Kentucky State Fair removes ribbon-winning miniature after realizing it depicted a porn set - Lemmy.World

If they actually removed it, and didn’t have anything in the rules about topicality or humor, they suck and should be ridiculed
He 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.

There 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
'The Simpsons' fans say it predicted Michelangelo statue outrage

A US school principal was forced to resign after parents protested over pupils being shown the statue

NME
I want you to think deeply about if all porn is inherently artistic or if porn depictions have a separate circuimstance.

You’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.
