Remember when a goon was just a low-tier career criminal, naive patsy, or a disposable thug? Pepperidge farm remembers! This picture of Magik just made me shrug nonchalantly. As in I acknowledge she's pretty. I acknowledge I can see a bit of her cleavage. But she's dressed respectfully. If I saw Illyana on the street corner she would not stick out like a sore thumb. I would just assume she cares more about expressing herself through fashion than I do. (Mostly because I cannot afford to!) I didn't even notice the leash attachment right away so if I'm a gooner I'm slipping up badly!
I don't know what art schools are like now in the current year of safe spaces and walking on egg shells but one of the first things one of my professors did is make us draw a naked woman he invited in. As in you could see her. Occasionally talk to her. You could even smell her. It was not an unpleasant odor. Just a very human one. What I'm saying is she was real, warm, and occupied space. No one giggled. No one looked to the floor nervously. No one left because they were triggered. We just did the assignment.
"Well, well, well! How the mighty have fallen, gooner!" Yeah, I draw erotic art. That's easy to surmise. Not as if I go to great lengths to hide it. I'm a soul inhabiting a biological form with biological urges. If you EVER put me on a pedestal that's a YOU problem, buddy! I'm no one's "Wholesome Chungus" nor would I want to be.
This shame over gazing at human anatomy, appreciating beauty, and harboring sexual urges has to cease. Not all of us came out of the absolute nightmare of the current public educational system or consumed soy and microplastics until all our libidos were reduced to self righteous limp noodle apathy!
Appeal sells. Sex sells. When authority or society tries to suppress such things the Streisand effect makes them even more popular! This is not a declaration to live as a Godless hedonist. I applaud the pursuit of a moral and honest life. I know I'm a broken person in certain ways. But we should be at peace with the natural proclivities that make us who we are.
Trust me, you probably do not want to see the search histories or the hard drives of the sanctimonious squeakers whom try to weaponize "gooner" as a buzzword of shame. It almost always is the most degenerate people whom point at and accuse others of THEIR sins!
