voyeurism isn't relevant to our culture?

events,
places, customs, etc. Providing information about
naked people, their
habits, customs, fetishes even: I consider this culturally relevant.
Hosting
a picture looking up a girl's skirt is hardly
culture, and is borderline
voyeurism.
If we're a dumping ground, of course none of this matters at all.

Voyeurism for the sake of itself: no. Just as masturbation for the
sake of itself, sex for the sake of itself, and any other such image
without significance would be judged in the same way. As I said:
just because we can have 4500 pictures of erect penises, doesn't
mean we should.
Quality over quantity.
