Infantilization in the world today





The first image I have posted is the anime drawing of a female in a catholic school girl outfit. It is obviously meant to be suggestive by the way the angle of the picture leads the viewer right up her leg and under her skirt, and yet the girl is dressed very childlike. what is also strange to me is the entire culture of sexual cartoons when cartoons are intened for kids right? The next two images I chose are clips from one of Britney Spears first music videos. Once again we can see the catholic school girl outfit. So she dances very suggestively and bares her midriff and yet has pigtails and fluffy hair ties in her hair. The last images I posted are from a magazine spread and although I am not sure they are examples of infantilizatin they are very bizarre and I thought worth sharing. I am not sure what the message trying to be portrayed here is but it is strange nontheless.
