Pervs, they want the statue underwearless?

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That statue is really cool and everybody likes to take pictures with it. Some people don't want anyone to have fun.

I think a lot of grown up adults out there forget that a child's mind is oblivious and/or entirely disinterested in sex-related stuff—even to the point they may say it's icky or funny. It just simply does not compute or click. To them, underwear is just a thing you have on like hats or shoes.

And then finally at some point they do show interest in it and the adults have zero control then anyway. They may think they do, but a kid showing interest in a statue's underwear already has highly successful skills in accessing porn or has such imagination they can jerk off to almost anything.

These people are worried long after puberty hits.

“We serve over 100,000 school-age children that come to our museum every single year. What message does that send to our young people, our visitors and community to present a statue that objectifies women, is sexually charged and disrespectful?”

Homer: Well, Lisa, remember that postcard Grandpa sent us from Florida of that alligator biting that woman's bottom?

Bart: Oh, yeah. That was brilliant!

Homer: That's right. We all thought it was hilarious, but it turns out we were wrong. That alligator was sexually harassing that woman.

Bart: And the dog in the Coppertone ad? Same deal, Dad?

Homer: Well, that's kind of a gray area.

So they want there to not be underwear when you look up there?

So people made a giant statue that you can walk under and they are mad because you can look up her dress? Talk about creating a problem so you can just complain about it.
