dantheclammanKentucky State Fair removes ribbon-winning miniature after realizing it depicted a porn set
southsamuraiIf they actually removed it, and didn’t have anything in the rules about topicality or humor, they suck and should be ridiculed
FiniteBanjoHe got to keep his ribbons, he wasn’t disqualified or anything and his other miniatures stayed up.
Eh, we have nude statues in public places, paintings too. Like, not in museums, in the open.
This model isn’t even nsfw at all, it just references the subject of pornography, with one specific “genre” that’s exemplified by a brand.
But, hey, they didn’t penalize the maker, so it’s all good to me :)
If you take a statue of a Naiad and have it stuck in a basement window or on it’s knees gesturing with a cupped hand, or even with just torn pantyhose and handcuffs, you’re probably going to get a lot of complaints.
There is tasteful and agreeable and it’s a very blurry line into inappropriate but the line is there.
Flying SquidThere is no nudity in the miniature. It’s an empty room. This is literally an “if you know, you know” situation.
Its an actual 1:1 faithful recreation of a porn set. Cheek prints and stain included.
I’m aware of what it is. Because I’ve seen porn. Like I said, it’s an “if you know, you know” situation. If a kid sees this and knows what it is, that kid has seen porn. Otherwise, it’s just a room.
Somebody who knew didn’t like it and now people like you are filling up my inbox making a stink about it.
Whats your problem? Other people aren’t allowed to be upset about things you like? Their feelings don’t matter?
They’re allowed to be as upset as they like. People get upset about all sorts of silly things. That doesn’t mean they need to be catered to.
And what do you mean your inbox?
So you acknowledge their feelings but you wish them harm, got it.
What are you even talking about?
People are offended by statues of Martin Luther King, Jr. Should we take them down because those people are upset?
Tolerance for all except the intolerant. Porn sets aren’t a protected class but keep ypur hopes up for the year 2412
I want you to think deeply about if all porn is inherently artistic or if porn depictions have a separate circuimstance.
YeetPicsYou’re being fucking weird, mate
LMAO
Getting mad that some other guy’s porn set miniature can’t be left on public display is weird, mate.
Whatever you say, weirdo.
This isn’t porn, it’s a hand-crafted miniature. Which, yes, is art.
Yes, I read it. That doesn’t make it not art.
Michelangelo’s David is a depiction of a nude man.
Furthermore, Piss Christ, the controversial photo of a crucifix suspended inside urine is also art.
You are not the arbiter of what is art.
Listen, I view a lot of pornographic artwork pretty regularly. I wouldn’t put them up on display at the state fair, personally, nor would I be angry if the person who did so had their works taken down by workers of the state.
Again, you are not the arbiter of what is art.
And you are saying some things about yourself that are quite hard to believe, like how your personal inbox was filling up with complaints over this.
Nobody but you is discussing what is or is not art.
You above:
I want you to think deeply about if all porn is inherently artistic or if porn depictions have a separate circuimstance.
Me:
This isn’t porn, it’s a hand-crafted miniature. Which, yes, is art.
Then you pasted an image underlining how it is a depiction of a porn set, which surely implied that you were saying it isn’t art.
So is it art or not?
Art or Not Art doesn’t decide if it stays up in public.
Let’s look at the instant replay.

Look at that. I didn’t say it wasn’t art. Wow.
Okay. No they don’t. Because they are art.
