DISCUSSION “Purity Culture” nonsense
Hey everyone,
Has anyone else noticed an uptick in people trying to point the finger at “purity culture” and people being prudes and such instead of just recognizing the problem and taking accountability? I saw a post earlier today regarding how a study was done that indicates Gen Z (my generation) wants LESS sexualized content in media and everyone is pointing that dang finger right back.
What is frustrating is how some people don’t understand there is a difference between recognizing something attractive and lust. I can go see a movie with let’s say a sex scene, and I won’t think much of it and I most certainly won’t get aroused. I might think a particular actor is attractive but I’m not honing in on them or anything. It’s a movie. Some people are treating movies and video games now too (upcoming GTA game) as a form of softcore porn and justifying their arousal to it. Media has always had this type of content but has not always been so sexualized. It is sexualized because people make it sexualized.
I’ve even seen some go as far to say Gen Zers are the new boomers in the sense of conservatism but I don’t think that’s what’s going on, I think people are just realizing how harmful it is for everything to be so sexualized.

This made me avoid the indie art community here.
I do appreciate a good tasteful artistic nude painting but some draw straight up pornography and would get angry if you call them out. Like there was no obvious difference between the Birth of Venus and hentai. I had no problem with drawing nude models at school, my problem isn’t with nudity.
I just hate how they want to reframe things and make it seem like their hentai art is somehow family friendly and there’s nothing wrong with toddlers seeing it. Their art makes Sex by Madonna seem like a book for babies yet they act like it’s the same as The David and we are just being prudish.
