Found objectionable by some as over-extending the definition of objectification:'

For example mention of Jennifer Love Hewitt is probably an invocation of a sexually attraction or celebrity pattern, not likely much to do with the woman herself as a person.

extreme examples

God's Eye View and rape are two extreme examples of subject object issues that create or justify extreme unequal power relationships, those being, between priestly hierarchy and ordinary worshippers, and between rapist and those raped. These relationships are simply imposed by force on an unwilling object who is forced to submit to them, regardless of consequences. Some believe colonialism is also a product of exactly the same phenomena, and that technological escalation is closely related to these same issues.

One could as a less extreme example include the definition of trolls into existence by a priestly hierarchy of sysops loyal to their GodKing.
