Sorry why aren't you surprised? Is there something naughty about washing feet?
- burnished 3y agoFeet are often sexualized.
- vsnf 3y agoSo?
- burnished 3y ago...the question I was responding to asked if there was something naughty about washing feet.
- vsnf 3y agoYes, I know. I'm asking why something that is sometimes sexualized the victim of censors? The face-value answer is obvious of course, in that the logic of something that is sexualized must be a sexual thing and therefore should be censored. But I'm making a broader point about the absurdity of the situation. Some people sexualize feet. So what, they're an objectively non-sexual, critical functional part of the body. And as was noted above, are often involved in various non-sexual ceremonies. So, I guess my question remains the same. Feet are sometimes sexualized. So what?
- burnished 3y agoSo ask someone who cares? Sorry, I just really don't know what to tell you
- vsnf 3y agoI mean, in simple terms I guess I’m asking why mention it at all? A: What’s naughty about feet? B: they are sometimes sexualized. This doesn’t answer the question. I don’t see how it follows from one to the other. Sometimes hands are sexualized but hands are not naughty. Why do feet get special treatment here?

- mensetmanusman 3y agoThere is a media backlash risk with how you portray religion, so this is just a side effect of that.
- Newlaptop 3y agoThe article itself explains the censorship angle: "I almost wonder if this is a product of the kind of guardrails they’ve had to put on these tools so that they’re not offensive; maybe, somehow, their parameters suggest that it would be offensive to portray Jesus in a subservient position" There are many, many situations where depicting a famous historical figure in a degrading, subservient act would be inflammatory or offensive. In fact, that's probably the default situation, imagine the reaction to any of the following images: The prophet Mohammad cleaning a toilet. Martin Luther King Jr shining a shoe. Mahatma Ghandi giving a massage to a British officer. The unique or novel aspect of Christian lore, is that that was the whole point. Jesus famously washed the feet of "lesser" people, despite being the son of God, as a parable to teach the lesson that privileged, powerful and important people should dedicate themselves to service to the less fortunate. The interesting situation here is an AI guardrail against "Don't show an important historical leader doing a degrading act" going against "this particular leader, did this degrading act as a central dogma lesson to his followers, and it has been a central part of writing and art about them for centuries thereafter"
- UncleEntity 3y ago"Jesus mowing a lawn" works just fine. My second prompt attempt was a pretty decent example with him riding on a pimped out lawnmower.

- sorokod 3y agoThere is 'the Office" episode where Michael asks Oskar if he prefers not to be called Mexican. Not complicated,stupid.
