It’s a 33-meter vagina on a hill in Brazil:

I love it. A great reflexion by the Brazilian artist on how everything is so usually centered around Western phallocentric symbols, that once you expose female symbols so openly it becomes “shocking and provoking”. No one ever cares that architecture is mostly used to represent dick-shaped elements.

It’s so easy to anger Brazilian far-right because they basically deeply hate everything the country is about despite hiding behind a false nationalism. They consider Carnaval a degenerate party and act like every aspect of Brazilian culture with roots in Africa or Indigenous communities is “backwards”.

They love to use US and Israel as references and yet hate the social liberalism associated with these places. If depended on them, Brazil would be more like Saudi Arabia and other authoritarian theocracies than these places lol. You can’t be a nationalist if you hate the country you live in and its people.

Are the usual suspects making a fuss about it?

I don't see the point of it. In both senses.

Apparently the artist has a definite opinion as to whether the bush should be trimmed.

This is Brazil we're talking about. I'm surprised the artist didn't salt the earth.

But you could say that about a great deal of art. Does it have to have a "point" even?

Yes? But maybe it's my tastes getting in the way. Anyway, of course the other 'sense' was that I don't see the point of finding that offensive either.

I don’t see it as a big deal. It is not they put a Swastika on a synagogue.

No, what is offensive is whenever people say "vagina" when they mean "vulva".
