I could be wrong, but I believe there is a way to report inappropriate pictures in reviews on Amazon.

And? That matters not, apparently.

I feel like men get the rough end of the stick here.

Does anyone care if an ad has an image of a woman wearing boxers, a woman in a man’s shirt, a man’s hoodie, their boyfriend’s jeans?

If they wear tradesmen’s boots or carry a messenger bag?

It used to be that women wearing pants was the height of obscenity.

When is it going to be ok that not all men wear the exact same uniform of shorts, pants and shirts?

My conservative FIL still gives my husband crap for not having a military haircut. He’s 54 years old and no one cares that his hair is not cut above the collar!

It’s ridiculous.

Not just online. I don't have regular or cable TV or a streaming service (just a large collection of DVD's), and at the dentist office today, I saw a Christmas commercial on their TV for a jewelry store that showed two men sharing a real "on the lips" kiss when one gave the other a watch.

Okay, whatever, "no big deal" -- but I was just surprised because I had not seen a Christmas commercial showing that before this year. (But, again, I really do not watch TV except when I am "forced" to do so, so maybe this is 'ho-hum' by now.)

Lib/dems are not afraid of other Democrats because they know Democrats toe the line and wouldn't say anything against them whereas as if a conservative posed in such things - it would go viral and everyone would laugh at them.

It's not worth it to react to stuff like this imo - won't change a thing but it will show those who create reviews like that they're able to live rent free in your head.
This is a discussion forum - are we only allowed to discuss what you deem appropriate?

What it comes down to is what are you searching for. The algorithms will then keep looking for your preference.

I mean,..that's what you'd "hope" the algorithm does. But really who knows what humans are feeding it or leaning on it from the other side.

No tinfoil hat, ...but I wouldn't bet the farm on it being independent of its creator's or controller's interests 100%.

No real control over the user posted amazon reviews.

But it is a bit pervy to be peeking through such photo reviews for ladies underwear "for a family member" anyway.

Yes, that's the real issue. A person can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't adversely affect someone else. And a guy taking a selfie while wearing lacy women's underwear, then posting it on what has to be the world's largest online retailer, definitely adversely affects others.

Supposedly there is. I've posted book reviews on Amazon, and once I hit Send it invariably says something to the effect that "your review will be posted once approved". Whether it's a human reviewing, a computer using AI, or it's all bull I have no idea. But it does indeed take a day or two for the review to show up.

I'd think they be even more careful about such things as underwear reviews.
