Isn't your entire posts, exactly what you accuse the video as being?

These types of things are just masturbation.
BTW, what is wrong with masturbation? It is a natural act, Male and Females do it and it seems to be a normal function of human activity, BUT it has
been frowned upon by doctrine and dogma, particularly from a negative perspective not to mention the negative anecdotes or stereotypes that prevail
surrounding a subject that societies have come to feel fear or shame for participating in, yet all most all do.
I guess hanging a negative stereotype onto an act can have great effects.
consciously and unconsciously pick up on the extremely negative language patterns
I guess I see what you mean, from your post.
On one hand though, you speak of the power of words to plant ideas etc, specifically when it supports your view that video's like this will have the
reverse effect and "plant the opposite message in people's heads".
Words are very powerful. They bring up ideas. When you repeatedly bring up ideas, your subconscious begins accepting them as truth -- no matter
the original intention.
But then you state that words are little more than "images" of what can be with little impact at all.
Speaking of what is wrong with the world will never fix it. Only speak of what it should be.
But as you state earlier, speaking of what is wrong with the word brings up ideas, ideas that your subconscious begins to accept as the truth.
I doubt though, that the maker of the video has any intent to
make people do anything.
The video is what it is
The viewer takes what they will from it.
Your view is to debase it with negative stereotypes that, both consciously and subconsciously, people may accept as the truth.
When in actual fact, it is simply a normal function of males and females to communicate ideas, like in the video.
