NeferkareShabaka

I think the difference is between penis and vagina nudity, no u/nicsaweiner ? That's what people are noticing, Have you noticed a lot of vagina nudity and characters going inside vagina's? Honestly, I barely remembered the breasts so maybe there is and I forgot that too!


wangeryii

Just the first 2 episodes of the latest season will bump everything up.


finnjakefionnacake

technically a lot of those were one dick


CowOrker01

Would you rather see one dick for 10 minutes, or 1 minute of 10 dicks?


ViewFromHalf-WayDown

I fear not the man who has seen 10,000 dicks for one minute, I fear the man who has stared at one dick for 10,000 minutes (or however that quote goes)


armchairwarrior42069

Honestly, that's a lot of time to stare at a penis. I would be pretty scared by this.


No_Week2825

I think it depends on how nice the penis is and how enamored you are to the person it's attached to. If someone has been married to a guy for a while, I'd assume that's easily 10k minutes of penis viewed.


armchairwarrior42069

That's almost 170 straight days. I think you may be underestimating hold long thst is lol Unless you stare at your partners genitals like the creepy kid staring at the fuzzy TV in the exorcist regularly, that's a long time.


Nocturnvs

10,000 minutes is almost 170 hours, not days. And this comes to about almost 7 days, I think that's manageable in long term relationships.


armchairwarrior42069

Hmmmmmm...... You're right and my math is simply not mathin'. Anyway, I'm going to actually disregard that entirely and double down if that's okay? "NOOOOOOOOOO IM USING THE METRIC SYSTEM YOU FOOL!"


Nocturnvs

Please do, you've earned it!


MTri3x

Don't tell me how long I can stare at my partner's dick


armchairwarrior42069

Hey, toneach their own. But that's a lot of time being.... Cock-eyed (Eheheuhuhuheheheueheuehu)

Hey man, sexuality is a spectrum!


finnjakefionnacake

...both?


CowOrker01

Your "would you rather" game is on point.


DigitalPlop

This guy dicks. 


chibro2712

laughed harder at this than I should have lol


CowOrker01

Thank you kindly. May your eyes feast on eleven minutes of 11 dicks.


Very-simple-man

How are your Dms looking?


zombievettech

Either way, I win. Am I right?


CuthbertJTwillie

You know they do screen tests for this. Lots of naked screen tests


Editor_Grand

But why was Splitter rocking a semi the entire time? Seriously, if I had to film a fight scene with fully clothed men, I'm gonna be sooooo nervous it's either going to look like a turtle hiding in its shell or at full mast. Either way, a semi is out of the question.


MatttheBruinsfan

They probably just made the one prosthetic for Benedict, and didn't think through that it would be needed for both his (self-)love scene and his fight scenes.


22bebo

Maybe he was trying to show off for Firecracker. She probably doesn't let him be naked in front of her all that often.


Green-Enthusiasm-940

Was it splitter? I could have sworn they were calling him splinter lol


TheFlute20

There’s been less than 5 minutes of nudity in the whole show?!


nicsaweiner

Yup, and since herogasm has a lot of overlapping nudity, it's even less.


AManOfManyLikings

Even Herogasm hardly had any viewable nudity to begin with! And even if they did, it was all the way back in the blurry background. That doesn't really count there.


vertigo1083

I love a nice pair of boobs as much as the next man. But don't you think you guys are a little *too* invested in gratuitous nudity? I mean, if you need it that badly, theres a whole lot of that and more available in seconds on the internet. Is it really *that* important in a TV show?


pokenonbinary

The show is full of gratuitous violence and gore, why not consensual nudity and sex?


kiyan1347

Most of the sex scenes in the show are fully clothed or just don't show nudity. So makes sense.


Isekai_Otaku

Well yeah, the rest is gore, and also plot


HelloYouSuck

I forgot there was nudity at all until I saw a spread butthole.


SixxDet

Which time?


