- jrockway 17y agoIt is interesting that people are so upset about being "naked" on a screen somewhere. I find it much more troubling for someone to root through my consciously-collected possessions. That says a lot more about who I am than my standard-issue body that is pretty much the same as 3 billion other people's. Yet nobody has any problems with that -- only being "naked".
- derefr 17y agoThat's the point: people got to pick their stuff, so they're generally proud to show it off. People didn't get to pick their bodies, so they're generally embarrassed by them.
- jodrellblank 17y agoonly being "naked" Only being naked while being judged by someone with power over you, armed, typically humourless and in control of whether you make your flight or get 'extra processing'.
