Is it sexy because you cover it up? Or do you cover it up because it’s sexy? I think both are true, and it forms a cultural feedback loop. ---

Yup. And then one year the styles change a bit, and first everybody’s shocked. And then nobody notices ankles any longer. And so on. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Yeah, take that shit to the _step_MFs thread. Well played. I really wish people would drop the hijack. Everyone gets Japanese porn wrong but believes they are experts. No, tentacle porn is not mainstream. No, interracial porn is not mainstream. No, you cannot find deeper truths about a society because of fringe porn. No. LGBT acceptance is not anywhere close to what it is in blue states in the US although probably not as bad as really conservative areas. Anything further needs to be takes to another thread. ---
