    Originally, the Olympics were performed entirely in the nude. This shouldn’t be controversial.

      Also, judging by the close-up video posted by @PhatalFlaw, he’s as covered as a modern Olympic swimmer.

          Sorry, we don’t work on Sundays 🤷🏻‍♂️

          Try again in September, after the summer holidays.

        Tbh French far right and some Christian are crying here as well. Basically saying the whole ceremony was a disgrace, woke bla-bla-bla, they even criticized the kids at the beginning for being “from immigration”.

        The funny thing is that organizers decided to annoy the fuck out of them when the announcement of Aya Nakamura (the woman singing with the national guard during the ceremony) was received with racism from far right and twitter.

        That day they said to themselves “ok, we’re going full inclusive and fuck then all”.

        That’s a job well done, bonus point for making maga cult cry as well from the other side of the Atlantic.

    “Mostly nude”? Doesn’t that mean not nude? Isn’t being nude like being pregnant, either you are or you aren’t?

      That depends a lot on what your culture says counts as nude. The technical term would only apply if they were completely nude, but a bikini may well be considered nude in certain parts of the world where showing hair is considered degenerate by some.

      Hell I’d have difficulty defining nakedness myself… to stay with the bikini example, depending on skimpiness it leaves nothing to the onlooker’s imagination. It might as well be a simple layer of color over the intimate regions instead, and then we are essentially talking bodypaint which I would say definitely qualifies as nude in my book, but probably not in a lot of other people’s.

      There is some old greek (IIRC) story where some woman should come not at day, not at night, not clothed, not naked (and something more I don’t remember, not walking, not being carried?).

      She went in the sunrise draped in a fishnet.

      He had a costume that mimicked nudity and was singing a song about being nude (something about, if we were all nudes, there will be no wars). So i guess the description mostly nude applies here.
