censoring nudity

To test limits happens quite easily: limits are somewhat odd.

Testing begins when we get naked. Nudity is very badly tolerated even though art is filled with nudes, especially women. They usually are reclining nudes or bare-breasted embarrassingly trying to hide their bosom. For me I am naked even though I am fully clothed, this is the gaze and comments I get. Banning nudity online does not make it better, it makes it worse. People who have never seen a naked body seem to be on the edge and falling over, surely Finland has more open culture what comes to nudity, many people are just ashamed and scared: what happens to fragile minds in this world, to those who see naked breasts happens something out of the order, which is intolerable and wrong. To explain why and how I am porn is that I am measured and seen as a porn object always, that is the default setting and why I am for, have always been which I have to constantly fight and it is tiring. To be an underwear model would be an ideal profession for me surely. To lose 5 to ten Kilos would go perfectly with that, wouldn’t it. Taking off clothes does not make the situation much different, only that I can examine what happens and write my reply, contradict in concrete perception on female body which is shamed and too much to take because it is out of the ordinary somehow, I don’t know how that is possible.

Naked female body equals the world going out of its joints, hell breaking loose or falling down as people are dictated by their urges which tells that we are in large sense animals and respect animal urges as frightening posing a threat to humanity. Humans must be fully clothed even in art. How do we explore our body and sex obsessed culture if naked body can’t be put under microscope in public? How do we make an impact which truly changes something in our obsession, fear and loop of old ideas that do not work well in today’s world? How do we show what our culture is all about: women are not allowed to rule their bodies, women do not have right to reflect and see what happens when nudity is and female body is put in centre of the attention? Will you say how sorry you are that women are born porn stars, at least I am, was? It is not enough to say you are sorry, nothing changes. Women must be allowed to set their boundaries themselves. How do we make progress seems very hard and slow when rights of women are in the dirt. This is much about self-governance of one’s body and life.

Vastaukseni Youtubelle joka kieltää alastomat rinnat videoissa ja jäädyttää koko tilin jos osassa videoista on alastomuutta jossa näkyy rinnat:

Videoni ovat taidevideoita ja niillä käsitellään naisen kehoa ja siihen liittyvää ongelmallisuutta, jota tämä kielto on osa eli naisen alaston vartalo on pornograafinen sellaisenaan ja kielletty epäasiallisena, tyyliin imettäminen on julkisessa tilassa heikkohermoisille haitallista. Taiteessa alaston vartalo etenkin naisen vartalo on iso osa koko taidehistoriaa, joten on varsin kummallista, että vielä nykyään koetaan tarpeelliseksi verhota ja piilottaa täysin luonnollinen asia ja vielä naisen itsensä käsittelemänä, miehet ovat yleensä katsojan ja tekijän asemassa. Videoillani ei edes ole seksiä ja tarkoitukseni on juuri viitata taidehistoriaan ja miksi maalaus on eri asia kuin oikea olemassaoleva vartalo. Piirustuksissani kylläkin on varsinaista pornoa, mutta niitä en esitä Youtubessa. Tarkoitukseni on myös tuoda esille tekopyhä kulttuuri joka on hyvin seksi ja vartalokeskeinen ja vihaa naisia. Trollit ja Youtube että Google sen todella tekevät näkyväksi: naisvihan ja tekopyhyyden.

My answer to YouTube for freezing my account for showing breasts in couple of my videos: My videos are art videos and I examine female body and problematical involved what comes to women and their bodies. This ban tells that female body is pornographic as such and forbidden to see in everyday context, for example breast-feeding in public space is for many too much to take. Banning nudity in art is one reason why people have hard time understanding and tolerating nudity as normal. People have hard time with human body even though it is completely natural and should be viewed as such, not something to hide and be ashamed of. Men have been those who look, gaze, comment and view naked women sexually. In my videos there is not sex, there are breasts of mine which obviously are pornographic per se.

My meaning is to have a conversation with art history which is filled with female nudes and what these nudes have been there for on display, what is the sacred and what is abomination, unholy, why painting is different from actual real life image and why nudity is immediately about sex? My drawings and paintings do have sex in them but they too are not for gazing purposes. I examine pornography and culture which is soaked in porn on many levels, so much so it has become normal to pose like a porn star and ask for porn-like sex from a stranger online. My meaning is to question body and sex obsessed culture which still can’t look at female body without it being a disgrace, the body and the woman. It is exactly her which ought to be ashamed not men. It is hypocrisy and misogyny. This culture is kept up by trolls, YouTube and Google especially. It is ok to hurt, stalk and violate privacy but to look at nudity in art is too much to take.

Censoring nudity is the weirdest rule of all in our time of openness and sell off… All seeing eye is watching.

| Henna Timanttimetsä

Time of hypocrisy is obviously never-ending. I wonder why is that? We are terrified of uncovering. What is frightening about truth? It must be ugly. It is so terrifying that there are those who wish to act as watching men and women to preserve our civilized cultured fun and good times. What is so disturbing in nude human body that it is feared, loathed and made a root of all problems especially female body? Or is it, the human body and sexuality which follows us, such a troubled and sensitive area we simply cannot tolerate it as everyday imagery. This root of all human behavior and mess of ours we have to deal with and accept as part of us is under constant pressure, but not to be seen as it is.

We are grown into our intolerance. Plain nakedness is primitive and an abomination revealing us in a way we do not want to be revealed. Nudity means something (what does it mean?). It is the fucking, the never-fading animal, sexuality and desire, sin and corruption, shame and humiliation. That we have to hide it unless we are selling a product with the help of sexing up. That is ok. It is even more than ok when money is involved. Logic gets even more strange. We do like the sterile atmosphere of human contact and thought unless it is an ad of a large corporation. Taboos are and remain there left without permission to deal with them. The inescapable taboos torment us for a reason, often without logic we hide them and avoid reasoning with them. It is mind-boggling trying to understand the restrictions, fears, silence, inhibitions, bigotry.

It is also almost impossible to make a fascist change. When there is a restriction of expression how far can it go? What kind of expression is accepted? Where do we draw the line? How depended are of the scene we are at? We are dictated by our scene unless we make the rules change. How much can we pursue to change a mindset no matter how much there is opposition and oppression? If a scene is a jail, we enjoy the work we do, but the jail is prohibiting us from doing our work well, what is there to do? One creates a conflict and deals with it, makes most everybody to deal with the issue. It can get ridiculous if the opposition is of the mind that it is absolutely right and there is no need for change. Ideas of achieved perfection can be blinding.

What comes to those who watch us and why are they given power over freedom of expression, it is them we should be scared of.

Nudity is the loss of privacy, we accept is as a rip off.

Q&Why is cleavage ok but nipples are not? Obsession with breasts with fear of damaging something delicate.
