My comment on the Open Source Boob "Project"

[lady_kishiria]

My breasts are not open-source. They are licensed and that license doesn't transfer freely to other users. Although I'd be very frightened to find pirated versions of my breasts sold by street vendors in Kuwait.

And you might have to employ your hubby to go after peddlers of "derivative works". ;)

OK, what? Color me stupid, but "the Open Source Boob 'Project'"? When did this happen, and is there money to be had from licensing my breastices? There's got to be something they're good for other than flopping and causing me back pain.

Google it. It was an event at Penguicon, which many people are now boycotting, where you could come up and ask a woman if you could feel her breasts in order to "demystify" and "desexualize" them.

Many women called bullshit on the whole thing and there has been much snark.

eosin explained it to me.

WTF, I don't want random strangers feeling my boobs. D:

What's there to demystify about boobs?

[vanatru.livejournal.com]

Oh crap. I'm totally lost on this one.

WTF are you talking about? Black market boobs? At least we ain't seeing black market moobs (man-boobs). At that point the elderly, white politicians in this country will take notice and step forward to stop this horrible, horrible thing.

However, Teppy-boobs are ok. One can never have enough of Hoobs (Harp-boobs).

Behold.

Basically, nerds using the time-tested excuse of desexualizing the female mammary gland in order to grope them some boobies.

Thanks for providing the link for me, shadowcell!

I ph34r this nonsense taking off at Comic-Con.

Perhaps people are misinterpreting Barack Obama's campaign slogan. "Yes we can!" does not apply to everything. Sometimes, no you can't.
