Banning Fashion Ads Is Not Fitting

I will concede to that but not until I have caught Dolce & Gabbana's ad. Just recently, the said designers' ad in uptown Spain have set off a controversy when they posed an ad exhibiting a half-naked man holding a woman by the wrist while four other men looked on. In the fashion world, or in any other media, freedom of expression is the foot of all the brilliance which enables these advertisers to churn out amazing campaigns. Such brilliance was never used by the fashion market to demean any sort of idea that may harm anyone. On the contrary, the designers received a lot of bad feedback because of the said ad, and they also were concerned it might not benefit them in the long run.

Somehow, as I read each sides' ideas, I still cannot concede. Freedom of expression has just been directly destroyed while malicious minds have been heavily consented to. It is so oppressive that more mature citizens are the ones behind the bad feedback and no one can point outright what someone may view the said ads as. Opinion play a huge role in creative freedom, if you have something on your mind about something, better keep it because others are not so ardent to hear it anyway.
