    This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

            it wasn’t always “body worlds”!

            there was a scandal almost 20 years ago now when a copycat exhibition opened in Paris and strangely all bodies had east-asian traits. There was a petition against it later on as the bodies were found out to be coming from Chinese prisons.

            https://worldcoalition.org/fr/une-exposition-de-cadavres-dorigine-douteuse-interdite-a-paris/

            ECPM et Solidarité Chine ont mis en avant les origines troubles des corps présentés, qu’ils soupçonnent d’appartenir à des condamnés à mort et à des prisonniers. « Il s’agit exclusivement de corps de ressortissants chinois, masculins, jeunes, et ne présentant aucune pathologie particulière, de sorte que l’hypothèse de la mort naturelle de ces hommes paraît improbable »

              I’m pretty sure I saw this exhibition in Las Vegas. I assumed it was the more famous one when I entered, but the more I saw, the more I realised all the bodies were Chinese. Closer inspection of the promotional material put the clues together.

              It was fascinating because human anatomy is cool, but knowing they weren’t voluntary donations really soured the experience.

                I saw the same exhibit in Vegas and came to the same conclusion about halfway through after noticing all the bodies were Asian. Really soured the experience and I wouldn’t go back or recommend it to others.

        Because it’s roughly in the same class as extreme gore, even if produced for a very different, educational purpose. I think there are likely plenty of workplaces where having the equivalent of extreme gore visible on your device would be a problem.

        That’s why.

          I can somewhat understand not wanting to see it, but it literally is not gore. There is zero gore in image. Gore specifically refers to blood.

          I don’t think this should be marked NSFW though. There’s a lot of things people can argue they don’t want to see. Some might not want to see swear words, for example. It doesn’t mean we need to censor everything for them. This is tame and should not really be upsetting for an adult. It’s no worse than what you’d see in an anatomy book. It’s not reveling in this person death, or anything like that. It’s just organs.

            Nobody that I know of said that it was gore.

            The literal point of “NSFW,” i.e. “Not Safe For Work,” is that things be marked that way that could cause problems if viewed in a workplace. That’s it, and nothing more. I don’t mean to be rude, but what you go on to argue has nothing to do with that.

                Exactly. At no point did I say that it was actual gore. I was making a functional comparison for the purposes of the NSFW context.

                Are you really trying to tell me that you don’t understand the point of the NSFW label?

                  I still don’t agree that it should be NSFW. What workplace would have an issue if you had an anatomy textbook on your desk, for example? You see this as being vulgar, at the same level as watching someone get hit by a car, as an example. I fundamentally disagree. This is purely scientific. Even for entertainment, I don’t think we should NSFW art with nudity, for example. That’s absurd. Porn? Sure. Equating all nudity with porn is the same as equating this with extreme gore.

        Do people need a NSFW tag for a commonly eaten food item? No, probably not.

        Any other penetrating questions to ask?

          Still a bloody part of a murdered being. The corpse in the picture is clean and was in all likelihood ethically sourced

    This is such a cool exhibit.

    But because I have no remaining faith in humanity, I sort of expect to someday learn that the whole exhibit was created on a 3d printer in a garage, while the bodies donated for science were re-sold or tossed out (or never actually accepted in the first place).

    Even if it was 3d printed, it would be an amazing work of science and art, anyway.

    Sorry. I should probably believe in people more.

      Shit you’ve got more faith than me, you think the bodies are fake or donated ethically and tossed out, I’m wondering just how ethical the source actually is.

      “You have angered the state, prepare to be skinned and sent to the Chicago Museum of Natural Sciences!” (before someone tells me that isn’t a real place it’s because I made it up.)