Traditional_Lab1192

That adds up. There’s significantly more focus on gore than nudity and the nudity always makes sense. I like that


BSye-34

plenty of time 🍆


Iron_Bob

So if we strip out Herogasm, it comes down to... Male nudity: 95 seconds Female nudity: 39 seconds Oi


senile-joe

kripke confirmed gay libtard


iiileyu

Double = trouble


Repulsive_Season_908

So there's zero female full frontal? 


nicsaweiner

Only in herogasm, and only in the background. It looked like it might have even been airbrushed to show less. There must be some sort of rule against showing vulva, like there is against showing hard dicks.


finnjakefionnacake

you can show hard dicks on TV-MA programming (looking at you, Euphoria). I just think more people don't do it because they think it'll make more people uncomfortable / don't want to be viewed as pornography.


nicsaweiner

Huh, I saw an interview with the director of the termite scene, And they said that they had to be very careful about what they showed, because hard dicks were not allowed. Maybe it was a limitation imposed by Amazon?


finnjakefionnacake

Could definitely be a difference in platform/studio approaches. But they showed a hard dick in Gen V, didn't they? I remember Emma hanging off of one. Also I think there were a couple in Herogasm?


Krakatoa137

Pretty sure that one Emma was hanging on didn't count because it was a prop, they built a giant dick so I guess that's a loophole.


finnjakefionnacake

I mean many of the penises you see on TV are prosthetic props (or CGI) anyway, but even if we want to argue that's some kind of loophole, i am pretty sure there were erect participants at herogasm. maybe amazon has its own stipulations, but the main point is there definitely are TV-MA programs that show erect penises.


EtM1980

I wonder if it was SOOOOO close up that it didn’t count (because you can’t totally tell what it is)?


AvengingBlowfish

Uh... go watch the scene again... if you can't tell what it is, I'm not sure what to say...


EtM1980

Do you know what episode it was? From what I remember, I thought it was SUPER close up so obviously an adult would know what it was, but a kid might not realize what was going on.


AvengingBlowfish

I did a Google image search. [Obviously NSFW.](https://i.redd.it/7pwevchqa1wb1.jpg)


EtM1980

Thanks! I see what you’re saying, but I could also see it being a tricky grey area with censorship. It’s possible that because it’s so big it’s not obvious enough where it counts. Or because it’s not an entire penis, it’s ok-enough. Like when they bleep only the word “hole” in ass-hole. I could be totally wrong, it’s only a guess!😉


[deleted]

[удалено]


dseanATX

Could also be so they don't have to create a different version for foreign markets.


finnjakefionnacake

i'm pretty sure they already censor/cut out these things for foreign markets. people on the sub have been saying how several scenes in these first 3 episodes were changed for them


DigitalPlop

That is extremely interesting. If a flaccid dick starts to get hard, at what point do they have to blur it? Half chub, three quarters mast? I'm so curious now. 


JasonVeritech

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_censorship_in_the_United_Kingdom#Mull_of_Kintyre_test


DigitalPlop

Angle of the dangle, so scientific! 


undercooked_lasagna

The first episode of Gen V has a woman literally sliding down a gigantic erect penis. Or rather, a tiny woman sliding down a smallish erect penis.


asexualincubus

I love that even though the total count between each gender only has a 30 second difference, the male nudity is more common. Like more than half of the female nudity happens in one episode but the male nudity is well distributed throughout the show Good job, dude, I love having this information. Can you do an update at the end of season 4?


JustinWendell

If you take out herogasm it gets really lopsided. Which is interesting.


Ape-ril

Yup, it goes to show people weren’t exaggerating when they said there is more make nudity and especially penises but no vagina.


KillerKangar00

i would also argue that male nudity is even more common (frequency-wise) than it seems because 3 of the instances for women is from lamplighters porn, 2 pop claw shots, and 2 entries for herogasm (which is mostly background nudity). so that’s 7 unique appearances of female nudity. whereas the male nudity is almost all unique and not repeated, with exceptions for lamplighter and herogasm.


xShenlesx

yeah and honestly # of separate instances (and whether it it's the focus of the shot or in the background) are probably more meaningful metrics than just straight duration would also be interested in analyzing nudity for shock/grossness vs nudity intended to be titillating, but that's another study for another time


DAC_Returns

But the nudity is in no way equivalent. Male genitalia is common, excessively graphic, and often the centerpiece of the scene. Female genitalia is borderline non-existent. And not just in this show, but across Hollywood. Would it kill American media to show some vulvas at a comparable level to penises?


g0blin-fr0g

r/dataisbeautiful :')


Willie-the-Wombat

I think the reason people complain is male nudity is more obtuse. All the female nudity (breast) are in the background, not the focus of the camera and most of which is herogasm. Also the context and level of the nudity is quite different. Would you put a penis and breast on the same level? And as for context all the female nudity is too show how hot/sexy they are with the exception of the old lady boobs. It’s when they’re at a party, or in porn or on popclaws poster. With the men it’s more that their a joke to be laughed at especially in the recent season.


