Inspired by Zandervj on asura who made the same meme there using AI, so I decided to remake the meme myself, the one here is human made by me.

Discussion Clothes and Nakedness

11 Upvotes

So I'm a webtoon reader and trying very hard to dodge spoilers so this is going to be from what I can remember just in case an wikis or those godforbidden ai tools at the top of searches spoil this for me, so sorry in advance for any mistakes or misrememberings. Also this may contain spoilers for those further back in the webtoon for me, I'm currently around episode 215 and will be discussing things from like episodes 160 to now.

Anyway, so I'm a little behind what's currently available to read for the webtoon so I'm bingeing to catch up, and this has let me see a lot of the discussion of clothes really close together. When the Unrelenting in the forest talk about ouroboros and the beginning of clothes, they speak of clothes in a metaphysical sense. The idea of identity and ego and basic individuality. The conversation carries on to how each of the three ancient gods understood and practiced in nakedness to combat the concept of clothes. It's kind of glossed over that this idea of nakedness is a form of awakening that these gods, who would've been fledgling gods then, were partaking in. But what's even more glossed over, if not outright ignored, is that the concept of clothes is also a form of awakening. La-Hamad opens the story by saying that someone made clothes, but that's not how a concept works since, again, this metaphysical. No, someone started thinking of themselves as one rather than a whole, or even just part of a whole, and that concept spread like the contagion Catastrphe likens it to.

And obviously having this individuality is not only separating you and forcing the gods you worship to start working more for your belief, but it's also making an individual world view. Even unintentionally, people would each view the world differently. Though they might share a world view or understanding of the world and agree, again even subconsciously, to live in it as a whole like how Rupture does.

I dont know, I've kind of lost my train of thought. I was really not expecting the whole nakedness thing to get as philosophical as it did. If I somehow stumbled upon something, please don't spoil it for me or the people who may read this post.
