all are. This is just sad.

If being on onlyfans constitues being a model now than I am a highly esteemed 3d enviromental designer

Slavoj Žižek and Adam Curtis were correct. Every person (very few like me) who advocates against the use of slot machine style colours in our daily consumer goods and ads around us is correct. People who have no idea how neuroscience and human psychology works, and defend this shit, are direct supporters of the very Black Mirror/1984 dystopia they keep claiming China is. Western world is the real 1984 Skynet dystopia.

Meanwhile, China is imposing limits on children using Tiktok and video games per day/week, as Western society continues to pursue happiness in consooming and sealing its doors away from success for atleast a couple generations.

I can't believe what I'm seeing...

What an incredibly European headline.

This is why I love America, the first amendment is dope.

Edit: It's hilarious to see the usual Lemmy leftists spazzing out in the replies. A lot of them is just them being made about grooming being banned in certain contexts, but the only thing they're materially wrong is about the general state of physical displays in America as a whole. The local policies of Florida for example aren't nationalized, they're locally specific to the state of Florida exclusively.
