If websites ban historical photographs of indigenous or pre-colonial nudity, then it's not about sex trafficking because the historical subjects are dead.
It's very hard to teach indigenous history when I can't share images of most tribal people at all.
It's impossible to show womens history in Indonesia when women in Indonesia traditionally had exposed breasts until the 1940s.
How can anyone see what African women were like before Islamic conquest in Africa? Or tribal South America? Or ANY historical people who, for any reason, enjoyed the freedom of letting their skin feel fresh air?
It's cultural erasure. It's anti religious freedom, because they're forcing the entire world to adhere to cultural norms introduced by christianity/islam, instead of acknowledging the rights of other cultures around the world who dress differently than us, worship goddesses, or have different belief systems that actually respect women or equality or bodily autonomy.
Historical photography of pre-colonized/uncolonized people is NOT obscene content and to degrade women of any culture by calling them "obscene" is morally wrong. Female indigenous history is being erased under the guise of ending "sex trafficking." (Of dead people??)
Of all the criticism I've heard against the fosta/sesta law, I haven't heard a single soul argue in defense of indigenous historical photography. Clearly there's already so much ignorance that this never crossed anyone's mind.
I'm still not over the fact that as a grown woman and actual owner of breasts, I am not allowed to see breasts. I can't even see my own breasts because some xtian dude thinks my body is a sin, or something. Babies see breasts every day. They're safe even for toddlers. Sexism is the real reason we're being censored in case that wasn't already painfully clear.
It's hot and I can't take off my shirt but I'm expected to be tolerant of men who flaunt their freedom by being shirtless in public, which is rude because they know we can't, yet somehow don't feel at all ashamed for flaunting it in our faces that we don't have equal rights thanks to some long dead missionaries of a religion I don't even belong to.
