What makes this vid sexual to you?RickD wrote:Some things are inappropriate, even when they're called "art".
Just like Cathy Griffin holding the bloody head of Donald Trump, calling something "art" does not make it ok.
Thats like listening to a movie in a foreign language and saying its stupid merely cos you cant understand what they are sayingRickD wrote:FYI,
I had my wife watch the video with me, and I simply asked her what she thought.
These are her comments...
"This is stupid."
"Is that a child?"
"How old is she?"
I'm not sure I'd call it sexual, per se.Nessa wrote:What makes this vid sexual to you?RickD wrote:Some things are inappropriate, even when they're called "art".

Its not nude underwear as much as the colour nude.RickD wrote:I'm not sure I'd call it sexual, per se.Nessa wrote:What makes this vid sexual to you?RickD wrote:Some things are inappropriate, even when they're called "art".

Like I said before, a 30 year old man in nude underwear, dancing with a prepubescent girl in a nude leotard, is inappropriate, at the very least.
I will admit, in my culture, grown men simulating naked dancing with prepubescent girls, is inappropriate.
Call me old fashioned.
And the nude underwear represents nakedness, which may represent vulnerability. But nakedness with a prepubescent girl, also represents pedophelia.Nessa wrote:Its not nude underwear as much as the colour nude.RickD wrote:I'm not sure I'd call it sexual, per se.Nessa wrote:What makes this vid sexual to you?RickD wrote:Some things are inappropriate, even when they're called "art".

The colour is part of the art representing vulnerability
Theres not necessarily anything wrong with an adult dancing with a child. Depends on the intent.
What about the fact that my wife picked up on the girl being so young? Doesn't that tell you something?Nessa wrote:Thats like listening to a movie in a foreign language and saying its stupid merely cos you cant understand what they are sayingRickD wrote:FYI,

Im not saying its ok because its art. I am saying I think its ok and I also think its art/expression.RickD wrote:What about the fact that my wife picked up on the girl being so young?

Look, if you replace the 12 year old girl, with a 25 year old woman, the issue would probably be how bad Shia Labeouf dances. And people would be calling it, "sensual".
Ever hear of Bacha Bazi? In Afghanistan, young boys dress up as women, and perform for men. Some call that art, too.

A relative thought it was funny and "innocent" enough, to put on with my kids in the room.
