It does present an interesting theoretical question though;
Saint Teresa did practise body mortification quite
enthusiastically.

Would it be okay to portray a religious person flagellating
themself on commons, considering that it isn't sexualized,
and apparently on the other hand, the strictest part of
Jimbos new "order of the day" seems to relate to BDSM
depictions on commons?
