Vulva Spaceship aims to counter prevalence of phallic spacecraft

 

A German feminist art group has revealed a vulva-shaped spaceship concept, which it is encouraging the European Space Agency to help realise in order to better represent humanity in space and "restore gender equality to the cosmos."

 

The group Wer Braucht Feminismus? (WBF?), which translates to "Who Needs Feminism?", created the Vulva Spaceship concept to challenge the convention of phallic spacecraft design.

 

The yonic craft was designed to signal inclusivity and the group has started a petition on change.org calling on the European Space Agency to consider the project.

 

"The project adds another dimension to the representation of humanity in space and is communicating to the world that anyone has a place in the universe, regardless of their genitalia," said the organisation.

Someone needs to tell these mindless idiots that's not how spaceship design works...

That’s just, like, because science, man…

My take on the issue: Bezos's rocket offended them A LOT.

And you do know he wanted it that way in design.

 

Tons of other rockets don't look like that. Gahahahahhah

I get that this is "art", but it seems to imply that somebody got offended and upset by the shape of a rocket.  Granted, I'm not at all surprised seeing as people get upset about literally everything these days.

Just waiting on somebody to sue Elon because their child watched a rocket launch and was offended by it.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not?!
I'm sure some people are dumb enough to think like that, but could they really start the design process without finding out that the cylinder shape has advantages apart from looking like a penis...? I guess by spaceship design they mean drawing...

I'd suggest it's not a "joke" but a commentary using parody to make a (potentially misguided) point.

I found out at about 14 years of age, that I was addicted to the vulvular shape.

I'm reminded of a Russian sci-fi movie I saw in a theater as a kid, Imported from the Soviet Union and edited by "King of the B Movies" Roger Corman, together with his young writer-editor Francis Ford Coppola (yes, THAT guy). 

 

The trailer is "most interesting" if you watch starting at about 50 seconds in:

In case nobody else "got it" (but for Mr. Montage), the goofy battling genital aliens were created, built, puppeted, filmed, and edited into this Russian sci-fi movie for US release by Mr. Coppola in 1962. (It was scary to this 8-year-old in 1962.)

      I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
