Nudification apps and the whole concept behind them are so dumb. There are thousands if not millions (or more) of naked bodies out there for you to look at. And when you’ve seen a handful of penises or vulvae, you’ve basically seen all the variations. The former’s either cut or it’s not and comes in a few sizes; the latter can be an innie or an outie, with the labia minora potentially being larger (or smaller, sometimes virtually nonexistent). From a purely scientific background, what a random person’s genitals look like are not a great mystery. It’s one way or the other, it’s pierced or it’s not, maybe there’s a tattoo down there, maybe a mole. Maybe there’s hair, a lot of hair, trimmed hair, or no hair at all. But once you’ve seen a fair few combinations, none of them will really surprise you.
The difference, and the problem, is you’ve never seen any of those genitalia combinations associated with that person or that face. So on one hand, it’s stupid — why devalue someone you know IRL when there are so many examples of all the combinations out there, in many cases, sorted for you! On the other, with all the combinations being known to most adults, why would you even want to devalue a person by associating them with one type? Wouldn’t they have more value in you not knowing? Why reduce them to that label when you could know them as a person and experience all the diversity of opinions and thoughts as opposed to… meat? It’s not a good look for us, as a society, to pursue this kind of thing. We should be embracing diversity, not… reducing people.
