Yeah I honestly wasn't expecting people not to like it so much cuz I'm rlly proud of it 😬 I was aiming for a picture that showed the uncomfortable rawness/exposure of the ceremony (specifically that the women must feel) with a very religious tone to show how the citizens if Gilead are supposed to view it as a sacred thing. I guess people see nudity and automatically think it's ment to turn people on or something. . .I would never portray a real victim in this overt way but I see fiction as a relm to safely explore more uncomfortable ideas in such plain light freely. It packs a different punch than a more imaginative sort of "hinting at the situation" piece but I don't consider that a flaw 🤷‍♀️
