ModestyBedsheet, do we need the snark?

I find this is one of those tropes that in some context can be incredibly weird and jarring, but other times is pretty common in Real Life.

Especially this bit: "Somebody, somewhere, may have actually done this in real life. Once. Maybe. It's of course largely illogical, as they've already seen each other completely naked."

Also, the "magic underwear" bit. Is the idea of people not sleeping in the nude really so alien to people? The way the article is written it seems like the idea of people wearing clothes when no one can see them is strange and foreign. Like it's written by aliens observing human behavior. "The hoomans chose to wear clothing when no clothing is required. They have nothing left to conceal, thus further clothing is illogical."

Feel free to edit, IMO. Seems like it's closed-mindedly written.

Speaking as someone to who the idea of sleeping in the nude is pretty alien, I would definitely support a change.

I actually prefer it, but not so much to think that there aren't reasons to put clothing on. Especially after an encounter that may leave fluids... places. Don't want to get the sheets too messy, you know?

I would definitely say rewrite it to be less judgmental.

Good enough for me. Gonna make some modifications.

EDIT: Done. Also took out the bit with L-shaped blankets... because seriously, it's not like it's difficult to pull half a sheet down.

I think that was meant to remark on the Full Frontal Nudity discrepancy between males and females.

Yeah, it's the old "female nipples are obscene" double standard. You can show a man's chest in PG but not a woman's, so the blanket or bedsheet will conveniently expose one and not the other.

No, I get it.◊
