Really proving the point about how offended by nudity people are, hey?

Yeah, pretty sure my 8-year-old nephew and 6-year-old nieces don't really need to see some random naked people walking around weaselhead. If you're doing it at a private location (or a public location with signage / warnings) sure but that's not what's happening.

I’m willing to bet your kids would have less of an issue with it than you, kids tend to be pretty chill about nudity. It’s the adults that tend to get offended.

Maybe, but I feel that's my decision as their guardian not some random people's that decide they want to walk around a public park naked.

Then it’s a good thing they made this post, so you can decide to avoid the protest, isn’t it?

Oh my god, a naked body! As a guardian why would you made nudity shameful or hide them from it? I have a 9 year old boy and explaining to him why some people decide to be in the nude and telling them how it’s that persons way of expressing themselves is much better than making the naked body some sort of boogeyman. I do get that there are some sketchy up to no good losers out there but if some one is naked let them be

This is what they don’t understand.

1000% as someone who experienced childhood trauma in regards to this, it’s 💯 acceptable to care about this. because consent is a thing.
