Reflections From a Murky Pond

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. 😆

Spot the difference in the result of questioning the validity of an election? Yeah, it’s pretty damn easy to do so. The lone American gets a different, worse result for questioning election integrity. Of course, the simple truth is that, when an American is elected it despite Democrat malfeasance, and when a Democrat is elected it is because of it. There’s no need to question the result.

No; the only real question is what we, the People are going to do about it and about what they Democrats are planning for the upcoming election. After all, since the Dems have proven that they have one law for themselves and another for Americans, why should we allow them the luxury of protection under our laws?

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.

“We’re better than you.” This is in my researched, considered opinion the only right attitude for an American to have. Anyone inside our nation’s borders who doesn’t have this attitude is a drain upon America, an enemy of America, and a threat to America. As such, they should be driven out of our nation or reduced and destroyed.

And, for any foreigners who might read this: replace “America” with the name of your own nation. The right attitude should always be that your nation, your culture, and your people are better than others, most definitely including America and Americans.
