Indecency inside Blood Raider quarters: Statues.

I never thought that Blood Raiders would allow someone like me to rent a quarters in their station by CONCORD license, not speaking about docking rights, but, somehow, they did. This, actually, saved me from staying all the time in gooey capsule for the duration of my business in this hostile space, that I would rather keep for myself.

The quarters interior, however, looked very much like pristine Amarrian quarters, and except the dangerous red banner, nothing seemed wrong at the first sight. I have to say, that I never studied real Amarrian quarters, so comparing them wouldn't work for me. Instead I just wandered around, looking for bad signs. And I found it!

I remember there were statues in Amarr quarters, but I never had time to study them. As for Blood Raider statues, I had a rather inquisitive look at them. I don't know whom these interesting figures, wrapped and pierced by some sort of life support tubes, represent, but I have found they are incredibly indecent!

They are HALF NAKED!

I mean, really! Half of their body is naked and they show one nipple. Believe it! Even in our State, my instructors were always telling that such appearance is highly inappropriate, and they were even beating me if I was appearing in condition like these statues...

I don't know well Amarrian customs and traditions, but I heard about their concept of "Sacred flesh", and Amarrians are always wearing very proper and decent clothes. These blood raider statues totally violate it!

I hope proper Amarrian inquisition will look onto this matter and will secure this Blood Raider statue problem by providing them with dresses.

You desperately need to visit this place I found in Angel space. The recordings of your cultural education and discovery would make their rounds throughout the cluster.

Diana, darling! It is good to see that you are recovering well from the injuries you sustained in personal combat down in the basement.

The statues are Sacred Art, sweetie!

Remember Synthia's gift to Lady Vitalia? The nudity symbolized Power and Righteousness. Why, the breasts seemed to defy Gravity Itself as they rose to greet the Divine! And the magnificent hair, the way it flowed down the curves of the gilded body, you studied it quite closely, darling! You must remember.

How often did these beatings happen?

But in that statue they were covered! With a little bit, but still covered!

These in quarters are TOTALLY uncovered on their one half! I mean, like, COMPLETELY!
This is INCREDIBLY indecent, I mean, have you seen these statues? I bet in Amarrian quarters they are properly dressed!
And I am 200% sure it is indecent in the State. No, really, or I wouldn't be punished. I learned it very well.
Besides, unlike Lady Vitalia, I don't think that part of body of these statues would defy anything, besides... well... old age.

Sounds like Kim here was raised in a far more fun place than I was. I mean spankings and indecency? Makes my upbringing sound positively boring with a mature and reasonable approach to the human body and how to decorate them.

I know, right. In the Federation, we regard nudity with casual demeanor. You could drop a thousand naked people in any gallente city and nobody would care.

I don't recall nudity ever being an issue in my sibkin creche. It's not like the showers were segregated or anything.

Mind you, we were all genied for physical strength and being worked physically pretty hard. There wasn't much variation in body shape between us, until we got into the general population later in life. There were a lot more furtive glances after that point.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

I can just imagine the casualty report details in a military unit if citizens were this sexually repressed:

"Private!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Why did you let your fellow soldier die on the field?"

"Well, they had a chest wound and they were female, sir!"

"So?"

"Well, I simply couldn't imagine giving them field triage if I saw their boobs, sir!"

"..."

It's like reading the script for a parody-caricature sketch show.

Or the female combat medic letting her charge bleed out because she to busy laughing at the size of his penis....

I used to be inspired by the Amarr Captain's Quarters statues. But having become closer to God, I now see that I was in error. These indecent statues are further evidence of the Empire's decline into liberalism.

Nudity on statues is hardly indecent, and similar statues are present in orthodox Amarr places as well. The human form is a beautiful thing. What is indecent is the revealing of it at inappropriate times and for inappropriate purposes. Indecency therefore is a matter of time, place, and purpose--the human body itself is not shameful or wrong in any way and it would be blasphemy against God to believe such. The purpose of sculpture is art, to present timeless depictions of the beauty of God's holy creations, and so there is no indecency here.

It is rather childish to get bothered by such things. Especially when the typical statue in Amarr capsuleer quarters is still more covered than swimmers and manual laborers who work with their shirts off--something that is common in all of the empires.

The only decoration human body needs is uniform and insignia!

This is gross and disgusting! And this is why the Federation must be destroyed!

Taking showers are not public appearance, Tuulinen-haan.

First.
I believe these statues are males, and not females (although I can't be sure).

Second.
If you weren't missing classes, you would know what does public appearance mean.
And if you can't perform your duty only because of inappropriate look, you are just sad kakku, Gesakaarin-hnolku.

Lieutenant Kernher, what would have happened if I myself have appeared, for example, in PIE ball, wearing clothes just like these statues?

That is irrelevant, and shows that you clearly missed the point.

You are not a statue.

So, in your case, they still happen..... Got it.
