Pornography restrictions being codified into law, adult art being restricted from most Lemmy instances, Tarot readers blotting out the nudity on their cards on Reddit.

I’m watching the Magicians, on Amazon, and I use subtitles. All the curse words are purposefully filled in with random letters, so as not to offend the reader.

What’s up with all the prudishness? Can people knock it off, please?

People have vaginas. And titties. And dicks. And asses. They swear. They drink. They fuck. Why is this generation afraid of that? Acknowledging these things isn’t going to increase your chances of being sexually violated. So, what’s the deal?

    People don’t lose their personhood by being, acting or shown in a sexual context but many do absolutely not view it that way.

    Then you shame the prudes for their prudery and exclude them from society. You don’t cave to them and stop showing sex as being a part of normal life.

    It is very obvious that it caters to people objectifying the protagonists and therefore its not that easy to blatantly approve of it.

    That’s only a problem for you if you’re still clinging to those Bronze Age goat herders and their fucked up view of sex created to make it easier to justify treating women as property. Literally every idea about sex that treats it as some special area of human activity that is magical and different from everything else is descended from that one line of bullshit.
