    Her heart’s in the right place but there are an absolute fuck ton of statues of dudes where the bulge/dick is worn from touching.

    For example:

    “Youth” (uhhhhhhh), Prague Castle, Czech Republic

    “Adam and Eve”, Monaco

    Cristiano Ronaldo, Funchal, Portugal

    And more that aren’t as famous I’m sure. Any statue with noticable genital features is gonna get this treatment no question.

      Who is this Ronaldo guy, and why is he so important that he gets his own statue?

      I keep hearing his name everywhere, but he just looks like a football player to me… What makes him so special?

      Just need another seat for the saddle. It’s also horrible that people do this to Victor’s grave.

      See, when someone identifies a problem, instead of everyone choosing to do worse, we can all do better.

      But it’s moot. This is just divisive rage bait from a bot farm. No one cares about either of these people, but it reinforces the “women are crazy feminists” rhetoric that makes it so easy to radicalize young men into incels.

      Careful there friend, you’re awfully close to reinforcing a negative view towards women/people in general based entirely off of a conversation on the internet that is most likely fake anyways.

      Golly, you’d have to be a real stupid jackass to let that happen, huh? Just a completely brain dead, ignorant, son-of-a-bitch.
