Personally, the Hellenistic style is my favorite, and I think the statue is beautiful. It shows a woman as powerful and strong, yet delicate, as she gently alights on the ground.

The Hellenistic style is beautiful because their ability to depict fabric draped over the human body was second to none, literally fucking incredible, I can not describe how incredible it is to get a sense of how you can make the feeling of ultra thin see-through fabrics in a STATUE.

This monstrosity on the other hand makes her look like she’s wearing a curtain rather than a lightweight piece of fabric. It’s terrible to compare it to the Hellenistic style. It’s so bad it looks like water instead of fabric.

The only reason I can come up with for doing it this way is prudishness. He or the artist was afraid of the nudity that the ultra-thin fabrics style depict. She looks thoroughly covered up compared to the Hellenistic greats. Even the ones that were largely covering up the woman depicted were less prudish than this, look at how the fabric wraps her leg:

Yeah it’s little things like this that tell you who they really are.

Educated proletariat.

This is not new (2023) but I don’t really have anywhere else to put it.

This works for teens and twenty-somethings but at thirty+ it starts to look like someone dressing like a child, which is fine if you’re ok with it but not really something you can just go out in outside of specific occasions. I’d like to make it work, while not being british aristocrat, while also not looking like dressing below age. This is kinda complex and difficult for a style that’s probably best described as dressing like a toy doll though.

I’d love to do something like this but if I dressed this way with my accent I’d just look like I’m cosplaying as a British colonial aristocrat in summer.

A massive effort post detailing all the reasons many famous historic figures were tankies that people have been white washed on would probably be useful. I’m pretty good on figures like Einstein, Mandela, any of the Panthers, etc because I like dropping them into convos regularly but not so much on some others.

Ahh that’s the paper on downvotes existing at all being a bad thing. I don’t recall whether public vs anonymous votes was in the same paper.