MeatyPhilospher

How dare you, old ladies boobs can be sexy too.


Objective-Set4145

Go home Soldier Boy, you're drunk.


MeatyPhilospher

No! You're drunk pal.


DanCross0

See Helen Mirren for proof.


MeatyPhilospher

Preach brother.


Aegillade

Yeah I think the context is what really bothers people. Female nudity is, at worst, treated as shocking. Male nudity is almost always reserved for jokes or gross out moments.


Ruty_The_Chicken

only because it's written that way. Marvel literally just did naked Thor which was sort of written as funny, but half of it was because he's so hot it made all the women and a lot of men faint.


finnjakefionnacake

yes, but in talking about the boys, pretty much all the male nudity is definitely designed for humor or gross out factor.


SalvationSycamore

Some people do put boobs and penis on the same level which I find insane. Like the ones that complain about breastfeeding in public, they often say mind-boggling shit like "what if a man had his penis out huh?" 


Superguy230

Yeah my friend that I watch it with complains in a jokey way that the girls don’t get to have gross scenes lol


MatttheBruinsfan

Popclaw's love scene was pretty gross, though I suppose her body wasn't itself treated as an object of disgust.


Lukassixsmith

I think a lot of this is subjective to one’s sexual tastes. I thought a lot of the male nudity was to show how hot/sexy the men are as well as be occasionally funny. Brett Geddes (Termite’s actor) is very attractive. A gif of him expanding to normal height at that season-opening party encouraged a friend of mine to watch the show, and it was not because that gif was funny. Chase Crawford, Alex Hassell, Anthony Starr, Jack Quaid, and Chuck Shurley are also beautiful men. Even though they may be nude for comedic reasons (like power-related shenanigans) I found their nude scenes to be a display of the hot/sexy actors. Something being funny doesn’t prevent it from being sexy. >Female nudity is to show how hot/sexy they are. I still didn’t find any of the female nudity in the show to be hot or sexy, but that’s due to my sexual preferences. I have difficulty viewing women as sexually attractive. And I thought over half the items on this female nudity list were meant to be laughed at or had a comedic purpose. But that could be because I wasn’t watching something I found hot/sexy, so I was more aware of the comedic aspects. Something being sexy doesn’t prevent it from being funny.


ConfusionDry778

I totally agree with you!


ssslitchey

Yeah. All the female nudity happens in scenes that are meant to be sexually explicit (stip clubs, herogasm, porn) where as male nudity is constantly used for gross out or shock humor. Your not going to get splinters scenes in episode 2 with a female hero because then it's not funny anymore its just objectification and I think that's what bothers people the most. Why can't female nudity be used for gross out scenes or humor. Why is it automatically assumed that naked woman = objectification. It's a really wierd double standard were never going to move past if it's never addressed.


finnjakefionnacake

and why it has to be that naked man = depicted as comedy/gross


SuperCoupe

> show how hot/sexy they are with the exception of the old lady boobs. That was clearly the sexiest scene


meatwadsoup

do we count splinters dicks as one or multiple per copy


thor421

Seems that the OP hasn't included Season 4


EtM1980

That would be fair (to leave it out), since it just started.


FWSRunner

Data is always helpful, thank you! Interesting that the difference is not quite as dramatic as I think it's generally perceived.

atodd8720

Are we not gonna count the 8,743 dicks that were shown in episode 3 of the new season?


nicsaweiner

I might make an update once season 4 is over.


just4upDown

Are you considering also including Gen V?


BeginningSilver3785

When people ask what does a Data Analyst do, Il show them this


SuspectKnown9655

Most of the dicks are CGI anyway


EtM1980

This was my question, I was wondering if they’re real? I didn’t consider CGI, I thought maybe prosthetics instead.


gitagon6991

For the Termite scene, it seems they used both a practically made artificial dick and a CGI one. Same for Gen V.


EtM1980

Oh yeah, for something super close up like that, especially with a tiny person, I would expect CGI. I was more referring to something like the splinter scene. I wondered if his dick was real or prosthetic (unless it could be CGI)?

They sure like killing women and showing dicks🤣😅😂

I mean a ton of men have been killed, a few of them with their dicks out.


shinigami_15

Outfresca'd


trubs12

In my country, dicks in this show are usually blurred except Love sausage scenes I think. But they forgot to blur Lamplighter porn scene and that episode was unavailable for a day.


delulumans

What country may I ask


trubs12

Japan. It's not just The Boys. Gen V, Game of Thrones, Shameless, True Blood as well


-Random-Gamer-

Game of thrones without nudity damn


trubs12

They blurred only dicks. I think only Theon's torture scene was blurred.


