I came across your listing for a Copywriter on the JustMeans website. As a multimedia professional currently expanding into the environmental/CSR arena, I was eager to learn more about your company. On your Results page, I see that you have highlighted the messaging work you’ve done for a porn addiction recovery program. Intrigued, I visited your client’s website, to see the kind of work 4GoodMedia does. Much to my dismay, I discovered some well-written, but deeply homophobic content on this site. For example,
“…homosexuality, like other forms of sexual sin, can be conquered. If your desire is to change, God can heal and bring restoration.” (http://www.x3pure.com/samesex/).
So I’m curious: Is 4GoodMedia responsible for creating this kind of offensive content? Even if your company did not create this particular web content, why would you choose to promote this kind of offensive messaging and your affiliation to this client by linking to it from your site?
I’m well aware that your client is entitled to its position that homosexuality is a sin, but I am personally offended by this view, and even more offended to see it being promoted by a so-called socially responsible marketing company. I’d love to know how 4GoodMedia, a “digital agency dedicated to sparking social and cultural innovation,” sees this kind of messaging as consistent with its approach to corporate social responsibility. You claim to be looking for job applicants with “(a) sincere interest in making the world a better place through digital marketing and media.” Is promoting homophobia your idea of “making the world a better place?” On your Mission page, you state that CSR is “the driving force in all that we do – from the way we recruit and treat our employees, to the environmental policies we follow, to the causes and clients we support.” I’d love to know how promoting homophobia fits into your corporate mission.
Also, I don’t know what kind of non-discrimination policy your company has (assuming you have one), but rest assured that by promoting your affiliation to a homophobic Christian client, you are sending a not-so-subtle signal to potential employees — and potential clients — that 4GoodMedia is neither welcoming to, nor particularly respectful of, GLBT people.
I look forward to your response.
Hi Liz
Loved your comments – seriously. It gave a laser clear perspective to something we struggle with constantly. Initially, your reaction makes a lot of sense. As supporters of all human rights, we hesitated at the “sexual sin” positioning as well. In fact, you’ll probably not be surprised that this type of rhetoric is used throughout the evangelical community – often more harshly. It’s tough to take at times.
So why take on the business, then? Allow me to offer a deeper perspective on the situation.
First, the issue of porn addiction is insidious and enormous. The porn industry rakes in $15 BILLION annually – more than the top sports leagues combined. That’s not even the full story. There’s a massively larger population of free porn available to a much larger audience. In our research we found the following:
1. Porn does much more than dehumanize women. It dehumanizes relationships, providing an idealized and visceral fantasy life instead of a humble and human context for relationships. It erodes families.
2. x3pure and its parent organization Fireproof Ministries has the best chance of success versus the nine or so competitors. Most are a joke, frankly. x3pure has the marketshare, the most relationships with the media and evangelical community – where porn addiction is in its most underground form. Shame binds people and parishioners to not seeking help.
3. Despite what has to be a several hundred million person population viewing pornography and being harmfully influenced from it, most churches won’t touch the topic. Most organizations don’t think its a problem – or a problem worth discussing. And so it goes. A sunami of pornography unaffected by any real force except x3porn.com and perhaps one or two others.
You asked about 4goodmedia’s mission and values as it relates to CSR. As we posted earlier (hopefully you read this) Fight the Good Fight – or Encourage the Right Behavior (http://www.4goodmedia.com/marketing4good/encouraging-the-right-behavior/) we feel that we have to look more closely at the situation.
Consider for example, many of the big players in CSR, the ones who are actually doing something powerful and significant, are brands like McDonald’s and Coke, who support many CSR initiatives. Pepsi’s Refresh Project is another example. It funds $millions per month to non-profits. It still means we’re talking about a company that sells sugar water – something that’s not necessarily the best for you, in plastic bottles – something that’s bad for the environment.
The reality of things is that there are very few businesses of any import that are not actively and continually harming the environment; promoting some sort of tacit or overt and harmful bias; or not thinking clearly or comprehensively enough about their energy sources or usage. Its an ages-long history that has gotten us to this moment in time where a growing number of folks want to see evolution in business thinking.
That evolution in business thinking, however, has to deal with the centuries-long legacy of thinking and actions that we don’t necessarily agree with today. CSR and other holistic business approaches that endeavor to push humanity forward, deal in the complex gray paradoxical area of what we wish and what we see.
So, getting back to your comments. If we help people who already believe homosexuality is a sin to get over their addiction to pornography – one of our culture’s most destructive forces – is that a bad thing? We don’t feel it is.
Back to you – we look forward to your response.
