First definition: the act or process of ruining something
Nothing about this video is ruining her. If this is the person she wants to be than not allowing her to do this would be more destructive to her character than having people find her tasteless.

Second definition: the act of treating someone or something poorly and without respect
If Nikki wants the video to be made this way and flaunt herself than that is the exact opposite of this definition. She is being treated respectfully by having her goal and idea about the music video fulfilled.

An opinion would be, "Nikki should feel degraded by her actions." If you said that we wouldn't be having this discussion. All you're doing is stating a fact a calling it your opinion.
This has been quite fun but I will be removing all my previous posts for the sake of other members. We have derailed the thread quite a bit with our bickering and I don't want other people having to sift through everything. Feel free to PM me or post here if you'd like.
