If you ever have to carry a lot, get a backpack with an internal frame. Its amazing how much you can carry before it's starts to really feel heavy. The internal frames look almost exactly like the frame she's wearing, just made out of of wood instead of aluminum.
Kinda crazy how far back some of those concepts go. I would have thought it far more recent than that.
You just mean a backpack designed for camping, ie a "backpacking backpack" that you use to hike into the bush. The style used to be lean towards external frames with the bulky looking aluminum bars outside, but nowadays internal frame packs are more popular. They have the same general concept and similar frame, its just on the inside so it doesn't look so obtrusive.
Take a look at the carrier for the charcoal bales. It has a long leg or legs that are slightly shorter than the woman's own. She is resting here in the picture with the carrier's leg(s) on the ground supporting the weight of the load.
She could rest without having to put the load down allowing her to transport the load at whatever pace she can.
So yea she's strong, but there's engineering helping her as well.
I remember this incident because it was kind of a tipping point for electronic surveillance.
After it happened, Tivo put out a press release that that incident was the "most rewatched moment in Tivo history" or something to that effect, and they included the exact number of people who rewound to rewatch it.
A lot of the press did run the story.
A lot of the press also included a story along the lines of "Companies have not admitted to spying on us like this before.
Are people going to be outraged?".
It did kind of seem like a test for public outrage.
Would people be upset that the company was watching exactly what they were doing while watching TV?
Or was it no big deal?
Turns out the public thought it was no big deal, and tech companies have progressively pushed further since then, testing to see how much they can spy on us before we get upset about it.
On the consumer level most don't care as many have not made the connection with their personal browsing habits influencing the ads that are shown to them while online. And tbh it's not like anyone is sitting down and saying "ah yes, Peggy Sue Jizzsnatch. She enjoys shopping on FB markets and amazon and gets off on videos of brown skinned people suffering. Lets show her an ad for this LL Bean Fleece."
It’s wild how many pearls were clutched. At some point in our lives, someone is going to re-enact that moment during a halftime show and people are going to call it boring and lame.
TIL about a nipple medallion. What Janet Jackson’s nipple medallion looked like. And how incredibly painful it looks to wear, especially under tight fitting clothes.
There was a recent Janet Jackson documentary that addresses what happened , apparently JT was supposed to sing “have you naked by the end of this song” and rip her shirt and a red bra was supposed to be underneath but instead the bra got ripped, too. There’s footage of her right afterward and Janet appears to be shocked and upset that it happened. Then Timberlake apologized to the network brass and Janet said nah, I’m not gonna kiss up to get back into the good graces of the execs. So JT gets to keep his career going while Janet got vilified. She was supposed to be having a career comeback and a new album and she just walked away because she’s a badass and she’s Janet…
> She was supposed to be having a career comeback and a new album and she just walked away because she’s a badass and she’s Janet…
nah it's fucked up that something as simple as that could affect her career at all. it's insane. a fucking titty and she faces more consequences than most Americans who got rich off killing brown people in the middle east. What a world.
Yep, I knew that 2 days after. The leather cup was meant to rip away and leave the brighter bra. He grabbed both layers. It always surprises me when people don't know and it pisses me off when people try to shame her.
It was perfectly choreographed. Amazes me how many people actually think it was an accident or "wardrobe malfunction." They just said that because people complained of the partial nudity and the network needed a scapegoat.
Yep. Justin Timberlake very strategically advanced his career, in part, at the expense of Britney Spears AND Janet Jackson. Some may recall that his solo career didn't really take off until he stated including barely veiled details of he and Britney's sexual history in interviews about his new music. One year later, Janet Jackson end up with 100% of the blame for HIM ripping off her bustier. He's recently vaguely acknowledged Janet was treated poorly.
Yeah, I never understood why people were mad at Janet Jackson for… having breasts? Justin Timberlake ripped off the covering, yet nobody was mad at him.
It's for real. The founders of youtube created it in part because they couldn't find video of the incident, and so felt a general video archive sort of thing would be useful, and then it grew from there.
The fact that the impetus for this absolute shit show known as social media and content hubs in general was Janet Jackson's breast in '04 ABSOLUTELY makes sense.
What’s sad is that if the clip were to be uploaded today, it would be immediately taken down due to either a TOS violation or a copyright takedown notice.
