Jen, sarcasm doesn't translate well on the web, FWIW.

I don't think people can tell that you, just as myself, tend to post things in a sarcastic manner ...

Ah, for want of a this is sarcasm tag ...

The bear is laying on it's back and looking forward.
Does this change your opinion of it?

I like the bear the best.

Butt in the air? No matter how much I squint, I can't see that.

Yeah, it's butt is not in the air. I guess this means Jen is clueless when it come to anal?

We call that pose "Scoot down to the edge of the table, dear." Also, "Knees apart, please."

I guess this means I'm clueless when it comes to English...

The bear's butt is on the ground.

...the bear, who accidentally implies that he wants penetration, and then blocks it with his smooth, unbroken surface and intended, asexual childishness.

Even more than I am impressed that Graves wrung an actual critique out of that polar bear (posture misunderstanding aside), I am struck by how aptly it could also apply to how a stereotypical otaku experiences media.

Dear Jen,

Your interpretation of the bear as having its ass in the air and looking over its shoulder is totally ridiculous.

If that's the case, what is going on with its hind legs? No feet? You think its knees are its big, square butt, and it has a weird hunch-back lump? What the hell?

NOTHING along the spectrum from human to bear shape, when sticking its ass in the air hoping something will fuck it is shaped like that sculpture.

Remedial anatomy classes are clearly due Jen Graves.

Snark all you want, people, but Jen Graves earns her dough. This quote actually, momentarily, made the art seem good. Which is a miracle, if a short-lived one.

Her grotesque miscomprehension of the fuckable bear proves she's only human. She may not know HOW to approach the sexuality of a bear.

I'm with 6, the first thing I thought of was sliding on down and exploring whatever treasure that asexual? bear has between it's legs.

The Eva Hesse link isn't working for me. Otherwise, nice post.

@12 for the win.

No, no, no -- I'm saying that's the first thing I saw when I looked at the bear, and then I had a hard time NOT thinking about it. It took my eyes a second to switch, but once they did, I saw what you're seeing, a prone bear on its back. But that first glimpse is the one I prefer. See if you can get your eyes to flip it.

Does this help?

I see what you're seeing Jen. It took me a while to figure it out, but the knees become the butt, and the bear is doing some serious yoga.
