Will be there be nudity in Season 2?

As a woman I find men whining about getting to see some actress nude to be pathetic. That behavior is probably why they’ve been reduced to just seeing a nude woman on TV, they can’t say “go away creep”.
 
Nah. I part ways there..kinda (I do not actually want nudity in s2)
If an adult person wishes to be naked as a part of a work of art, that’s up to them and the artist. If it’s art, there’s no seediness except the projections of someone viewing the art. There’s a discussion around the male gaze (something I think only really comes in around photographed art..or screen obviously...which covers DSC) obviously, but in general, that way lays the path of mad puritanical censorship. (With the obvious exceptions of ensuring its suitable for its audience, and that its audience are adults.) we shouldn’t strip artists of their agency under the pretense of protecting it.

That said...no thanks. Teenage me had to live with the Starfleet issue sweaty vests, and this generation will just have to do the same.

Not only that but if you are like me who does think Tilly is sexy it's not like nudity is going to change people's opinion on her looks. You can still have all the lusty thoughts you want without the actress doing a pointless nude scene. Don't people have imaginations? Pointless Nudity sends the messsage that the actor's only value is their looks. Why do that to someone if it isn't even needed because it's important to the plot.

Yeah, maybe my sarcastic dig at certain people came across as being serious....my bad
 
Are there many out there that do want nudity in Trek for reasons titillation? Have they no imagination, or internet access? The internet is 95% porn, 2% bitcoin ads, 1% a Trump poetry and then a bunch of other stuff. If TNG had nudity, such as the Troi shower scene I always felt was missing, there’s no way I could have watched it as a teen, and I enjoyed watching it with my parents, and I enjoy watching it with my kids.

Klingon tits though? They’re about as arousing as an udder, with BSE, that’s not nudity, and I’ve no objection.
 
Judging by here, I don't think DSC should show nudity. The audience watching -- as a whole -- isn't ready for it.

Nudity should be a non-issue that people are comfortable with and not embarrassed by. It also shouldn't matter who is seen naked. Gender, age, or physical build. That's not where the audience is. I don't even think it's where the writers or producers are.

To quote Ilia, "I would never take advantage of an immature species". Or, in this case, an immature audience.

She didn't say that in the movie.

It's in the 1983 version with 12 minutes added in that were cut out of the theatrical release. I don't think it's in subsequent cuts but I don't remember for sure. Here's a link to the exact dialogue exchange here between Decker and Ilia, after she tells Kirk her Oath of Celibacy is on record.

Decker: I'm sure the Captain didn't mean anything personal.

Lt. Ilia: I would never take advantage of a sexually immature species. You can assure him that's the truth, can't you?

... But not the point of my post. The point is nudity in DSC would call too much unnecessary attention to itself. It could be something as simple as a crewmember getting dressed or someone walking into the quarters at the wrong moment to see someone undressed if they shared the same quarters. But even those alone would cause an uproar.

First off, she's not a mod in this forum, so don't play the "should a mod do this" card. She's just another poster here like anyone else.

Secondly, nothing she said broke any rules.

You've been posting toxic rhetoric all over the forum and that post was objectionable to you? Give me a break.

The supposed 'toxic rhetoric' part is debatable.

But I'll defer to your expertise on the Mod thing. I haven't bothered familiarizing myself with who moderates what section on here, nor do I care.
 
So it's the victim's fault? Classy.
Yeah but that usually involves them doing something wrong. Taking private pictures of yourself naked on your private phone is not doing something wrong.

Here's an example, I've seen teachers for instance get into trouble for what they do in their private time. Say pictures of that teacher at a Fetish event or from Spring Break got leaked... there would be serious questions as to whether they should be employed, and whether their image reflects negatively on the board or the education community.

Whether the individual leaks the images or not, they exist and are out there and there are consequences. It's not as simplistic a case as 'blaming the victim.'

I've got no sympathy for celebrities who's brands are tainted by their private lives leaking out. It's an occupational hazard and they know it. Especially in today's social media-driven industry.
