Are the normies ok?

No

Look up Ironlily. Most of her works are slice-of-life wholesome drawings set in a fantasy medieval European-like military camp but everyone is a cute girl (including a landsknecht with a sus codpiece). Toplessness happens casually in non-sexualized ways such as at bathtime but it’s not common. The girls show varying degrees of fondness and romantic pursuit among each other, and it never gets explicit. It’s arguably ecchi but as mild as it gets.

Yeah, sometimes people use loli stuff which is definitely a red flag for pedo behavior IMHO, but posting with a MILF is quite literally the opposite xd.

I am interested. Sounds like classic reddit.

I honestly think it’s about the same…

I’m still allowed to be horny for art though right?

It is art.

i mean, i don’t know how it is in other countries, but here we literally study art with nude people in it - Liberty Leading the People is part of the 8th grade national curriculum - and looking this up, i even found a teacher’s blog about class activities they did on it with 3-5th graders. i also recall having studied paintings depicting people having sex in 8th grade latin class
it’s also not uncommon to have statues of naked people in the middle of town centres - and nobody is making a fuss about it “not being art”

it is art, it used to be recognised as art for a long time, but now it seems like more and more people have a double standard, where old art depicting nudity is valid, but modern art depicting nudity isn’t

I’ve had multiple partners who hate wearing bras and try to avoid it when possible. But they generally wear something thicker to hide it if they’re going out. I’ve also had partners who prefer to wear them all the time even when relaxing. Bodies are different and weird.

I can only speak from someone living the West Coast of the United States. During the summer, it’s probably about 1/3rd of girls are braless. That number varies by age group of course. But most people don’t care and plenty partake in the “free the nipple movement”.

I don’t remember any girls in the streets going out without a bra at least in my real virgin life

wut? really?

I haven’t worn a bra in maybe 6 years. But i also only leave the house once a month lmfao. I’m in PNW

Human figures are easier to draw without clothes on. This is true of all figure art, not just anime.

Draw the figures first, get those accurate, then add the clothes.

Here in Greece where the weather gets hot as fuck in the summer, and where we get an incredible number of tourists, it’s not uncommon to see some of them (one every two days for example, if you work around the busier places in the centre of the tourist city I live in) be braless.

Mostly younger (white, probably middle class) women, but I think people are slowly being liberated again with younger adult Gen z, after a big sexual closing-off that happened last couple decades.

Bras are soooo uncomfortable, I never go out with a bra unless I absolutely have to

Wait what? Where do you live?

You’re missing out

I see it all the time IRL in summer. I live in France though so that probably helps

They had to draw a woman doing it because, in reality, the subject would be an unwashed cretin with cum stains on his cargo shorts.
