Naked Men Cause a Stir with Museum's New Exhibit
from web site
Art Of Naked Men Gets Censored
Really. This article came out because of a brand new exhibit in the Leopold Museum in Vienna, Austria called Naked Men. Well now, are not they just asking for trouble with a name like that? The museum promoted the display by putting up posters around the city of three male soccer players, nude aside from their knee high socks and cleats.
Let us face it: the sight of nude guys disturbs peopleeven in Europe! Picture if it were live guys, like in San Francisco.
The museum had posted images of full-frontal female nudity without any issue, so this backlash was supposedly unanticipated. The WSJ reported, Some are whining the images remind them of sex or sexually traumatic experiences. Wait, reminded them of sex? They're genitals. And I am fully sympathetic with those who have endured sexual abuse or injury but nonetheless, I do believe it's a pretty extreme reaction.

Oh. This is why they are also quoted on saying the intolerance toward male nudity is partly religious established.
But is that any reason to give in and censor the posters? Must they appease folks who do not desire to see male genitals on a poster because of their religious beliefs?
Female nude artwork by Gustav Klimt, allegedly the most common poster in Vienna right now. But no problems with this one!
In my opinion, the museum shouldn't have capitulated and covered the genitals in red tape! Austria just isn't a Muslim country, which is artwork together with freedom of expression. Why not let folks complain or protest? It is simply depicting the human body as part of an art display. By covering it up, the museum is actually saying that the complaints were warranted. https://service.affilicon.net/compatibility/hop?hop=dyn&desturl=https://rudefly.net is also sending a sign that the body and / or genitals are obscene, always pornographic, black, inappropriate, awful, and every other negative adjective it is possible to think of.
In my world view, the penis isn't any more obscene compared to the elbow. Since the museum had previously posted images of nude girls without backlash, are they saying that the vagina is alright but the organ is lousy? Within my book, that's a double standard since a nude body is a naked body. The red tape is also marring the original art that is a smack in the face to the artist who created it.
I believe it's time for people to protest the censorship! Here is just a little note I prepared that folks can just copy and paste (but personalize) and e-mail to the curator of the display at [e-mail protected]:

Dear Tobias Natter,
It's been called to my attention which you decided to cave to public pressure and are actually covering up the posters for your own exhibit "Naked Men". If this really is true then I find it personally upsetting and offensive. This can be an art display - Since you'd previously posted posters of unclothed females, are you trying to say that a naked man is a thing that is shameful?
I cannot in good faith support such policies and would like one to e-mail me back explaining your activities. Please be aware, that public opinion and pressure just isn't justification for this action.
Genuinely,

Is there anything healthy in consistently censoring the body? Telling http://lovegitararussia.ru/cgi-bin/redirect.cgi?url=https://nudistpics.site , adults and children, that there is something wrong with that part of our bodies? They are merely perpetuating the notion of body pity; a part of American, and I figure Austrian, culture that's harmful and time to do away with. By capitulating, and censoring the nudity, the museum recognizes that there's a problem with nudity and that the nude human form is black and should be covered up.
Centuries after, we still censoring them - Does that sound plausible to you personally?
What do you think? Or were they right when they chose to cover them up?
