This week on Planet Nude: Celebrating naturist history, battling censorship, sparking holiday gift ideas, and reviving midcentury nudie cutie comics
Welcome to the 50th Weekly Wrap! This milestone edition features a rich mix of stories, discussions, and a touch of holiday spirit.
We explored the absurdity of book bans targeting nudity, celebrated the history of nude waterskiing, and delved into social media’s problematic censorship of body-positive naturist content. Our latest #UndressedThread sparked a conversation about the perfect gifts for naturists. Plus, all new Strips delivered fresh humor and charm to keep things light.
Here’s to 50 weeks of naturist news, perspectives, and community! Let’s dive into the highlights. 🚀
This week on Planet Nude 🪐
Censorship and body-shaming in social media must stop
In this editorial, Stéphane Deschênes of the International Naturist Federation (INF-FNI) calls on social media platforms to better distinguish between explicit content and naturist expressions. He critiques Meta’s recent moderation changes and advocates for policy shifts to support body positivity, inclusion, and free speech for naturists.
Zaftig Pink and the "nudie cutie" revival
This feature delves into Planet Nude’s collaboration with artist Zaftig Pink, whose comics blend midcentury Americana with modern body-positive humor. Highlighting the creative revival of “nudie cutie” comics, Zaftig discusses his inspirations, absurdity in art, and the enduring influence of midcentury nudist iconography.
