If you think nude statues are tasteless wait until you learn about fine art!

Nothing says "we value you" like demonetization. /s

Yes, unfortunately it's a bit like trying to run a hotel and not being able to take Visa or Mastercard- just Discover Card. Alternatives in this case don't really help, it's marketshare that produces the income.

Not sure the analogy holds when Visa and Mastercard repeatedly warn the hotel they’re violating their ToS, but the hotel dgaf

If the complaint is "your hotel is made of brick" and it's not in the ToS that's a problem. YouTube can't actually cite which of their rules I'm violating- in fact according to their rules I'm fine, and the thing they do have a problem with- my physical shape, would require surgery to bring into compliance with their demands. I'm not doing that.

So you think a Roman temple or senator weren’t commissioning statues of beautiful naked women for effectively marketing purposes? Like people who think anything Mozart or Shakespeare is high art but fail to realize both are full of dirty jokes.

Past achievements should be considered within their timescale. If I build a water clock now, it would be cool. But Ctesibius building a water clock in 250 BC, now that's fucking impressive.

3D printing a human bust is cool. Sculpting a human bust three thousand years ago? That's incredible.

Will those videos or that dressmaker's dummy have any artistic value in the future ?

Please.

My point is different. Is it the same fight? Is explicitly pushing boundaries because you want to be seen as sexualized and have the right to do so the same as trying to push those boundaries while claiming not to aim for sexualization? Honest question as they don’t seem the same. But maybe they are?

Sexualization is in the eye of the beholder. In most cases, men. So men can’t keep it in their pants so women have to surgically reduce their breast sizes to accommodate some boundary of sexualization set by men?

You don't believe they're real, right?

Naomi Wu seems to upset a lot of people. She makes things, and was accused by the publisher of "Make" magazine of being a fake, with some guy doing the actual work. She replied by posting long, detailed videos of her making stuff. An hour of cutting aluminum extrusions with a chop saw and putting together a frame. Soldering PC boards. Eventually, the guy apologized. One of the useful things she's done is to put up lo…

Fairly sure she's already reported being visited by the police over the contents of her Twitter and youtube. In addition to being "outed". While you're suggesting that she do things that will result in her being silenced, for your own laughs.

For any Westerners here who seem to have a hard time understanding why this is wrong: Look at an even more women-oppressing culture such as that of Afghanistan under the Taliban. Women are required to cover their faces in public. Why? For "modesty." What it boils down to is that if women show their faces it could have a negative effect on men (sexual attraction). A lot of people where are shaming her for being essent…

Extremely well said. Thank you.

I totally support being able to express yourself. All power to Wu, but I could not care less about this channel. It feels very misplaced and fake. Feels like going half naked to a childrens party.

I'm aware it's incongruous. The whole thing makes very sensible people uncomfortable because it seems vulgar and unnecessary. And that's going to be the case until I butch up and use my words. Probably won't help much, but it might at least make some sense then.
