  • It might have been bizarre, but it was fucking original and mind-blowingly clever. Not the ruminated original stories, but something really new and exciting.

    spoilery mentions

    Living ships made of biological matter?
    Not detectable by the force and therefore a real threat to OP force adepts?
    The masochistic nature of the Vong might have been a bit too much, but it was full of unique ideas that were usually interwoven really well.

    I need to finish reading the series. I got about half way through.



  • They are not totally wrong. But not totally right either.

    What we perceive as sexual and how we react to it has strong cultural and social influences, of course there is also the baseline biology.

    There was a time when women’s legs were “tobooed”, since being considered as highly sexual and delibaretly hidden.
    Nowadays it’s no issue at all if women wear clothes that reveal their legs accross all occasions.

    So there is some form of habit to it. If we are used to seeing naked body parts in non-sexual contexts, then we will see similar normalization in this regard as with legs or other body parts and areas.

    We might benefit from normalizing this. Among other effects, this could help to counter many legal and social issues people have with revealed body parts between genders.
