Comrades of the European Internet Forum,
enough is enough!
For decades, we have placed ourselves in the cultural shadows - well-behaved, conformist, as if we were the ill-educated child of the great American moral uncle, who must not be too loud, not too naked and certainly not too independent. While half-naked shoulders are censored at high school graduation ceremonies in the USA, heads are thrown around like bowling balls in TV series. All normal, all āentertainmentā. But woe betide you if you see a nipple - then the censorship hammer screeches louder than a Trump on Truth Social.
I ask you: What has become of Europe?
We, the continent-born of the Enlightenment, the revolutions, the renaissance of nudity on canvas, in stone and on film - we have allowed a country that bottles cheese in cans, of all things, to tell us what is āmoralā!
It's not moral, it's demurely stupid.
Why are depictions of violence in mass media allowed to flow freely like American fracking oil, but natural, aesthetic, tasteful nudity - which has been part of European art and culture for centuries - is algorithmically filtered out, demonetised and labelled with warnings as if it were uranium?
No more prudish double standards!
We need a cultural return to what we have to offer:
- Enlightenment instead of transfiguration.
- Pleasure instead of violence.
- Nudity as an expression of naturalness - not as a moral offence.
I call on you:
Banish pixelated prudery!
Let's tear apart the corset of American moral dictatorship like a badly programmed DRM protection!
Save the freedom of the breast - for Europe!Stop aligning your films, games and series with a market that beeps āfuckā five times but completely waves āshoot him in the faceā through.
We are not Hollywood's post office box.
We are Europe.
We are culture.
We are naked! - So, metaphorically. And sometimes literally. And that's okay.Thank you for your attention!
Bruh what's your problem with depictions of violence on TV?
-
I'm down.. And already naked. While we're at it, let's drop the prepubescent hairlessness.
Let's just let people groom themselves however they prefer. We need to normalise accepting bodies of all kinds instead of pushing people to some particular ideal.

Men have been yelling at me about my boobs for 35 years. Im fucking sick of hearing it. There are boobs galore on the internet so go look but leave the rest of us alone, they don't need to be everywhere. As for your appeal to nature: wearing clothing is human nature and i don't accept the distinction between human and nature.
We are all in agreement, the objectification and hypersexualization of breasts is exactly the problem. It is a symptom of the deeper cause.
The author is talking about all nudity. Equating nudity with sex what leads to the "pornification" of our regular bodies. In countries where we feel safe being nude in public, there is much less sexual harassment and objectification.
-
How arrogant to think your previous centuries don't offer a culture of violence.
-
I agree. I like the post and its message, but in general everyone needs to focus less on identity and more on community. People have really lost the plot these days. What are we doing all of this for? So our families will have a good life, right? Everyone the world over is mostly just looking for that.
...Now that you actually put it that way, it's kinda weird to think of identity as something separate from belonging to a community.

Japanese saunas are often naked and sex segregated occasionally with family sections. But there's no hanky panky, it's just a sweat and soak situation.
Yeah you know for some people they just happen to be naked but for Germans being naked in the sauna is civil religion and saying anything against that is blasphemy. You will be subjected to the German inquisition that consists of three stages:
- passive aggressive staring
- angry comments from a safe distance (while moving away from the target to avoid any actual confrontation)
- reporting you to the authorities while making sure no one knows it was you
Iāve observed this spectacle because someone dared to wear swimming shorts in the sauna, I learned that your towel soaked in sweaty ass juice is more hygienic than wearing swimming shorts additionally.

It's not gay if the balls don't touch. So they tell me.
it's not gay. Been there, can confirm

Thereās also a certain pendulum swinging effect. From the prude 1950s to the free love of the late ā60s, the movies of the 1970s were a lot less prude than the 2000s are. It might take another generation growing up in this environment for them to rebel again and weāll have another summer of love, somewhere in the 2050s

I don't think you're wrong that we should let people do what they want but it's definitely troubling that so many people want pre pubescent hairlessness in their partner. Maybe we should do away with whatever is causing that

Iām not your dude, bro!

Germans still believe theyāre morally superior by insisting that someone swinging their junk 30cm away from your face is somehow cultural heritage.
Iāve been to a German sauna once, never again. It was full of groaning fat dudes rubbing their sweat all over their body and some fit dudes doing stretching exercises in the sauna, all naked. I didnāt come there to be a creep, but it should be noted that even though it was a mixed gender sauna it was like 80-90% dudes because most of the women went to the female sauna instead apparently.
You can tell me all about nudity and sex not being the same, but if thereās some smoking hot woman next to me in the sauna completely naked I will think about sex. Hell, I will probably think about sex if she wears a bikini. To me this is actually natural, not forcing people to strip naked and then also stripping them of their instincts.
In that sense, I prefer my countryās sauna rules with towels and gender separation and I can actually just focus on sweating instead of pretending that Iām not a sexual being.
I might be able to get used to being around nude sauna users. But I wouldn't want to be nude myself when using a sauna. Unortunately, I live in an area that doesn't have any single Texitilsauna within range. Looks like the only way how I can ever sauna in my neighborhood will be by suing the owner of a sauna.

I assume that you havenāt watched any American TV shows for the past couple of decades. Nudity and gratuitous sex scenes are a staple of the American entertainment industry.
