Fair, then don’t go to spaces where people are naked or look at people who are legally naked. You do you.

European countries do generally allow nude sunbathing and have bathing culture. I wasn’t just talking about Japan.
I can’t attest to the accuracy of the map, but it has to be at least somewhat accurate. I don’t think it’s correct on Japan, as you say. Take it with a grain of salt.
Japan is prudish and repressed in many ways, sure, but they do see the practicality of being nude when you have a reason to be nude (e.g. bathing). Hot springs are a social activity and generally individuals are very comfortable (at least) with being nude with the same sex.
Oh, and there is weight-based shaming and other forms of discrimination/racism there. There are issues and it’s fair to point them out.
That’s sexual though. When I said, “have no problem or less problems with nudity”, I meant non-sexual nudity.
They almost certainly have less problems with non-sexual nudity. There is discrimination against tattoos, for example. I’m unsure how being transgender would work, but I’d imagine that is another area of discrimination and exclusion.
People seem to be culturally conditioned to see any form of nudity as inherently sexual or perverted. It’s not inherently sexual.
I’m aware of at least a few European countries and countries like Japan that have no problem or less problems with nudity compared to the US.
Bathing culture/having public baths or communal showers opens the door to people relaxing about the human body.
Communal/non-sexual nudity really isn’t a big deal.
3·8 days agoThis, but I don’t feel it’s a form of revenge. There’s nothing wrong with choosing to not feed into drama and choosing to not engage with people who wish you ill.
Genuinely wishing those who wish you ill the best and completely moving on is likely more difficult - it’s what I’ve done with several individuals in my life and it’s served me very well.
It was hard and unnatural until I realized that I don’t want to spend my life hating others and being involved in any form of drama. The hate and resentment I felt towards those that participated in my abuse was killing me, but releasing it all and staying in a positive headspace helps me to feel better.
Knowing I won’t get into those situations anymore and appreciating the lessons I learned made me stronger.
How far would you swallow your morals for money?

I’m pretty sure OP went as far as they could…
Seems like the OP meant what I linked. But thanks for the link.
From the Wikipedia page:
In the late 20th century, many Americans with classical liberal beliefs began to describe themselves as libertarians.
I was alluding to that, but I appreciate the added clarity.
“Classic” libertarians were anarchists, communists, and socialists and the term was co-opted and its meaning shifted by capitalists and liberals. That’s my TL;DR.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism#Definitions
Although libertarianism originated as a form of anarchist or left-wing politics,[27] since the development in the mid-20th century of modern libertarianism in the United States caused it to be commonly associated with right-wing politics, several authors and political scientists have used two or more categorizations[9][10][28] to distinguish libertarian views on the nature of property and capital, usually along left–right or socialist–capitalist lines.[11]

It’s a good thing then that countries that have this sort of nudity legal don’t start becoming nudist colonies just because you can legally be topless or nude.