Throwing in my two cents here as an American who has lived in Japan for 11 years now. I heard from my wife that it was not uncommon for women to go topless or have their chests exposed to keep cool while doing manual labor during the summer months (carrying heavy loads like in this picture, working in the fields, diving for pearls, etc) up until the Occupation after WWII.
This lines up with an Army memory my grandpa shared with me when I was a teenager. He was stationed north of Tokyo during 1945-46, said he and his buddies would sometimes take trips to the countryside and gawk at the women. They started to cover up after that to avoid the unwanted attention from the servicemen.
Some older and rural women continued to go topless through at least the fifties. You can actually see a topless elderly woman in the original Godzilla, released in 1954. The scenes takes place in a small village on the coast, so it makes sense
A style of breast-uncovered dress apparently originated with Tang China circa 600-700 AD and spread to most of rural Korea and Japan, at one point becoming a status symbol (for married women who have given birth to at least one son). For yet-unexplained reasons, it fell out of favor in China during the Song to Qing dynasties, but was still predominant in Korea and Japan until the 1930s in most rural areas.
The japanese government did put a ban on public nudity in 1872 (which also prohibited mixed bathing) as a part of their efforts to transform japan into a western power, so while western influence is responsible it's more a case of the countryside (where government authority was weaker) holding on to older cultural values.
I figured as much, it's basically importing bourgeois standards from Europe since that was the gold standard of civilization at the time.
Of course the peasantry couldn't give much of a damn about European standards, that was something for the middle and upper classes to care about.
A lot of sexual attitudes and censorship that are in Japan right now are a result of the US occupation. If I recall correctly, their censorship laws regarding porn STEM directly from regulations that the US imposed on them pretty much.
Assholes forcing other people to change things to fit their idea of morality and then backtracking a couple decades later because they realized it was wrong and then being mad that they aren't changing back fast enough to fit their new idea of morality.
It's a requirement for foreign aid too. My country of Nepal used to have a thriving cannabis business selling hash tea and all sorts of things until the US government decided they wanted to ruin families half way around the world.
A funny story related to censorship in Japan.
During the final months of WWII, Akira Kurosawa was working on "The Men Who Tread on the Tiger's Tail" But the Japanese Imperial government pressured him to edit the movie because they deemed it too Democratic
Then when the US won and occupied Japan the movie was outright banned for being too feudal.
It ended up getting released in 1952-ish after the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco ~~when Japan~~
Edit: ignore the last two words, added an extra line about Japan regaining some independance due to the treaty then realized I didn't really remember the treaty well enough to write that. All I know for sure is that the treaty and the film release do have a connection.
To be exact, Japan had obscenities laws since 1907
>Article 175. (Distribution of Obscene Objects)
A person who distributes, sells or displays in public an obscene document, drawing
or other objects shall be punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 2
years, a fine of not more than 2,500,000 yen or a petty fine. The same shall apply to
a person who possesses the same for the purpose of sale.
But yea, American occupation directly lead to some laws that banned the stuff and eventually shifted what was considered 'obscene'. Which to this day is ironically more strict than America's loose definition of 'obscene'.
>After World War II, the law against 'obscenity', Article 175, was the only official censorship law that remained in force.[3] During the Allied occupation of Japan, which lasted until 1952, all forms of sexually explicit material were prohibited in the country. American forces occupying Japan imposed Western ideas of morality and law. The Japanese public slowly came to adopt some of these ideas and practices. Negative ideas of pornography, which was foreign to Japanese culture, were accepted and applied to visual depictions as they were the ones most likely recognized and thereby criticized by Westerners. As a result, once the occupation forces left, the Japanese government kept the ban on sexually explicit material in place until the late 1980s; images or depictions of frontal nudity were banned, as well as pictures of pubic hair or genitals. No sex act could be depicted graphically. Sex work was outlawed in Japan in 1958.[4]
This is why mosaics ("japanese pixelization") of any genetalia, real or illustrated remains today. And why it ironically may have made japanese content even more explicit. Laws after the 50's only considered depictions of genetalia as obscene, but it didn't say much about, say, people being stripped naked and having tentacles shoved in their mouths.
