I'm out of the loop. What's going on?

  • Drag queens reenacted a painting of a Greek scene at the Olympic opening ceremonies.

  • Christians naturally thought it was about them and started crying persecution, other bigots took advantage of the fray to attack the LGBT community.

  • The world rejoices at another opportunity to mock the latter into oblivion.

TLDR; The usual

There's serious "this photo of a buff woman completely derailed a podcast about the state of the white man for three episodes" energy around this image

the problem we (although i can only speak for myself) have is that this is not appropriate for kids. i don’t have any problem with what people do in private, but this being broadcast to the whole world with no age restriction is the problem.

What exactly is a child seeing that is inappropriate? It’s a bunch of people dressed funny. They aren’t blowing each other on the runway.

there’s literally a guy with his balls out in the posted picture.

His parts are covered. Even so, what is the issue with nudity? This is a global event, in many parts of the world people are not as prude as occidentals. Some go naked to public baths, or beaches.

Boy are you new to the world of art. And greek gods.

[–] dcat@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

i don’t know man, seems like quite the sisyphusean task to try to keep kids from seeing testicles on tv 🤷

Hope you don't watch any swimming events then. All those guys are wearing speedos.

I assume you feel the same way about straight couples holding hands at the park because that being broadcast to the whole world with no age restriction is the problem.

[–] dcat@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i don’t have any problems with anyone holding hands at the park, my problem is that the guy in the back has his balls hanging out.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's a hole in his costume, not his balls hanging out. The closeup shot shows the hole. Watch the video and you'll see it. No one was showing off their junk.

Side note, do you have a link to the full video? I had to use a VPN to try and find it and got terrible quality.
