Opinion | At the Met Gala, Celebrities Go Nearly Nude. (Yawn.)
: Historically, nudity in media has shifted from carefully crafted performances intended to provoke or co-opt the "male gaze" to modern "bald attention plays" meant to capture clicks in a desensitized market.
: Some celebrities over 40 use nudity to reclaim their sensuality and challenge ageist narratives, demonstrating a love for their bodies and what they have accomplished.
The narrative changes drastically when celebrity images are leaked without consent, often referred to as "image-based sexual abuse" or "non-consensual pornography."
