Her heart's in the right place but there are an absolute fuck ton of statues of dudes where the bulge/dick is worn from touching.

For example:

"Youth" (uhhhhhhh), Prague Castle, Czech Republic

"Adam and Eve", Monaco

Cristiano Ronaldo, Funchal, Portugal

And more that aren't as famous I'm sure. Any statue with noticable genital features is gonna get this treatment no question.

That Ronaldo statue has a very prominent bulge!

It honestly seems like the focal point of the whole thing.

Right? Why would they make a statue of him with a stiffy?

Her heart was not in the right place, as the point she was trying to make was that men are scum

Who is this Ronaldo guy, and why is he so important that he gets his own statue?

I keep hearing his name everywhere, but he just looks like a football player to me... What makes him so special?

He has an exceptionally large bulge. They had to immortalize it.

People say he's the greatest footballer of all time.

Okay. So? What makes him important enough to have a statue, though?

What's next, dedicating statues to chess players?

I’m sure there are a few.

I’d sooner have statues of footballers rather than slavers.
