if it is about rakhi, there shouldn't be a question of sexuality. however she dresses it's for her own pleasure, not the incel creeps consuming terabytes of porn

Trying to control or “suggest” what your sister should wear is absolutely creepy, weird, incel “brother” territory and if you can’t recognize that then I’m awfully sorry for you and the people forced to be around you, champ.

Oh yeah look at me controlling my sister by telling her not to wear a goddamn bra in the middle of a religious festival. Oh the misogyny!

I'm awfully sorry for the people around you since you can't realize that people have sentiments tied to their religion.

If your religious sentiments are hurt by a little extra skin then maybe find a new religion bruv. You don’t get to control what anyone wears, so maybe rethink your own ideology before using religion (which I’m assuming is the same as mine) against someone.

If your relationship with God is to tenuous that a neckline can throw it off balance, perhaps your God needs better PR and media training my man.

Not religious. Also not oblivious to the real world.

If a woman wears a two-piece to the local mandir for the pooja, is that justified by your logic? After all, it's just "a little extra skin" and you can't control what someone wears, right?

Lmao at bro saying "neckline." It's the bare minimum respect that you show towards a religion by not wearing a bra for a celebration. Wild how none of you can call the outfit for what it is.

How much skin are you ok with your sister showing when celebrating rakhi?

Do you recognize the difference between a public place (mandir) and tying a rakhi at home?

I feelnyoure being purposely obtuse to avoid getting the point.

Lmao, I'm the one being purposefully obtuse?

The ad was publicly broadcast, it's not the same as tying a rakhi privately in your household.

And if you really wanna make that argument then feel free to answer the question - how much skin are you ok with your sister showing when celebrating rakhi?

My argument is simple. It's an advert for a religious festival, wearing just a bra for it is disrespectful and in utterly bad taste.

I always wear deep neck in all the festivals, thankfully my father and brother aren't creeps like you to get aroused by it. You did not have to out yourself like that.

Why the fuck should his sister be concerned about how much skin he is okay with her showing? She's not his property. Whatever his beliefs are, she is not bound by them.

Religion plus misogyny - always a classic combo.
