A woman, a glass box, and 2,000 men. We’ve been here before, and it never ends well.

“For 24 hours, I’m all yours. Tied up, gagged, bent over, begging, however you want me, you can have me.”

This was how OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue advertised her “petting zoo” event, where she would be tied up in a glass box “like a zoo animal” for anyone of legal age to join her, and do with her what they wished.

“No limits. No breaks. Just me, in a box and ready to be used,” she wrote on a website advertising the event.

Blue’s goal was to “hit 2,000 bodies”.

“It’s dirty, intense, and completely open. You can watch, join in, or do both. There will be live shows, group scenes, and plenty of chances to get involved, whether you want to take control or just enjoy the view.”

The stunt, which was set to take place on June 15th, sparked intense outrage and safety concerns online, forcing Blue to cancel.

Reportedly, the 26-year-old has also been banned from OnlyFans for breaching its terms of service, with a source telling The Sun that “her page has officially been pulled”.

When Blue announced that the “petting zoo” wasn’t going ahead, she insisted that she didn’t want to “disappoint anyone that was excited”.

The only people who were excited by the “glass box” stunt are the exact ones you’d never want to be trapped in a glass box with, especially when they’ve been handed free rein and zero consequences.

We have already seen the lengths humans can go to when nothing is off limits.

In 1974, Serbian artist Marina Abramović performed a six-hour gallery piece where she stood motionless, allowing visitors to use any of 72 objects on her, including perfume, lipstick, scissors, a gun, an ax, and more,

Her instructions were: “I am the object. During this period I take full responsibility.”

The performance, titled Rhythm O, started off calmly, with participants hesitant to use any of the dangerous items. But as the hours progressed, the audience became emboldened, armed with the knowledge that there would be no ramifications.

In the third hour, all of Abramović’s clothes were cut off. By the fourth, her throat was cut so that her blood could be sucked. She was touched inappropriately, and a loaded gun was pressed to her temple, with her own finger placed on the trigger.

Speaking about the performance 35 years later, as per The Harvard Crimson, Abramović said, “The experience I drew from this work was that in your own performances you can go very far, but if you leave decisions to the public, you can be killed.”

We know that people do wicked and depraved things even with the threat of consequences. Give them a license to do anything and, suddenly, you have the most twisted minds ready to fulfill their darkest fantasies.

When Bonnie Blue said she was “ready to be used” in a glass box, she was essentially encouraging participants to treat her as an object. It’s a chilling proposition, and one for which we are already seeing the repercussions.

In Berlin, there is a Cyberbrothel that uses life-size sex dolls instead of human sex workers. Clients can request custom dolls for a few hours or overnight, to do with them as they like.

“If you are here, the only person who can judge you is yourself,” the brothel co-owner Matthias Smetana said, as per the New York Post.

Author Laura Bates saw, first-hand, the way these dolls are being used when she visited the brothel for her book The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny.

“You can order a sex robot to be prepared for you when you arrive. You can order one that’s covered in blood. You can ask for custom particulars,” she told the Should I Delete That podcast.

“I asked them to slash and cut and tear her clothing before I arrived just to see if they would, and they did, no questions asked.”

Clients can also download a version of the doll on their phone.

“If you’re a teenage boy, you can have her, you can have as many as you like, you can access them for free. You can jump into rape scenarios with them, you can abuse them.

“Many men abuse them and share the screenshots with each other to see who can do the most awful and depraved things to them… This is a bigger problem.”

All this to say, we don’t need to imagine what certain men would have done in Bonnie Blue’s glass box. We’ve already seen it. And the more we normalise the objectification of women, the more these men are going to see the world as their petting zoo.
