I’ve never heard anyone talk about it But I used to play an online game called The End that had like, Mind Soul and Body levels, that asked philosophy questions every level and told you what great thinker your philosophy resembled, and I was listening to like sad indie lowfi meanwhile… Hashtag 13 y.o activities. Anyway I wanna play it again but stoned this time
anyway i looked up the post about seeing your grandmaās boobs and tumblr has deleted the screenshot of the story where the finnish dude says that americans are ālike thatā because they havenāt seen their grandmaās tits
good job tumblr š
there it is!
my comments on that post were (sorry for shamelessly copy-pasting them):
american attitudes about nudity are fucking wild, and the worst part is that because theyāre american, they just assume that everyone everywhere thinks the same. i will never forget seeing people on a left-leaning, progressive site saying that families bathing together is creepy and gross and clearly a sign that something is wrong with the family, that theyād never seen their siblings or parents naked and would in fact rather die. meanwhile to this day i bathe and go to the sauna with my sister and mother and have been bathing and sauna'ing with various family members - and even strangers! - my whole life.
but yes, can confirm, seeing your grandmaās tits as a child does you good, and not just because it teaches you that ābeauty is fake and temporaryā, but because it broadens your ideas about what beauty even is in the first place. my sister and i used to spend our summers at our grandmaās house by the countryside and frequently bathed and went to sauna with her. we saw not just her breasts but also her flabby skin, her moles and liver spots, her body hair and varicose veins, and we didnāt see any of that as weird or ugly because they were a part of our grandma who we loved very much. and when we see those things in other people - ourselves included! - we think āwell it wasnāt ugly on my grandmaās body, so why would it be ugly on anyone elseās body?ā. it makes you much more understanding and āforgivingā, if you will, towards the completely normal bodies of strangers as well as your own body.
I think ive said it before but you really gotta feel bad for oedipus that wanting to fuck your mother got named after him. He really did not want to do that . It is central to oedipus rex how badly he didnt want to do that. Dick move by freud