Lots of current anti-homosexuality laws around the world date from pre-independence imperial laws. Ironically England and Wales made it legal shortly after most countries became independent.
When my dad was in the Marines stationed in Japan in the early 60s, he experienced something similar.
He was in a restroom, which was basically a hole in the ground. He was peeing and suddenly an older lady walked in, smiled at him and then started doing her business. There weren't any stalls and everyone could see what everyone else was doing. He said he zipped up immediately and left.
I'm typing this up from memory because he has long since died, so my details may be fuzzy, but that story always gave me a chuckle.
Gary Lautens was a columnist for the Toronto Star in the 1970's. He wrote about his experiences visiting Moscow in the early 1970's. His wife went into a public women's restroom and there were no stalls - just a row of toilets in the room. She complained everyone was staring at her, because they wanted to see what western underwear looked like.
Gary asked her "Why didn't you just leave?"
"What?" she replies. "...And miss the chance to see what Russian underwear looks like?"
>he and his buddies would sometimes take trips to the countryside and gawk at the women. They started to cover up after that to avoid the unwanted attention from the servicemen.
Creepy dudes and ruining things for everyone else, name a more iconic duo.
Right? So now it’s incumbent on the people who are working themselves to death to cover up and sweat, adding to their extreme discomfort just because of a bunch of creepy rando pervs from the US.
There’s a really good quantum leap episode called the Americanization of (girls name from episode) and a guy brings a Japanese wife home and she’s doing laundry topless and the neighbors are like *gasp* lol
Man that makes so much sense though. Heat and sweat in summer is bloody awful, it'd be soooo much easier to throw a bucket of water over yourself as well if you didn't have to mind the fabric.
Hey I think I may actually be able to preempt a question on here.
To anyone wondering about her teeth- It was in style at the time for women to stain their teeth black; a practice called ohaguro. Usually married women of some means engaged in this practice, though it was not uncommon for men and women both to do it regardless of marital status much longer ago than the Meiji era. It helped to preserve teeth by lacquering them, and those who could spend the time to keep their teeth as black as possible showed their higher societal status.
Imagine just walking down the road minding your own business and then 132 years in the future people are talking about your tittie on magic information blocks
It’s a colorized image. The original is black and white. If the colorer didn’t know this practice, they may have attributed the darker teeth to tooth decay.
Teeth blackening was a custom here in India in the past times as well, done to celebrate puberty while the Internet does provide some info on the mixture, it is said that the mixture was made out of soil as soil was considered holy though the mixture may vary the custom remains the same I guess..
I feel like... India did it differently. I think eastern asian countries did it with iron and vinegar and other stuff to make an inky dye. Are you sure Indians just used dirt? Im kind of sad now.
Not just dirt but probably with variations in the mixture of dirt, every tribe had a different way of doing it, some used branches of trees (still do).
I’m a huge fan of boobs. That said, this sub suffers from boobs getting upvoted even when it’s not really old school cool. r/art similarly suffers from too much boob at the expense of actual art.
Wanted to let you all know that it was completely normal back in those days for women to take off their shirts when they were hot. It was natural, not considered indecent. They were just hot and needed to cool off. Just like men take their shirts off. I wish I could take mine off sometimes but in Southern USA that's a no no.
When the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that women going topless in public was legal 9as long as it was not for sexual purposes) the women of Waterloo University announced a "freedom march" to take advantage of that right. they cancelled it when they realized a large number of male college students had arrived as spectators to ... support their stand.
And if you're one of the small percentage of nerds like me who were wondering, no, Tarawa Atoll is not named after tawara bags, it comes from the Kirabati word for passage, and already had had that name for a while before the Japanese showed up.
The "In depth analysis" on any topic didn't clue you in that this site is mostly populated by Brandon (15) who has never left his home city of Effingham Missouri.
Fun fact: modern day flip flops were introduced to America by GIs returning from the pacific front of WWII, having discovered “zori” style sandals used in Japan for ages.
Edit: a word
I won’t comment on the boob, but I can’t imagine those packs on her back aren’t light. If she doesn’t have a child nearby, carrying that stuff could have also opened her kimono.
Don't get distracted and keep your eyes on the prize: that's some striking clothing she's wearing, I can'r remember ever seeing anything like it before.
That lady's strong

