Playboy has announced that it’s closing down its flagship magazine for the rest of 2020. It seems unlikely, given the wording of the announcement and the state of print magazine-making, that it will ever return. It’s not a surprise, exactly — its circulation and advertising drooped long ago, accelerating as the nudie pictures for which it was celebrated became available everywhere for free. Hugh Marston Hefner, its founder/editor/latter-day reality-show star/loungewear enthusiast, died in 2017, as his faded empire contracted around him, and one got the sense that the magazine was kept going partly because nobody wanted Hef to outlive it.

Hard to imagine it now, but Playboy once felt forward-thinking and modern. Founded in 1953, it was a significant force in the loosening of anti-obscenity laws regarding the press. 



Respect!

This is the bizarre shite the left still sees today. Sexualization of our culture is "forward thinking".

Now we've devolved from nude magazines to grown men wearing dresses lecturing 5 year olds on sex in public libraries. PROGRESS!

Not surprising. Playboy was Hef and Hef was Playboy. It was already sick when he was still alive. It was doomed after he died.

The youngsters here do not realize what any impact Playboy had on so many social issues of the times. So many currently accepted and enjoyed freedoms are the result of Hefner & Playboy.

I thought they already closed down? Or was it just the magazine?

Meh. We live in the age of PornHub. I’m surprised they were still operating anyways.

I can sit right here and search up thousands of girls getting fricked for free and I don’t even have to worry about sticky pages or PornHub lecturing me about social issues.
