If you're going to make a political statement about being naked in public, you should at least have a dick that's bign enough to be visible; otherwise, it just looks like you're overcompensating.

They aren't hurting anyone else, so good for them for living the life they want to live, and who cares about the judgment!

I don't care what they do. Just don't see why it has to be inflicted on normal, civilized human beings.Guinevere wrote:They aren't hurting anyone else, so good for them for living the life they want to live, and who cares about the judgment!

If you're not craving judgment (at least hopefully supportive of your decision), why post your photos?

True, but they all appear to be willing participants in that project, even including comments with the images.
FWIW, I say more power to them; there's nothing wrong with nonconformists.

A few of them might be non-conformists, but many are just stuck conforming to the norms of a group they joined as adolescents.Big RR wrote:True, but they all appear to be willing participants in that project, even including comments with the images.

Skinheads and Mods, for example, are not non-conformists; they are just conforming to the style of a particular group. An Elvis impersonator is most definitely not a non-conformist.
This is a non-conformist. They may be others who now imitate him but he expresses a personal style both aesthetically and artistically which is completely egregious:
