If you posted all the historical art ever made in r/art the prudes here would whine that there's so much nudity (gasp! a nude woman in art??) Grow up, y'all. In a world full of actual porn a classical, platonic appreciation for the human body would not be remiss.

It’s not about being prude. It’s that most of the nude women pieces on here are like bad 70’s pinup girls. Objectified, lifeless, and badly drawn.

Are you suggesting that this one is?

Because I feel I managed to neither make it a pinup or objectified or, if I might say so, badly drawn... even if I (as always) feels there is room for improvment.

No, not at all. I was replying to a comment about r/art and nudity in general. I think this one is well done and actual art

I'll be honest. Where are people seeing this? I can agree that Frank Frazetta style women are just bad (not dissing him, but I think he turned to sex and violence later in his career to make a living), but I really don't see the oversexualized women on this page that everyone is rioting about. At this point it seems like artists could just draw a photo realistic copy of a figure and have people complain that they are porn afflicted minds.

I'm not talking about those posts. I'm talking about this one.
