Hey everyone, this is REALLY serious.

objektophil:

I was recently contacted by a person named Christine Albrecht, who found me on Tumblr. Christine Albrecht is a casting associate with 20 West Productions out of Chicago, IL, and right now they’re looking for an objectum-sexual person, ostensibly for a docu-series about “uncommon lifestyles.”

THIS IS A LIE.

Christine Albrecht is not just a casting associate for the innocently-named 20 West Productions. Christine Albrecht is a casting director for My Strange Addiction. If you’ve ever seen the show, then you know that it’s basically about ridiculing and pathologizing folks who have addictions. 

Objectum-sexuality is not an addiction. It’s a sexuality. Surely you see what’s very wrong about contacting objectum-sexuals to appear on My Strange Addiction.

This person does not understand what objectum-sexuality actually is. This person is all about pathologizing, ridiculing, and making a joke out of objectum-sexuals on national television.

If you talk to this person, your career could be at stake. Your reputation. Your relationships. Possibly, perhaps, your life.

Other objectum-sexuals who have spoken out, such as Erika Eiffel, have gotten death threats and other very nasty things. At its mildest, there are degrading jokes and ridicule that could come out of this. At its worst, threats on your life.

Please do not take up Christine Albrecht’s offer to be in a docu-series about “uncommon lifestyles.” It’s not as innocent as that. If Christine Albrecht contacts you, ignore her or block her if necessary. You do NOT want a part of what she’s offering. 

Signal boost this. Tell your OS/OR friends. Post this on any OS/OR message boards you may be on (I already covered OSI so don’t worry about that). DO NOT LET ANYONE FALL FOR THIS TRAP. The OS/OR community is a small one, and we need to protect each other.
