Bettie Page Passed Away.
Drill King:
Even though she hasn't done anything in.. well practically forever, this is sad.
Vendetagainst:
It's always sad when someone dies... and I'm not trying to come off as an ass or to marginalize her death, but did she really do anything of merit? I mean she helped Playboy and I could respect the argument that she empowered women (or the reverse), but all she ever did was fetish porn, right? Again, I'm not trying to be rude, and if I'm missing the point or anything I'd like to know it.
Drill King:
She essentially brought fetish/bondage/etc porn to a more acceptable light.
Ballard:
It's not so much what she did as what she helped others do. Page was hugely important in setting in motion the wheels of the sexual revolution. The fact that sex is no longer taboo can be attributed to her amongst others. Sometimes this isn't a great thing because there is now a lot of sexuality displayed in poor taste (see: the daily "gag slut loves dick" emails in your email inbox) but most times this is incredible because it's raised public awareness on how to have safe sex and prevent unwanted pregnancy (as well as how women can and should not let themselves be abused by men.
Vendetagainst:
Oh, that's completely understandable. RIP, Bettie Page.
