Terry Richardson pushed fashion over the edge into sleaze

quote [ The industry let him do as he pleased because it believed it needed him ]

Debated about the category, but decided on the neutral "people" over "crime and punishment" or "politics". I posted what I felt was the most clear-eyed and neutral critique I could find and still agree with.

My personal take is that Terry Richardson was a creep and a bully, but he was enabled by an industry, and an audience, that feted the results he got from being a creep and a bully. He was good at exploiting his models, and successful as a result.

I thought I'd throw this out to SE, because, given our collective history in posting and consuming prOn and (quite possibly, be honest here) images of women pushed into uncomfortable and embarrassing acts, I wanted to see if we can thread the needle.
