  • People here saying consent (fair enough) but let me tell you, clothes are suggestive. There is more to suggestion and context than the actual content. Is anybody shocked to see a nude statue in a museum or something? Or in a painting? Now how about somebody wearing nothing but a g-string and a harness? You can argue the harnessed person in a gstring is less exposed than any nude. I say no. Clothing adds to the exposure sometimes. Underwear isn’t meant to be seen, so when it’s seen, it prompts judgement.












  • Some, yes, but that was not the case when photography emerged- the time when paintings were the way of showing and recording what things looked like.

    Even today, most food porn photos are of prepared meals, not so much harvests which was the classic still life subject back then. I’d risk saying most people prefer paintings of harvested goods to photos even today, although you do have photos of them of course. Finally… People use paintings to embellish their homes and to display their wealth, which is not the case with insta images.
