“He said that his feelings about the cover began to change “just a few months ago, when I was reaching out to Nirvana to see if they wanted to be part of my art show.”

Mr. Elden said he was referred to managers and lawyers.

“Why am I still on their cover if I’m not that big of a deal?” he said.”

Seema to me he’s trying to hurt the band because they snubbed him. It seems he wanted to use the band to promote his art and they turned him down.

Also I like Curt Cobain’s response to the pushback on the 1990s cover:

She noted that Mr. Cobain once suggested putting a sticker over the baby’s genitals after there was pushback to the idea for the cover.

The performer, who died in 1994, said the sticker should read: “If you’re offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile.”

People Forced to Register (PFR) must stop caring or worrying about if their actions might appear to be sexually inappropriate. They certainly should never care what any Registry Ahole/Supporter/Terrorist (RAST) thinks. There is nothing wrong with PFRs yelling “Smells Like Teen Spirit” all the time.

If a PFR avoids certain activities or whatever, they are supporting the idea that it is appropriate for society to impose that upon them. They are giving legitimacy to insane ideas like “all PFRs should always avoid all children” or whatever nonsense (e.g. “areas where minors congregate”). That should never be allowed or accepted.

I expect there is a very tiny percentage of PFRs that SHOULD avoid certain activities, perhaps even ever being alone around children. Those people should do whatever they need to do to keep themselves and others safe. But certainly don’t let RASTs impose that on you. Do what you need to do but exclude them from any discussions or decision making. RASTs have unstable, dysfunctional brains and are not capable of the best, fact-based decisions.

Personally, I live a completely normal life and that means that I’m around children all the time. Heck, I’m often the adult that is responsible for them. I’m not going to worry what anyone thinks of that. In fact, I’ll go out of my way to do just about anything they fantasize I shouldn’t. That is what the Registries deserve.

There was a lot of backlash a few years ago because Dakota Fanning filmed a rape scene for the movie Hound Dog, where all it showed was her face and no nudity.

So it got me thinking that the way our society is going, you would not even be able to deliver a baby Austin Powers style because simply implying nakedness would be CP

I’m waiting for a doctor who delivered a baby to get charged with child molestation. Betting that won’t be too far off.
