This only seems like porn because we live in a culture founded on Judeo-Christian taboos against sex and the female form. I wouldn't assume it was in any way pornographic in its own time and context.
- puppycodes 1y agoSorry but if you think Christians invented objectification you are sorely mistaken. There are 34000 years of other examples to choose from. It's an example to illustrate how long we have been into depecting explicit forms, for pleasure, for art, or otherwise.
- krapp 1y agoI didn't say anything about objectification, I was referring to pornography. Pornography as a concept in Western societies was entirely invented by Christians. The same concept does not exist elsewhere in the same form except where the influence of Western colonizing powers forced it upon native cultures, and I guarantee it did not exist 46,000 years ago when the Venus of Hohle Fels was created.
- puppycodes 1y agoIt's literally just an example of how long we have been horny. Your definition of porn is way more narrow and modern than what i'm talking about. Use a different word for it if you want but explicit imagery that people masterbate too is what I mean. Go off on your liberal arts dissertation though.
