That... that thing they're sitting on. That... vaguely asymmetrical thing. It's beautiful ;_;Spoiler: BWOOO I made this stuff BWOOOOOO (click to show/hide)
Or I guess flowers if you're being a boring old fuddy duddy. Which is to say they're retroactively ninja stars now and you're welcome. It looks like there's still space for a top on the one on the right. Katana? Or I guess one of the shorter ones or something more exotic, but still. Ninja themed origami boxes of awesome! 95% guarantee to not contain poison gas.
So with that in mind, why is it that a 'sexy' female character is a male sexual fantasy, rather than a female self reflection fantasy? Why can't it be both? Are we scared to admit that women have sexuality? Or am I missing the point. I mean lets be honest, I am a white heterosexual male aged 20 to 30 who is financially doing alright. If anybody is going to misunderstand how discrimination works and need a break down of the situation, I am willing to admit I am a prime candidate.
body image
fucked upIt's got a lot less to do with being afraid of female sexuality than it does with how much of a detriment modern body image often is to just that (there's just... vast tracts of text related to this, from what I understand. Reams of it.). Along with how unhealthy it usually is, how frakking unobtainable, how etc., so forth, so on, and continuing. That's a whole other can of violently wriggling worms and seriously something of a scope that could stand its own thread, because gods know it's garnered enough literature over the last few decades. Hell I'm relatively certain we've had threads on that subject, or at least have had it come up several times in varying threads.
"The first law for the historian is that he shall never dare utter an untruth. The second is that he shall suppress nothing that is true. Moreover, there shall be no suspicion of partiality in his writing, or of malice."Pretty words. Unfortunately distanced from the reality of historical record (you can stuff a lot of bias into a text and still pass Cicero's heuristic
-Marcus Tulius Cicero
-106 B.C.
), but that's a topic a bit better suited for a different discussion. Poor thread's derailed enough, really.
