From a certain point of view, it's weird that society insists that human genitals must be hidden, but anyone who wanted to put pants on animals would be considered crazy. The Wall Street bull sculpture is allowed to have a penis, but a werewolf is sufficiently human-like that even when it has no visible penis, its lack of pants is enough to offend some people. Where is the line drawn?

Vsauce has a great video on why we hide our genitals, which in short is mostly to prevent the spreading of disease caused by human excrement, and emotions like shame preventing people from being butt naked in front of other people.

Though that doesn't really apply in art, and I think it might just be an instinctual disgust.

Depends who you ask, just make sure you don't start off with them furries

Starting with them sounds fine. It's finishing with them that seems alarming to me.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you finish with them, doesn't that mean you had a good time?

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

That's why it's alarming. Lol

Also werewolves look great in cutoffs.

American morality in a nutshell

So why does "someone complained" mean that action had to be taken? Why didn’t the owner just tell them to STFU?

If there were complaints, it makes one wonder if the model is anatomically correct and fully functional.

[–] smokin_shinobi@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

They weren’t in the movie at least.

anatomically correct

Well I suppose if a movie was intended to be very realistic, then...

fully functional

What!?

Display mannequins in clothing stores get guest complaints if they're naked, they're not even anatomically correct there's just a bump for the naughty bits on the male ones!
