    From a certain point of view, it’s weird that society insists that human genitals must be hidden, but anyone who wanted to put pants on animals would be considered crazy. The Wall Street bull sculpture is allowed to have a penis, but a werewolf is sufficiently human-like that even when it has no visible penis, its lack of pants is enough to offend some people. Where is the line drawn?

      Vsauce has a great video on why we hide our genitals, which in short is mostly to prevent the spreading of disease caused by human excrement, and emotions like shame preventing people from being butt naked in front of other people.

      Though that doesn’t really apply in art, and I think it might just be an instinctual disgust.

        Starting with them sounds fine. It’s finishing with them that seems alarming to me.

    So why does “someone complained” mean that action had to be taken? Why didn’t the owner just tell them to STFU?

    If there were complaints, it makes one wonder if the model is anatomically correct and fully functional.

      anatomically correct

      Well I suppose if a movie was intended to be very realistic, then…

      fully functional

      What!?

      Display mannequins in clothing stores get guest complaints if they’re naked, they’re not even anatomically correct there’s just a bump for the naughty bits on the male ones!
