RE: Art, Female Nipples, NSFW & Censsorship - The conservative views from the world of Facebook and how should we behave on Steemit
I completely agree with @zeroooc , though like @martinamartini I think these absurd ideas are spreading to Europe. Thank you for raising the issue @shlomit and I did not feel it was forced at all. There is a definite effort being made to alter the definition of terms like 'feminism', 'racism', 'gender' and a whole host of other words that are nowadays used in ways that are quite foreign to my understanding of them.
America is at the forefront of the 'twisted morals' mentioned here in other ways too, given that the governor of New Jersey just voted against legislation to outlaw underage marriage because it was in conflict with religious traditions! This is in the face of evidence that legal loopholes are accommodating the marriage of children as young as 10 in the USA!
Society has gone mad and in so many ways backwards towards the middle ages. Non-gratuitous nipples in paintings and / or photography should never be deemed offensive to any clear thinking person.
As for the Vatican @thermoplastic - their hypocrisy takes my breath away!
8o 8o 8o 8o 8o 8o HOLLY SH**!!! Really??? That is so twisted. And so sad. We really are going backwards to darker times :(
As if humanity has progressed as much as it can and now it's too much and they turn back, I refuse to beleive that this is where we're heading..
"As for the Vatican @thermoplastic - their hypocrisy takes my breath away!"
@ricia you are painting the Vatican with a broad brush - criticism may be justified for many other issues concerning the Catholic Church, but here I think they should be lauded for lifting this veil of censorship. You are likely referring to what happened after the Reformation and the resulting Iconoclasm that marks the history of the Protestants, and in particular the Puritans that exported their brand of religious fervor to America, the basis of many of the more crazy churches you find there, such as the Westboro Baptist Church. As an aside, a joke that went around in my town among religios circles was: "The difference between a Baptist and a Methodist is that the Methodist can read" (not that they are any less crazy).
The Iconoclasm which took place after the Reformation was not much different than today's Taliban and the destruction of cultural heritage by ISIL.
