The mother’s milk thing is funny. I mean, we think of drinking human breastmilk as adults really disgusting, but it’s not like it’s natural to drink other animals’ milk either.

And the boob clogs are weird. How do you wear them?

I don’t speak Italian, but I would assume that the name literally translates to “small strawberry breast.”

I know there are erotic bakeries in the U.S. These products were on sale in Japan. We often tag things with the country they came from if they weren’t from the U.S. If we get a picture of something from Spain, we’d tag it as “Spain.” It doesn’t mean we’re saying that image says something about Spanish culture, but simply that that’s where it originated from. My comment in the post about Japan was meant to connect to the anime-like features, not that somehow Japan is the only place on earth that has food shaped like sexual parts.

As for the sociological element–we just provide examples of images we think might be useful for illustrating some sociological ideas (the way black women’s bodies are often animalized, for instance, or that social movement messages are often coopted and trivialized over time). But people are free to do whatever they want with the images. If the best someone can do is express “outrage,” that’s not particularly sociological or sophisticated, but I guess that’s what some people will do with it.

BTW, there are “erotic bakeries” in many U.S. cities, so tagging this as having something to do with “japan” is far from the mark. I suppose I could say something sociological about that, but I’m too outraged.
