This was a weird idea to me. I don't want to say things just because I think they will get a reaction. I didn't start this blog, or really any of my blogs, because I thought they would lead to fame. In fact, it is really hard for me to comprehend. I think I am relatively empathetic, StrengthsFinder counts it as one of my top skills, yet this just blows my mind.
Who starts a blog to try to become famous? I mean, I wouldn't be offended if it happened, but it has never been my goal. To be honest, I am always seriously shocked when I find out someone has read my blog. I have had friends and co-workers comment about it. Even teachers. I can also see the number of people who have viewed the blog, as well as each post, because Blogger monitors it. But still I am always like, 'you did!?'
It reminds me of people who quit school to sing or act. There are so many other people doing the same thing (blogging) that it seems impractical. And doing things just to get a reaction, not necessarily because you agree or even care, seems like selling out before you've even sold anything. Like when celebrities wear meat or ride nude on wrecking balls to get a reaction.
I don't know. It just doesn't process right for me.
After all this you are probably wondering what on Earth the title has to do with the post.
Well, the title is an article we looked at in English class. It partially inspired the advice that my classmate shared.
What is Naked Sushi? It is a catering company that serves sushi on naked bodies. The article mostly focus on eating sushi off women and feminists are in an uproar about it. However, they do use both males and females.
They also aren't exactly naked. More nude, since all 'sensitive' areas are covered.
Most of the article is a discourse between a model for the company and feminist arguments that this is objectifying women. However, since the company offers both male and female models it doesn't seem like it is as misogynistic as they've made it out to be.
But perhaps, I am still caught up in the 'EW!' factor. I don't want someone else touching my food much less eating it off someone's stomach. Also, even being the model and having raw sushi sitting on me for hours seems just as bad.
Still, without the conflict and controversy that comes up by bringing feminism into it, it might not receive as much of a response.
However, a news source doing this makes more sense than a blog doing it.
Maybe, I am just biased because I blog for different reasons and about different things.
Who knows, maybe this could help me blog, thinking about what will inspire more of a response from readers. Yet, I don't think I will ever make it as much of a priority as it was made out to be in class.
