Thanks to ChickenonaMug and others who responded thoughtfully and without attributing some frankly bizarre motives and inferences to my post.
Despite mentioning that I did not expect my post to be popular, I am accused of taking a view in order to appear “cool” and “nice”. Despite saying that I adore Posie and asking if others remember Mary Whitehouse I am accused of public shaming Posie as a “prude” (I never said that) in part because she is “old” (I am old enough to be her mum).
My post was made in good faith. I was sexually assaulted several times as a small child as well as being flashed at and having my hand grabbed and placed on an adult man’s crotch. These were all terrifying experiences.
Finding it funny watching little boys competing to see who could pee highest and furthest did not blind me to danger when grown men exposed themselves to me.
I expect some of you might now argue that this makes me even more of a “fuckwit”.
I still wonder what impact this cartoon has actually had on children. It is out there and children have seen it so it should be possible to find out. If has resulted in children being less alert to danger, more likely to be groomed, etc. then that information is invaluable.
I do take on board what PPs have said about ulterior motives for normalising public nudity. That does makes me wonder however, something that hadn’t occurred to me before because it relates to actual nudity rather than a cartoon, what the impact is on children who grow up spending time on naturist resorts. That would be useful to know, if it has been studied.
