The hypocrisy is amazing.

Bolding is mine:
....Somebody posts a picture of topless Fran. Awesome! Boobies!
Then I make the mistake of reading their description.
"Anyhow. If you are offended by this? Well, I don't know what to say other than "grow up". Not only does it have "Nude" in the title, there is a mature content warning. You can also read this description before viewing the picture.
Just for future information.
I'm not sensitive to many things. If you see a graphic novel from me, there will be female nudity (males will be censored), gore, and possibly even sex. *gasp* I try to be conservative, because of this over-sensitive world nowadays. I'm sorry; I grew up with Bond movies (if that constitutes anything).
Sorry to rant, but I think this is a pressing issue that some people need to open their eyes to. *coughmorethanhalfofUSAcough*"
Sheepy points this out to the artist, and gets this response:
"Because I don't think a penis is attractive? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for males, but I just think the unowut isn't necessary to show. Censoring boobs is just...dumb."
Uh huh. We're allowed to do whatever we like with women (Don't like tits? ZOMG U PRUDE) but you can't show guybits unless they're giant and veiny and injected with steroids. 'Cause PINGAS = EWWWWWWW!!!11!1!1 Heaven forbid someone finds them *gasp* attractive without being ridiculous supergiants. Quick! Chop off the Statue of David's "unowut" since nudity = pr0n!
Silly PINGAS, pr0n is for tits!

Date: 2009-06-17 09:55 am (UTC)And Yeah! Movies can show full-frontal nudity with a woman, but God forbid if they show a man's penis. And I'm loving how many times she contradicted herself and proved herself to be a hypocrite.
1) "If you see a graphic novel from me, there will be female nudity (males will be censored)"
2) "Because I don't think a penis is attractive? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for males, but I just think the unowut isn't necessary to show. Censoring boobs is just...dumb."
And that whole little anti-penis rant of hers was dumb! In the sex scene of "Cold Mountain" you could see EVERYTHING on Nicole Kidman but we didn't see any of Jude Law's manbits. Only his butt. I was a bit disappointed.
I agree with all the above comments: manbits need more love.<3

[On a serious note, it really does seem to be a more common thing that seeing a naked woman is superfine but it's unecessary and ttly gross to see manbits. I'm Australian and have recently noticed that movies (esp. our "homegrown" ones) aren't shy in regards to sex and full-frontal nudity... as long as it's a woman. In fact one recent movie I saw involved a sex scene wherein the most we got to see of the guy was his ass, whereas we got to see pretty much everything of the girl. Come on, people, a bit of equality here! Where are the penises? Or, where are the strategic shots for both genders?]

((I know! Even in Brokeback Mountain, there was more nudity of the girls while with the guys, we had tent shadows and fast blurry shots of them jumping off a cliff and swimming in the nude. No fair! D: ))