Super_Majin_Cell

The funny thing is that if you change the audio to japanese, but you are in another country, is still not blurred out, so i was thinking that Japan had not censored it.


North-Star-07

You forgot Soldier boy's ass briefly shown when he was first released.


Yain_567hy

I salute to your dedication 🫡🫡

SensitiveGrowth4378

We need more people like you! Willing to go digging for the shlongs and nips. Well done!


gitagon6991

The gender make up of the cast definitely has an impact on the imbalance. The main cast has like 2 girls with Kimiko and Annie. And its highly doubtful any nude scenes would come from them. Meanwhile the rest of the cast both on the heroes and villains side are dudes. Even the random villains of the week that get some minor focus are more likely to be male than female. For female characters. we have Maeve: (highly doubt the actress for Maeve would ever do a nude scene), Starlight, Kimiko (the character is unlikely to be involved in any sex-related scenes), Neumann (similar thing given her role in the story) and that's pretty much it for the recurring cast. Pop Claw and Stormfront did get some sex scenes but nothing too explicit both on their end or their male counterparts.


just4upDown

Annie, Ashley, Becca, and Stillwell also have sex scenes. Maeve didn't go nude but had sex scenes. The one was aggressively tasteful while being graphic without nudity in S3.


senile-joe

I would think it's pretty standard to not make any of the main cast have to do a nude scene unless its absolutely necessary. Do any of the guys get nude except for hughie's butt?


Crytin09

USA! USA! USA!


3atth3rud32452

The people thank you, sir.


SedativeCorpse

Where's the supercut?


8004MikeJones

I applaud you for not getting tired and going through with the effort, I know it can be brutal. In high school I had this gig that had me to take movies, compare them and their content in reference to MPAA rules and guidelines, and document what should be edited or changed to get a G rating instead(timestamps and all). One of my films was the second Thor movie and omg that sucked. The job drove me nuts. The only bright side was I got to download new releases once they were publically available immediately.


guttengroot

I started reading your post wondering if the character splinter counts as one dick on screen or several when he makes many of himself. Thank God you were counting the seconds instead. Now if there are two dicks on screen, does that double the number of seconds for that time?


nicsaweiner

The time does not increase per dick on screen.


2L8Smart

Out there doing the lord’s work! This is awesome!


SomethingAvid

Are you a scientist? If not you should be a scientist


self-extinction

I think a more strict genital-to-genital comparison would be a better metric for getting to the root of the long running question of imbalanced nudity. How many seconds of vagina are there? I'm reasonably certain it's zero.


arthur3shedsjackson

what a progressive show


bruhholyshiet

Impressive, very nice. Now let's see Paul Allen's dick.


ProvenAxiom81

The female nudity was tame compared to the obscene male nudity.


SaltbringerIsGood

This post needs to have the highest upvotes of the sub


justheretojerkit2020

No complaints here 🤷🏾‍♀️ I say more dicks!!!!!


Fluffy_Mood5781

Ok but I seriously find it hilarious why people care so much. Almost all the shots are played for laughs like “here’s a hairy butthole because why not” and even when they aren’t it doesn’t really feel like “we got this actor at our disposal let’s try to see how much they’ll let us show.” Just because we’re not wolf of wall streeting every scene with a pair of boobs doesn’t make everyone of the show runners some fetish obsessed weirdo (probably only half) and maybe the reason so little women show anything is because people are literally keeping track of how many seconds their boobs are on screen and why they should be on longer. (Not talking about this post more so the people complaining about it)


Professional-Test713

I really appreciate the male nudity. There is barely any in other mainstream shows.


PlatitudinousOcelot

Male nudity counts as 2 seconds per second and female counts as .5 seconds per second, you didn't account for that.

finally men are being sexualizes like women are


GatoradeNipples

Huh, that's... a lot more even-handed than I assumed they were being about it. I guess dicks are just more memorable.


Raidoton

I think the type of nudity is also important. Like genitals are on a whole another level than a side boob. I want to know about the type of nudity that actually increases the rating of the show.


happynnaked

So 4 1/2 minutes of "nudity" for the entire series through season 3 and that's what people are calling "lots of nudity?" LOL x infinity!
