why do people have to always try to convince me how unfazed they are by nudity? if you're unfazed by it, please link me to your nudes. if not, you're fazed.

there's absolutely nothing wrong with finding certain states of undress offensive. would you vote for or against buttholes on display on bus kiosks? i'm against.

on the other hand, making an arbitrary line, and seeing if an AI can detect/enforce it is an interesting CS challenge. that's how this game is played, and that's what would impress this audience.

There's a big difference between being desensitized towards general nudity (if we presume said nudity was voluntary) as opposed to having your own nudity exposed to other strangers. There's also a big difference between pornography and nudity.

There's a lot more nuance to it than just "n000ds plz."

>There's a lot more nuance to it than just "n000ds plz."

my point was about arbitrary lines, like the ones you are drawing, and judging people on the basis of them. I'm old and sophisticated, you think I haven't heard or understood all the nuances you're talking about? I have and do, and I also pick up on the nuance that you feel it puts you in a group of people who get to judge and tell other people how they should feel, because you are superior.

That's the nuance I feel you are missing. Why not let people be who hold a different opinion than you? the comment I was replying to here was gratuitous "why do people care so much about NSFW, I'm a superior human being because I don't." Well, why do people care how other people care about NSFW? doesn't that make you an inferior human again, mr. judgey judger?

just so you don't get me wrong, I was raised in a hippie commune "anything goes, we're superior" style, and only going through it that way did I discover how much bullshit it was. I'm not arguing from the "conservative side", I'm arguing from hell because I've been there and back. I just hate hearing it now. It was just another very rigid set of rules about what to believe and what not to believe.

Not for me, baby. Bus-stop-buttholes all the way.

The point of being unfazed by nudity is that seeing a random naked person doesn't bother me. It doesn't mean that I have to be unfazed upon unincidentally seeing my boss naked.

You're just falling for the worn out "well she's wearing revealing clothing so she must be fine with being flashed" type of fallacy.

The way basic nudity is treated by corpos is kind of juvenile, very reminiscent of kids in an early human biology class who can't help but giggle every time the anus, or any reproductive organs are mentioned. That is not how healthy adults respond to seeing impersonal nudity.

Are you unfazed by numbers? If you're unfazed by them, please link me to photos of the front and back of your credit cards. If you are fazed by numbers, surely we should be banning them from being displayed at bus kiosks.

If you find states of undress offensive, that's a you problem. Shield your eyes, not ours.

There's a difference between finding something 'bad taste' and wanting regulation to ban it.

This ignores people who are comfortable with nudity, but are not comfortable with the puritans (i.e. most humans) harassing them for being in their natural state.

Great strawman. Nudity is normal. Finding other people's states of undress offensive, and wanting to criminalise them, when they do not harm you at all, is a bigoted view.

An interesting take given your choice of username. CS challenges aside, who gets to draw the line?
