2. Imagine the mindset of the people who used her in that industry.

The agents, producers, actors, the consumers.

I hope that these days, people seeing such a young-looking actress are disturbed and not turned on, but I know how naive that is.

I know how common it is for people to comfort themselves with narratives about women who just look young...

apparently not thinking for one moment what it says about them that they are aroused by women who look so young... not attracted to them as people, whom they personally know and interact with, so that they get insight into their mature personalities... but just as a woman who looks underage.

It says a lot.
