    USA have really no concept of non-sexual nudity?

    [EDIT] - seems less of nudes and more of full on pornographic pictures, my bad.

      I mean… Not really. But tbh, if anyone feels like “all nudity is bad” in America, it’s the GOP. So, there is significant irony in a party member potentially participating in dissemination - knowing the number of times any involvement in the past has been criticized on these very grounds.

      Despite your edit, from what I can tell of being born and raised in the USA, there isn’t really a concept of non-sexual nudity, outside of locker rooms/campsite bathouses, some restrooms, and of course, nudist communities/beaches.

      Even just taking a leak somewhere that is somewhat secluded if there are no restrooms can land someone a public urination and maybe an indecent exposure charge.

        This is what comes of being largely founded by puritanical moronic zealots. Many of them were the Scientology of their age. Europe was glad to ship them over here.

      This would really be more like non-consensual sexual nudity… Potentially sent to minors who might unexpectedly be exposed to it (presumably) without their or their parents’ or guardians’ consent.

      Accidental or not, my understanding is that the reason she was sharing the photos to begin with was because she believed there was something “scandalous”, embarrassing, and specifically sexual going on in the photos.

        If Hunter were a woman, and likely if Greene were a man too, I feel there would be more significant pressure on Greene to apologize.

          I don’t think so. If Hunter was a woman he now would be shamed endlessly, the focus would be on him instead of the perpetrator and there would be several porn sites featuring his photos.

            Well, that, too, probably. Not to mention all comments like “Why would a woman with grown and married daughter act that way?!!?!”
