      Yep!

      And we’re still the sexuality phobic weirdos of the developed world, which stems out of our puritanical backwards forerunners.

      Glorification of gruesome, bloody hyperviolence all day baby, we’ll show it on a loop on the news for the kiddos! Don’t forget to like and subscribe!

      One flaccid dick or vagina in public, on the other hand, and everyone loses their minds!

      This is an us thing. We are the prudes of the developed western world. “Omg a boobie AAAAHHHH my child is scarred for life!“

          The puritans are dead an buried and the only quaker I see is on my steel cut oats.
