The cardi b situation is different and I dont entirely disagree with you on that. Certainly the scenarios are not mutually exclusive.

But just so we are crystal clear... it needs to be stated in no uncertain terms, coerced sexual exploitation is happening in the music industry today.

Again, I have first hand experience on this topic. The careers of many popular artists today have been shaped over the years very intentionally by their managers and label reps to progressively ramp up the sexuality over time. This is not a female only issue. If not the sexuality, its almost always written into contract terms that management or the label have full control over their entire look/persona in any public setting. Most artists do not like this (creatives tend to want to walk their own path) but most will see $$$ and compromise their own personal morals to achieve their "dreams". The industry preys on this.

It is not a question of projecting morals or anything else like that. Its quite literally the total control of a person's public persona at any cost, for the sake of $$$. And most the time that coercion comes at the compromise of the coerced own person set of morals or conviction, wherever on the scale it lays, because the sharks can always swim lower.
