I think it's interesting that in conceiving "nasty" icons, the images are almost entirely either violent or scatological, rather than sexual (the bare-breasted woman being the only exception I noticed). I imagine a few possible explanations: a) the creators considered sexuality too risqué for what they were doing, b) they considered it not nasty at all, or c) the emphasis was on a childish nastiness, rather than a grown up one.
It may speak to the relative acceptance of violence vs sexuality in our culture?

- rquantz 13y agoAh, so there are! I don't know how I missed those. Still, that's three out of 45.

- Goopplesoft 13y agoThis comment totally adds to nothing but the overanalysis in this place is pretty wicked. Its a damn icon set...
- fractalsea 13y agoUsing the word "nasty" to describe nudity makes me very sad. I can imagine a very small niche of sexual practices that I would label in this way, but to regard sexuality in general as "nasty" seems ludicrous to me.
