The Hypocrisy of Censorship: Violence Is Allowed, Artistic Nudity Is Not

In recent years, I have thought a great deal about how the people who control the media are true hypocrites. Across every network and platform, we see absurd news about violence, robberies, accidents, wars, murders, and other completely negative subjects. These repulsive topics are open for everyone to see: adults, children, and teenagers can come across violent images and videos that fall outside the bounds of human normality.

However, artists who work with nudity, such as painters, photographers, and models, are prohibited and completely censored from posting their work. Promoting our work is complicated. Everything is considered sensitive, shameful, or absurd by those who run these platforms. It almost seems as if these channels were created by puritan saints. Jung already observed that the more puritanical an agent tries to appear, the more rotten they may be inside. I have no doubt that the agents who control humanity’s communication are among the worst kind of human beings.

You can show a hit-and-run scene, but you cannot show a pair of breasts in an artistic way. If you are truly awake, you can see how absurd this is.

What also contributes to this is the fact that people witness these absurdities and remain silent. The world is the way it is because people have kept quiet. They believe the man in a suit who says he wants to save the world. They believe pastors. They believe obvious lies. They kneel in churches.

Today, it is very difficult to find people who truly think, people detached from cults, beliefs, and sick communities. At this moment, I see more light in artists, because they are beings who have ignored society’s fallacies in order to work with their creativity.

Here, I continue doing my work, despite the giants getting in my way.
