“they have created the ability to meld figures to genesis(god right now at 3am I cant remember the correct name for the process)” Geografting or perhaps in this case, Gynografting ÷)
“speaking from an "artistic" point of view(and not an "erotic artist point of view") a figure that is physically accurate IS part of the artistic process. even doing the most chaste scene of a nude lounging on a sun bed....its un-nerving to see them "barbie doll'ed".
I tend to agree. When every other anatomical feature, including the wisdom teeth is apparently artistically important or at least inoffensive enough to be included. It seems rather obvious, or at least suspiciously convenient, that this fits in with the age old notion that women’s bodies are evil, threatening dangerous etc. and need to be shrouded for the good of society. Revealing the carnal cavern from whence we are all borne (in painful sorrow, as punishment for woman’s original sin) would lead to the destruction of mankind. That’s always been the view among certain groups and it’s trickled down and been maintained forever. At the extreme end, you get grown men who are proud to spit on 9 year old girls (supposedly for turning them on)., when in a moral society, dude you might want to hide the fact that you’re being turned on by 9 year old girls or like pluck your eye out. Vickie’s just slightly more subtle example of the same thinking– IMO. Of course many males are so eager to worship Amazonian, gunslinging, sword wielding Uberwenchen they may as well be wearing “Vickie Made Me Her Bitch” T-shirts, but bring out the V Weapon and that’s dirty pool.
I think that when adults (or children for that matter) are taught thar certain parts of their bodies are taboo and they see them only in a pornographic context, such repression leads to negative consequences. I don’t think you have to be in favor of mass public nudity to find the neutered Vickies and Facebook bans on breastfeeding bizarre at best. I know it’s a radical thought, but maybe, just maybe with a little less such nonsense, we’d have a few less women chained up in basements.
