The earliest "queen"?

In the evening, I watched the biopic "The Notorious Bettie Page" of Bettie Page, which may be the earliest S/M queen in the United States.

Bettie looks like countless ordinary rebellious women from orthodox Catholic families in the United States after the war, with beautiful appearance and a devilish figure, but her avant-garde and boldness are definitely outstanding in that era, and more importantly: her rebelliousness is not a pretentious gesture, not It's interesting to rebel for oppression's sake, rebel for rebellion's sake, rebel for survival's sake, but it's natural and submissive. Bettie Page's eccentricity may seem unremarkable today, but in the 1950s it was enough to go to court, where a father complained that my son committed suicide in the bandage pose of her sexually abused photos. Hearing such tragic words in Bettie Page's ears, he naturally softened his heart, believed in the Lord, put on his clothes, and achieved a politically correct Happy Ending.

But I always wonder: is this also a kind of salvation? When people take off their clothes and get cool, they become sinners with TMD, and the sinner himself believes in the end: Yes, that's it. It's so ridiculous that I can't even laugh, what a fucking and ridiculous era.

That arms dealer will show you a lot of pictures of powerful weapons in beautifully printed magazines every year, and interest groups and corrupt governments will tickle the hands of impulsive young people and rush into the battlefield after taking a few handfuls. Bettie Page's sin can be greater than this. government? Or maybe there is a shameless political party telling you: you can only believe in an ideology like me, everything else is wrong, it's all fucking FUCCCKKKING FALSE, believe in me and you will have eternal life, you have been covered up under this huge lie all your life , Can Bettie Page be better at brainwashing innocent youth than these parties? Those with vested interests who oppress the vulnerable groups and squeeze the last drop of blood and sweat from the vulnerable groups, those high-ranking officials who take the life-saving money of the common people, do power and money transactions, and take care of mistresses, can Bettie Page be more shameless than them? ? ? ?

Not to mention, the documentary "Bettie Page: Dark Angel" will be watched later.
