People also forget that the people who came to the New World to escape religious persecution were being persecuted because their beliefs were so radical that no one wanted to deal with their bullshit anymore.
Yep!
And we're still the sexuality phobic weirdos of the developed world, which stems out of our puritanical backwards forerunners.
Glorification of gruesome, bloody hyperviolence all day baby, we'll show it on a loop on the news for the kiddos! Don't forget to like and subscribe!
One flaccid dick or vagina in public, on the other hand, and everyone loses their minds!
This is an us thing. We are the prudes of the developed western world. “Omg a boobie AAAAHHHH my child is scarred for life!“
If there's one thing I know about the US, it's that everyone is afraid of boobies.
Half these people just love the drama of it. It works to your advantage if you're a spiteful prick.
The puritans are dead an buried and the only quaker I see is on my steel cut oats.
Boycott PepsiCo!
You think we don't consider public nudity to be indecent? Like, do you think people outside of America go around naked and nobody bats an eye?
i mean yeah in many places it is perfectly normal to basically be naked, mostly in really swelteringly hot areas. And here in the nordics there's plenty of contexts where being naked is fine, and even outside of that the reaction to nudity is moreso "you okay bro?" than "OH GOD A NAKED PERSON ARREST THEM FOR INDECENCY"
the idea of raising a stink about a woman breastfeeding is so fucking stupid, who gives a shit if they have a tit out to feed a baby??? just look away if it's so bothersome.
Breastfeeding is not going around naked, and going around naked is definitely something considered indecent. Like, people might not scream but they'd definitely report a maniac to the police if someone is walking down the street dressed like when he was born
At no point were they discussing nudists. That's a strawman you created.
That's what public nudity is
No, it's included in umbrella term of public nudity, but it's not the definition of it.
Is showing off your dick in public public nudity then?
Radical beliefs aside, religious persecution was the style of the day, anything but Anglican was asking for trouble.
