Man, I'm finding a lot of new things this week! Surprisingly solid! With this, we're reminded once again that Yes, It Can Be Done!
Today's moment comes from the Miraculous Adventures comic, specifically Issue #3. That's based off a series that's fairly recent called Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat-Noir, which also happens to be a kids series. Sadly, I don't know all the details.
This is a moment I just love. In a previous issue, Ladybug's clothes were stolen, so when she detransforms she ends up nude and has to hide. Technically speaking, this is actually a continuity error since she was wearing a swimsuit in the issue they were stolen. Still, this is great for the fact that they bother to have this kind of thing in a kids' comic with no problems.
Oh, and get this: this was written by the French team, but the comic producers say it's okay because, and this is a very important "because": "No nudity is shown". See, THIS is what I'm talking about with regards to what's acceptable. Since the privates are totally hidden, this content is okay. Nudity doesn't HAVE to be sexual, and it's great that they preserved the writer's vision. Read More »

Sigh. My job will never be done. Just a few years ago, a no good, know-nothing executive put the hammer down and proclaimed "No Girls Allowed!"

The scariest words in the human language are "Think of the children!" Often times, these words are being said by people who know nothing about children, but think they know more than them. Case in point, a bill in Japan called for the end of "pornographic content", but was so vaguely phrased it basically meant censoring everything to the ends of the earth. When prodded about stuff like Shizuka's bath scenes in the cultural cornerstone Doraemon, the bill's owners said "that's an example of things that won't be censored."
So when a new Doraemon movie comes out and has a scene where Shizuka's clothes accidentally get vacuumed up, and her butt is shown in the process, you'd expect the people in charge of the bill to keep their promise and not censor the Shizuka scene when it aired on TV, right? Read More »

Wouldn't you know it, I just found this pic today! Pretty cool, huh?

I don't quite know why Sakura is sleeping nude, but the situation is funny in how she realizes quickly she overslept and has to do the whole morning routine. There's plenty of room for jokes here, like how Sakura has so many different outfits that choosing the right one would be hard, or how she'd practically be in a hurry to get into her outfit, trying to get dressed while running... heh, that's not a bad idea. Should hit up Xierra when I get some cash.

It's that time again: Role Reversal time! Thankfully, I don't have to worry about the Savino ep for a while.

It's that time again: Role Reversal time! Thankfully, I don't have to worry about the Savino ep for a while.
So this one comes from the episode of Dexter's Lab titled "A Hard Day's Day." The funny thing is that this episode happens to feature a lot of nude Dexter. This is one of those moments, Dexter being undressed out of his pajamas by his machine in his morning routine, and sliding down something like the Batpole to change into his regular outfit. It's definitely one of the more notable shots of Dexter's butt in the series, and we see it a LOT in this ep.
So, for this one, Darkton93 and I collaborated on a fic to reverse the situation with Dee Dee. For this segment, Dee Dee throws her regular clothes into the air, jumps out of her pajamas, then flies right into them to dress in the air. And just like Dex, there's a nice big shot of her butt cuz exact change only. Read More »

And we're back! Things'll be a tad slower since I had to nix Savino content, but I'll do what I can.

And we're back! Things'll be a tad slower since I had to nix Savino content, but I'll do what I can.
We'll start off with this silly little comic. It's a nice humorous scenario with "how do you do that" followed by a demonstration. It's fun, it's cute, it's everything I've ever wanted. Oh, and the colors are thanks to Darkton93. Thanks, Darkton93!

HIATUS ENDS TOMORROW

Tomorrow marks the end of our hiatus and the beginning of another official week. I'll try and find some thanksgiving stuff, but expect that to mostly consist of football. Sadly, because of our temporary ban on Savino content, our golden girl Lynn Loud will not appear. Sorry.
Also, today is International Men's Day! Now, that may sound like "white history month" or "straight pride", but hear me out. With the recent sex abuse allegations with people like Chris Savino, Harvey Weinstein, and Al Franken, it begs the question as to why all these are coming out within the same interval. Case in point, a previous time I talked about some comments our president made that were taken out of context, disapproved by the women who they were told to.
So what does that mean? Well, putting aside partisan party politics, it's led to a lot of people believe women because apparently "women never lie". Uh, newsflash, EVERYONE LIES. And people will definitely lie if they think it'll get them power, and don't tell me you wouldn't; even the smallest lie is, by definition, a lie, or did those cartoons teach you nothing? A bluff is a lie! Read More »

Since I got a Twitter lately, I thought I'd expand on one of the thoughts I had on it. Consider this a bonus post.

