Reflections From a Murky Pond

Five years, give or take a bit, Markey and AOC introduced their idiotic, woke socialism disguised as environmental action, the Green New Deal. Of course, nothing came of it.

A Green Deal Americans Would Accept

See? There’s a fine new green deal Americans would not only accept, but wholeheartedly get on board with. American’s love green deals, just not ones that do little to nothing other than transfer the wealth from the makers who earned it to the takers and eaters who Democrats pander to. Americans would far more prefer and endorse a green deal that both provided us with children and didn’t try to prevent us from passing on the wealth we earned to them.

I love and laugh at this, though I’m fully cognizant of how few people will understand why I find this funny, or why in the world I titled it “Vintage Japanese Prison Porn.”

So, let me explicate…

Why Vintage Japanese Prison Porn

• The art style is a fusion of Western Cartoon and Japanese Ukiyo-e, which also influenced Western art;
• She’s obviously a high-ranking Yakuza, probably an oyabun, given her level of tattooing;
• The origin of Yakuzas’ tattooing is from 17th-19th Centuries Japanese practice of irezumi kei (tattoo penalty), where criminals were tattooed as part of their punishment;
• She’s tied up Shibari or Kinabku style – you pendants can argue about which term is right – which was derived from Hojōjutsu, a method of restraining, torturing, and displaying prisoners in feudal Japan.

So, there you have it – why my humor and snark was engaged by this image and why I’ve titled it here as “Vintage Japanese Prison Porn.” 😉

Here’s an odd bit of humor. I’m still occasionally hearing the term, Granny Panties. But that’s a bit of – actually more than a bit of – a misnomer. Nowadays, those aren’t granny panties; they’re great-granny panties or even great-great-granny panties. 😛

Yeah, just to make the point clear, thongs started in the 1970s as swimsuits and became popular in the 1980s as underwear. Hence, it was younger Boomers and Gen X that first adopted them. So, for the younger generations, granny panties look more like this:

That’s right, Kiddos. Your grandmothers wore french cuts, brazilians, and thongs as a normal thing. She didn’t wear what are still called granny panties except on rare occasions. 😆

Women have changed a lot over the years, especially between the 1970s and the 2000s. Some of it has been actual progress, though not much of it. But, in these times, the changes have gone strange and destructive. Actually even more destructive than most realize, since the current trend is essentially saying that any failure as man can choose to declare themselves to be a woman instead as a lesser, fallback position.