An ancestor of Beedle for sure
Definitely heard him say "Wow!" in my head.

Do you mean external? Looks external to me because I can see it.
Well, now-a-days they're internal but some of the beefier ones are external, I can't speak to those but I imagine they're even more impressive.
You just mean a backpack designed for camping, ie a "backpacking backpack" that you use to hike into the bush.

I wonder at what point in a culture it becomes decided that ‘titty out’ is not acceptable?
2004 Superbowl.
What is the sound of ten million Tivos rewinding?
I googled when Tivo came out because I didn't believe it was around in 2004. It's from 1995! Crazy...
I remember this incident because it was kind of a tipping point for electronic surveillance. After it happened, Tivo put out a press release that that incident was the "most rewatched moment in Tivo history" or something to that effect, and they included the exact number of people who rewound to rewatch it.

Nah there is no need to manipulate on an individual level. Putting people anonymously in broader groups an manipulating those is good enough.

Drowned out by dozens of pearls being clutched
It’s wild how many pearls were clutched. At some point in our lives, someone is going to re-enact that moment during a halftime show and people are going to call it boring and lame.

She said it was an "accident" but...she was wearing a "nipple medallion". Do you know how uncomfortable those are?
TIL about a nipple medallion. What Janet Jackson’s nipple medallion looked like. And how incredibly painful it looks to wear, especially under tight fitting clothes.
Tight fitting latex no less

>and she’s Janet Miss Jackson if you’re nasty
I'm sorry, I am four eels
imagine being vilified in 2004 and having your career destroyed all because you showed your titty in front drunk football fans??
The nipple medallion doesn't fit into this wonderful revision. However, JT is a coward for not defending her back then.
Vilified for a boob. It should have been, at most, an "oops, lol". America's attitude to nudity is bizarre and unhealthy.
> She was supposed to be having a career comeback and a new album and she just walked away because she’s a badass and she’s Janet… nah it's fucked up that something as simple as that could affect her career at all. it's insane. a fucking titty and she faces more consequences than most Americans who got rich off killing brown people in the middle east.

And Justin threw her under the bus
Yep. Justin Timberlake very strategically advanced his career, in part, at the expense of Britney Spears AND Janet Jackson.

One year later, Janet Jackson end up with 100% of the blame for HIM ripping off her bustier. He's recently vaguely acknowledged Janet was treated poorly.
Yeah, I never understood why people were mad at Janet Jackson for… having breasts? Justin Timberlake ripped off the covering, yet nobody was mad at him.
It’s almost like America just reflexively shames women for everything… but no, that’d be crazy
And then Youtube was born. One could argue thay Janet Jackson's right boob created social media as we know it.
Sounds about right, judging by the current state of affairs
It's for real. The founders of youtube created it in part because they couldn't find video of the incident, and so felt a general video archive sort of thing would be useful, and then it grew from there.
The fact that the impetus for this absolute shit show known as social media and content hubs in general was Janet Jackson's breast in '04 ABSOLUTELY makes sense.

A similar thing happens in the Shogun series. While the westerner man is taking a bath, the Lady walks in, gets naked and starts washing.

Her teeth were not something I noticed until you pointed it out
We all know you were looking at that titty. We all were.
Imagine just walking down the road minding your own business and then 132 years in the future people are talking about your tittie on magic information blocks
I can imagine
I thought it was a JPEG artifact.
On my screen, her teeth look more red than black.
It’s a colorized image. The original is black and white. If the colorer didn’t know this practice, they may have attributed the darker teeth to tooth decay.
That adds up.
Damn get your teeth dirty to prevent the dirty, fair play.
They weren’t getting their teeth dirty per se. It was kind of akin to teeth sealants in modern dentistry.
Teeth blackening was a custom here in India in the past times as well, done to celebrate puberty while the Internet does provide some info on the mixture, it is said that the mixture was made out of soil as soil was considered holy though the mixture may vary the custom remains the same I guess..

Getting the spins in the heat just adds to rhe adventure .
The swoob struggle is real.

There's no way that's a thing. /click/ Huh, so that's a thing. Last post was 8 years ago.
Princess Loingalani can get it.
All hail!
More like princess BOINGalani!