Since I got a Twitter lately, I thought I'd expand on one of the thoughts I had on it. Consider this a bonus post.
I've often heard a lot of people on Tumblr complaining about sacrificing an outfit's "quality" to please the "cis heterosexual males." That statement comes laced with a bunch of unfortunate opinions, most prominently that "cis heterosexual males" being pleased is somehow bad by virtue of them being "cis heterosexual males", whereas "cis heterosexual females" being pleased by sexiness is somehow okay. That is, Conan is fine, but Slave Leia is not.
So what I'm thinking is, the issue has been corrupted. It's not about (or shouldn't be about) whether or not an outfit is "too sexy". It's about what that sexiness serves. If the sexiness is used to build character for either the person wearing it or the person who assigned it, that's different. If that purpose flies in the face of the armor's practical purpose, then it's just an excuse. Everything about a character should indicate their personality or that of those around them, not just be used for cheap thrills. Read More »

UPDATE ON HIATUS

Hello, hello! I hope you all enjoyed your Halloween! I sure did!
So here's our update. We have completed the Role Reversal for this week. We are currently working on our What Would It Look Like right now. Our No Girls Allowed! will be another Shizuka scene, so sorry if you're sick of those. I will start perusing my galleries for a good Yes, It Can Be Done! and Mature Musings. Or Friday show will be an essay that I think you guys will like.
Now for some unfortunate news: Due to recent snafus involving Chris Savino, all of his work has been temporarily suspended from this blog. That includes Dexter's Lab Seasons 3 and 4, Powerpuff Girls Seasons 5 and 6, and, unfortunately, The Loud House. That last one was the driving factor behind all this, since the snafu happened during his time there. All Savino-related content will return when Read More »

HIATUS BEGINS NOW

Hiatus has begun again. There's some final thoughts for the adults if you're in NSFW mode. See ya later!

The week is over, and our hiatus has begun. With that, I leave you these final thoughts.

On a memorable blooper of Family Feud, the question was "Something you find in any horror movie." The contestant responded with a girl running without clothes. He was teased for his answer, and got buzzed incorrect.
Sad thing is, he's not exactly wrong. A while back, I did a run of the Friday the 13th movies in honor of the day itself landing in October (and I'm surprised a new one wasn't released that day!). I started to play a drinking game with the amount of times certain scenes happen, stuff like Window Kills, Failures to Secure the Kill Against Jason, Kills After Sex, Kills After Baring Breasts...
Yeah in case you couldn't tell, there's a lot of unnecessary nudity in that franchise. Despite how cool the first movie was, the movies seemed to really go all out with female nudity and sex scenes, and I'm not really sure why. Read More »

Let's showcase some sexiness, shall we?

Let's showcase some sexiness, shall we?
Here's a fun picture! The guy is so hot, they had to censor his nipples! Stuff like that isn't often seen with males as much as females, but the guy's body, combined with his pose, means we simply had to! I think I saw this in Kill La Kill once or twice...

How'd you spend your Friday the 13th? I spent mine laughing at all the sexism in it. It makes a great drinking game!

Here's a picture I really like for one simple reason: It's more focused on Fluttershy being beautiful as opposed to sexual. The female body is very much attractive, and this shows it in a good light that's more like an art piece. Though one must wonder why she's nude in the first place, given how shy she is. Maybe she's not BodyShy...

Ask ArcRoyale #6

Another week of motion, another question. Let's get on it, shall we?
Today's question goes something like "Dear ArcRoyale: I think the reason that male nudity is used for humor most often is because it challenges their masculinity, that is, it emasculates him and thus is funny because of that, which is kinda hard to do with a woman. What're your thoughts on that?"
That's almost not a question, but I'll try and answer it.
Two things throw a monkey wrench into this argument. First, there's male nudity used to titillate the audience just as their female counterparts are. You know, stuff like The Martian, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, or most of the Terminator movies. That kind of thing uses a lot of attractive guys for sexual purposes, making it pretty similar to female nudity of the same kind. Read More »

Here's something the Fox censors are too scared to do! It's another time where we show the answer to the question of "What Would It Look Like?"

Here's Lisa, totally embarrassed and totally nude. I originally got a pic that had her pearls, but I decided to have them removed. If she ever got her moment on the show, this is what it'd look like. Maybe she looked like this while she was swimming in the Fermentarium... whatever that is.
