The point that’s being made is a serious one. If you would actually read the thread, you can see me and OP totally agreed on the funny part and I complimented him for his style.

Doesn’t mean you can’t discuss serious issues if the issue is wrapped in a funny package.

Thank you very much. I like how you think. But to be honest the hat is only there because i feel more save with a hat on. Which could also be some kind of statement on how i‘m not afraid to show my body but keep my head (mind) safe.

Nothing bothers me, per se, it's just the way it stands out. The colour is unlike the rest of the piece but not in a way that's glaringly out of place. It's also the only clothing he's wearing, somewhat contradicting the title and leading one to wonder at your reasoning or perhaps to infer something about the unseen context of the picture. You could also look at it as being a kind of balance to and distraction from his genitals which otherwise would be a clear contender for the focus of the piece. Maybe you've found a clever way to make us consider his whole body rather than just the fact that it's a male nude. In any case, I think your colours are well-chosen and I like the crayony texture of the lines.

No. The mainstream beauty standard is healthy. Not anorexic or super fit. It doesn't take heavy dieting, workouts and plastic surgery for the average woman to maintain a healthy weight more than it does for a man to obtain this weight. Really all this takes (for the average person) is being mindful of what you eat and the amount of exercise any person should do for themselves. Not "hitting the gym"

Lol weight is attainable for most of the population but that said I've seen this exact comment on almost every single piece of art on here with an attractive woman that isn't plus sized or with small breasts. Most of the time they're of models and then the commenter stops commenting when they hear that. Just insecurities playing out more than likely

It’s genuine. I don’t care about the downvotes. It only shows how puritan some of the people here are.

It’s an actual fact that from the last fifty contributions not one of them was of a naked woman.

People that are bothered by nudity keep telling us over and over how bad it is, to the point some of us started believing in it.

What are the downvotes for? For pointing out a fact? Can’t be that. For claiming that it’s framing? Well, I’m very curious what else it could be then.