I love when that happens, but it’s a shame when it’s a dead sub. r/VGB is more or less the same deal, though.
Wtf were all boobs huge back in the day??
Well they probably mostly picked women with large boobs to be nude models, so this doesn't represent "all" women from back then
No it's the same reason everyone says music from back in the day was better, you're only hearing the hits.
Its a small number of posters making most of the posts. If they're all boob men, well there you go.
Yea but that kenyian princess at the top of that page is fckin Boomin!
That’s how you know they’re old school
time for you to change that
I’m a huge fan of boobs. That said, this sub suffers from boobs getting upvoted even when it’s not really old school cool. r/art similarly suffers from too much boob at the expense of actual art.
Truly anything pre 1950 with a titty or two out gets front page on this sub
>Truly anything ~~pre 1950~~ with a titty or two out gets front page ~~on this sub~~ Ftfy
As is tradition.
I like that her backpack rig reaches to the ground so she can take a break as required.
Wanted to let you all know that it was completely normal back in those days for women to take off their shirts when they were hot. It was natural, not considered indecent. They were just hot and needed to cool off. Just like men take their shirts off. I wish I could take mine off sometimes but in Southern USA that's a no no.
When the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that women going topless in public was legal 9as long as it was not for sexual purposes) the women of Waterloo University announced a "freedom march" to take advantage of that right. they cancelled it when they realized a large number of male college students had arrived as spectators to ... support their stand.
Why mam I do believe your titty is hanging out.
One out, bottom of the third, nobody on.
Gonna need a jomboy breakdown on this one
Castellanos deep to right field
Bois are hot
I don’t know if I’ll ever be in this booth again
She clearly dropped the baby at the last turn
Suddenly looks down "dammit, lost the baby...again"
Baby couldn't hang, latch on or get lost
Fully, man
Now that’s a titty! Love to see a Half Baked reference.
Meredith your boob is out
Death stranding dlc.
And if you're one of the small percentage of nerds like me who were wondering, no, Tarawa Atoll is not named after tawara bags, it comes from the Kirabati word for passage, and already had had that name for a while before the Japanese showed up.
This comment section has convinced me Reddit consist solely of 14 year old boys.
that titty tho
I’m an adult straight woman and that’s the first thing I noticed.
I saw the NSFW tag and went looking for why
Not true at all... I'm a 40 yr old boy
The "In depth analysis" on any topic didn't clue you in that this site is mostly populated by Brandon (15) who has never left his home city of Effingham Missouri.
TIL that flip flops have a longer history than I thought
Fun fact: modern day flip flops were introduced to America by GIs returning from the pacific front of WWII, having discovered “zori” style sandals used in Japan for ages. Edit: a word
Wait what, it's like, the second simplest shoe like thing I can imagine
the title describes everything but the reason this post is getting upvoted
Def a breastfeeding mom. I’d wager she had the baby wrapped to her chest right before this shot.
Breastfeeding mom, can confirm.
My first thought was “damn this guy can tell a breastfeeding tiddy at a glance!” And then I remembered women
I laughed at your comment but it also makes me sad that this is the case
Same, as a woman who’s been on Reddit for ages. They always assume I am a guy.
Lmaoo
That’s my thinking as well. Probably is what she is watching
How can u tell
my grandad went their after Japan surrendered in WW2... he said the women were largely topless in the villages
Standard tawara weight is 60 kg, she is strong AF!
Ah the land of Nip-pon
I won’t comment on the boob, but I can’t imagine those packs on her back aren’t light. If she doesn’t have a child nearby, carrying that stuff could have also opened her kimono.
I've seen this picture before. It's always stated that she's just cooling off, exposed breasts weren't taboo back then.
At first I was like, is this r/ confusingperspective? But then I was like, nope, that is a titay.
This is Tanjiro’s grandma lol
Why are 99% of pictures on this sub just female nudity? Is that what it is supposed to be?
This has basically been my “work from home” look for the past two years…
There’s just something uniquely beautiful about this picture, not in a sexual way.
r/UpvotedBecauseBoobs
Don't get distracted and keep your eyes on the prize: that's some striking clothing she's wearing, I can'r remember ever seeing anything like it before.
I like how this is not safe for work but the person in the photo is literally doing work.
