I think everyone agrees sex is used to make a profit. I don't recall everyone saying it's excessive or "hyper-sexual" as you would say. Also, just because something is based entirely around sex and there isn't supposed to be some sort of social critique attached doesn't take away from the creative process. I feel like you are just taking credit away from the artists and video directors because they aren't using sex appeal in the way you feel it should be used.

Similar to how I used to say Lil Wayne and Drake aren't real rappers just because I hate everything about them. They are rappers, they are creators, I just happen to disagree with the overall message of their songs and hate the art they create. That doesn't make them more or less creative than another artist.
