Hrm. I’d been using the rule of thumb “swimwear okay, lingerie not okay”. I can see that some workplaces wouldn’t allow even bikinis, but I’m not familiar with the specifics of such codes, or how widespread they might be. Do you have any references to help me determine a better rule of thumb?
Are the things in that compact new to your audience?
I’ve recently exchanged some email with a prominent libertarian authour, and while there are similar sorts of ideas, such as the Covenant of Unanimous Consent , none seem to fill the particular niche this Compact does.
I’m hoping to have a third part written, in which the narrator asks “What would the world look like if libertarianism was a poor social tool to accomplish your goals? What would it look like if it was a good tool?”, drawing heavily from Methods of Rationality’s chapters of Draco questioning blood purism.
It’s not just the type of clothes, it’s the posture and the expression. And if you say that “lingerie not okay”, then “torn lingery with visible nipples” should be even more nsfw, no?
Aha—I now understand where we are seeing different things from the same image. I asked the artist to draw a modified version of a bikini, with a “furry” visual gag that in addition to the usual two human-style mammaries, she also has two pairs of nipples further down.
Ah, right—I don’t think many readers got that, it would have been more visible if the other nipples had prominent breasts.
The “flowery” pattern around the edges of the clothes make it look like lace lingerie, not a bikini (I don’t think I’ve seen bikini with that kind of “crenelated” edges).
