    Interesting.

    One one hand, you have both the usual Bazinga brain r*dditors/men being their usual selves and on the other a picture from a neurodivergent person that evoked sexual connotations because of the nipples being visible through the shirt.

    Makes me wonder if attempts at desexualizing full/partial/imaginative (probably not the right word) nudity will succeed and what, if any, effects on society this will have. I would have answered yes, of course, but that was before realizing I'm different than most people and that sexual attraction and I are enemies.

        That would not desexualize it, but likely strengthen it.

        As for it would never happen, well there's plenty of societies across the world, as 19th century colonizers would not let us forget, where people live just fine while walking around in clothes westerners would consider undecent.

            There are many native south american tribes where women still walk around topless, but it has nothing to do with hierarchy.

        People have been nude around each other in many many cultures and times. Saunas are a thing, nudists are a thing. There are plenty of places where women are topless and are doing fine. I do think it's possible for people, specifically het men, to not be horny sex creeps about women all the time. But if you ONLY see naked women in porn/erotic media, then you lose that awareness that women are, in fact, human beings and their bodies are not for your sexual pleasure but simply bodies that people live with.

        It's not about removing any and all sexual connotations, but about fighting and deprogramming disgusting creepy behaviour. It's the difference between noticing some tits and then minding your business or obsessing over it and shaming someone for their own body.
