1 | '''Basic Trope''': Different cultures have different ideas about what constitutes "nudity". |
2 | * '''Straight''': |
3 | ** Alice visits Tropetania and is shocked to see local women walking around topless. The locals are equally as shocked that [[BarelyThereSwimwear she's wearing a thong at the beach.]] |
4 | ** Bob visits Troperia and walks around in a vest and shorts, and locals (not used to tourists) wonder why he's walking around in his underwear. |
5 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
6 | ** Carol has no qualms about not wearing clothing, but would [[VanityIsFeminine feel 'naked' without a full face of makeup as well as]] [[DiamondsInTheBuff adorning herself]] [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry with jewellry.]] |
7 | ** Danielle is arrested for public indecency in Tropestan because, [[FullyClothedNudity despite wearing a floor-length dress with a high neckline, her head was uncovered]] [[OldTimeyAnkleTaboo or she accidentally flashed some ankle]]. The judge at her trial, summing up, shames her for appearing [[InsistentTerminology "naked"]], not merely "semi-naked". |
8 | * '''Downplayed''': Elizabeth is reprimanded for entering a church with a short sleeved top and shorts which expose her thighs despite it being perfectly fine in the street. |
9 | * '''Justified''': |
10 | ** In Tropetania, baring breasts is considered normal as women have to breastfeed their babies when they're hungry, but showing backside is something you do when you go to the toilet, prompting disgust. |
11 | ** [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Francine]] comes from a FetishFuelFuture where RuleOfSexy matters more than "outdated" concepts of "modesty". |
12 | ** Tropestan is a conservative religious culture where women are expected to preserve their "modesty" lest they tempt men, and cover their heads as a sign of male headship over them. |
13 | ** What is perfectly normal outerwear in one culture resembles underwear in another, so wearing it makes you appear "naked" (or at least "semi-naked"). |
14 | ** Different countries ([[GlobalWarming or time periods]]) have different climates. Covering up in a cold or desert climate makes sense where it wouldn't in the tropical rainforest, so different cultures have different standards of what it means to be properly covered up. |
15 | ** Some other reason, related to [[TruthInTelevision real life cultural taboos]]. |
16 | ** Due to BizarreAlienBiology the Troperians can sheath their naughty bits, so what's the problem? |
17 | * '''Inverted''': The people of Tropeland are scandalised by George wearing ''too much'' clothing. |
18 | * '''Subverted''': ??? |
19 | * '''Double Subverted''': ??? |
20 | * '''Parodied''': ??? |
21 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': ??? |
22 | * '''Averted''': The setting has no particular nudity taboo. |
23 | * '''Enforced''': |
24 | ** The producers wanted to find a way to sneak boobs into the show but couldn't do it without [[NationalGeographicNudity setting the work in another country where female toplessness was normal]]. |
25 | ** ForeignFanservice involving cultural stereotypes of "exotic" native peoples. |
26 | ** The differing taboos exist in real life and are likely to come up when the characters are in the setting. |
27 | * '''Lampshaded''': ??? |
28 | * '''Invoked''': ??? |
29 | * '''Exploited''': ??? |
30 | * '''Defied''': ??? |
