U kind of see the point of objection if someone drops his pants in a picture that everyone can see.

This logic always confounds me. We are born naked, our natural state is to be without clothes. Worse still we are born into a society whose rules are based on a religion we may or may not subscribe to, but we still have to follow these rules under penalty of enslavement (prison) or physical harm to our bodies. Those naked bodies we were born with which offends some sense of religious propriety.

Ah, careful.

I _understand_ the point of objection as soon as we're entering nudity, because that is something utterly oppressed/objectionable in most cultures I know about. No use pretending that nudity isn't censored, be it natural or not.

Do I agree with that though? Is that my stance? No, I tend to think the approach here [1, careful if you are overly sensitive or consider even wikipedia articles about nudity in culture obscene/inappropriate] is a much saner way to live. It's just not globally applicable and I won't try to force that on others.
