That's no man. That's a king.

A Burger King?

That second photo is...wow!

Face down, ass up. That's the way I like my happy meal

[–] tyrefyre@sh.itjust.works 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh so that’s why they started taking the statues out

[–] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

That and similar incidents probably played a big part in that decision.

Charging Bull also known as Bull of Wall Street

Of all the traditions one could use to point out objectification of women, statues was not it. People really do just like getting frisky with statues, regardless of gender

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 87 points 8 months ago (3 children)

To be fair, statues are the straightest example of objectifying people.

[–] cadekat@yiffit.net 25 points 8 months ago

Whoa now, I'm sure there are gay examples of statue objectification.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 20 points 8 months ago

You're not wrong. It is literal objectification of people haha ... Just not in the way the OP meant

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Hey now dog statues also get wear down from getting pet. We dont just objectify humans.

Dude's Wikipedia Page is rather interesting. He got shot by Prince Pierre Bonaparte over a proxy duel.

Fuck me I thought you meant Ronald McDonald for a minute there

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 39 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I've never heard anyone say Prince Pierre Bonaparte didn't shoot Ronald McDonald. Do with that (lack of) information what you will.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Sounds like a low quality facts post. "No one has ever cleared Prince Pierre Bonaparte of shooting Ronald McDonald"

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 14 points 8 months ago

"People are saying it!"

In other news I'm considering a career as a Living Statue...

I hear it's a hard field to get into.

But not impossible! Don't let your dreams be dreams.

Hell, people grope testicles on non-human statues.

The post's statue looks cursed as fuck. The guy looks dead and violated. It's worse than the shiny bull balls.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 33 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Yeah cause it's a grave statue. People literally go to a cementery and do this shit. According to wiki it was "kiss lips fondle dick" instead of straddling / grinding, but I guess some people do crazy shit.

But OP the person in the pic is literally asking for this statue fact

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 41 points 8 months ago (9 children)

but will mrs proudman get off her high horse? absolutely not. the path to idiocracy has been chosen.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 36 points 8 months ago

Just need another seat for the saddle. It's also horrible that people do this to Victor's grave.

See, when someone identifies a problem, instead of everyone choosing to do worse, we can all do better.

But it's moot. This is just divisive rage bait from a bot farm. No one cares about either of these people, but it reinforces the "women are crazy feminists" rhetoric that makes it so easy to radicalize young men into incels.

People see men fondling a stature: "Hah! What a hilarious pervert." People see a woman stradling a statue: "She must want children."

[–] crossdl@leminal.space 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Men need to better communicate their domestic desires in sexual pantomime. Like, do a humping gesture but then do a baby rocking gesture then pretend you're playing catch outside. "I'm trying to make a Little Leaguer here!"

She forgot one of the universal truths. Balls are just funny

Some of the bacteria detected, such as Staphylococcus, can be potentially dangerous and can lead to infections including sepsis, conjunctivitis, cystitis as well as endocarditis. For those with weaker immune systems, hand-washing soon after contact with a monument is advisable.

Wear protection, or straight to horny jail.
