Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

The statue isn't of his peepee, it just has his peepee on it

Nobpdy dies prematurely from being bald.

It's small like that because the Greeks of the time found a boy's genitals to be the ultimate s*x symbol.

The cope is that if you make the peepee too big the focus just becomes about the big peepee.

Or they could have just sculpted him wearing some sweet jorts instead of nude. Why they always gotta sculpt them nude.

Fun fact: the statue
was originally meant to be placed on top of the Florence Duomo, which is why he's proportioned the way he is, it's meant to look more natural from a distance when looking 
from below.
This however also implies that his peepee
is scaled UP to account for the perspective, meaning his peepee 
is technically even smaller

Not sure about the peepee, but I'm fairly sure that his palms and head are disproportionately bigger, so what you're saying tracks
Factcheck: This claim is both true and false.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
yes the hands/head and stuff are true
the peepee
part is what we in the rdrama 
community 
like to call an "obvious joke"

Fair enough but did you know that in the past having a small peepee was considered to be a trait of a more civilized and intelligent person?
I don't think that belief is from the same time period, but I can attest to the fact that it is indeed true (I'm r-slurred)

The belief originally comes from ancient
greece, and was later 
incorporated into roman 
culture too
the reneissance specifically copies ancient
roman 
art, which is the male statues still have small 
peepeees

Yea I know that it comes from ancient Greece but somehow I didn't connect the dots that it's present in renaissance as well since they just copied a bunch of shit

Is this the first case of an aged-up version of a character all so it's OK to be shown naked?
Also, tbf non-sexual nudity is frequent in art, though I'm thinking more cherubs.

Isn't it proven that Michelangelo was a homo so making a giant naked statue of a child isn't surprising

People saying this statue is a peepeelet was the first thing that made me suspect I had a micropeepee.
