I thought that is the point

Dark Arc is saying that it is generally considered a bad thing, contrary to the comic which is implying that it is generally considered good or neutral when it should be considered bad.

you guys missed the point. neither should be bad. it’s only bad because of how we sexualize eveything. it’s the sexualization that’s bad, and honestly, that wouldn’t even be that bad if it weren’t for the patriarchal exploitation of sex.

Shouldn’t both be bad? Stop sharing naked photos of people who can’t give you consent to do so.

Hmm, that’s a good point, I was just clarifying what Dark Arc said as far as I can tell. You’re right neither should be sexualized, but in the world we live in neither should be shared IMO.

Still shouldn’t be sharing naked pictures of people without consent and of people who cannot consent

Yes, they both should be bad. Don’t show people photos of naked children.

I think krippix’ point (as well as the comic’s point) is that the first is socially acceptable while the second is not. And that then suggests that the first scenario should also not be socially acceptable.

Last part depends on interpretation. But most likely yes.

I agree with this interpretation

Don’t take pictures of your child naked people

I don’t think it really takes a side … just kind of points out that it’s super weird that it’s more socially acceptable in one direction than the other.

I do hope the author intended for what I said to be the point though.

You’d think so, but a disturbing number of people think the problem is there is a difference, not the nude photos.
