What always bugs me about this is that they had the boys in underwear. Like, if it's fine to symbolize with clothed girls, why do you need to do it differently with boys?

- 100% with ya, the double standards are kinda crazy. The differnce between the first two panels is pretty stark in regards to the kid, even if the point is essentially the same.
  
  My take is that male bodies need to exposed in order to be sexualized so they read vulnerable, but female bodies are can be read as sexualized and vulnerable regardless how they are presented. But that doesn't really explain panel 4 & 6.
  
  Weird choices. If anyone knows who the artist is, I'd be curious how they would talk about this.

  With the priest it makes sense to me considering they are infomas for being pedophiles but the rest yea why couldn't they have been clothed

- Because only the males are fit to actually dress like Jesus. /s

- Why do you care?

  Because sexism is bad

- I think it’s Just more apparent

What the fuck is this supposed to mean??

- catholic priests, sex tourism, war
  
  (abortion?), gun crime/gangs, obesity
  
  ...hurts kids

  Organ harvesting. See the cooler.

  Or that children are being sacrificed to them. Crucification was a state punishment, so maybe they are trying to say that governments are complicit in the crime? Maybe?
  
  Or maybe that children are our saviors/future, but they are being sacrificed on the backs of these topical issues?
  
  Art is hard.

  That abortion thing is messed up. The rest is true...

ITT: no one really knows what the hell the artist was trying to portray with this piece other than the blatantly obvious

40
- I feel like almost all of it is blatantly obvious everyone the surgeon with the cooler, since I'm not aware of any child organ harvesting epidemic (and I maybe don't want to be).

I'm afraid to ask. What does the bottom left represent?

27
- There's organ box next to them, maybe organ harvesting?

  Ah, that makes sense =/

- Prob some anti-medicine/ pharma/ vax or other conspiracy stuff. Organ harvesting from children isn't a thing, unless that's the conspiracy and we're right back where we started.
  
  The only reasonable thing I can think of is lack of access to healthcare, and I guess insurance people and lobbyists don't have uniforms so they went with a doctor.

  Child organ trafficking is much rarer than sexual, but very much a thing that exists. Conspiracies may exaggerate, but don't make the mistake of dismissing the existence entirely as a consequence

  I'm not thinking antimedicine. More like a criticism of the broken system.

Dog I think this is just about pedophilia or which children each person figuratively hurts?

18
Kind of fucked up that the child in the bottom right has to pose for something he's already experiencing

17
Really unsure about the symbolism here. Didn't Jesus die on the cross for our sins to be forgiven or something along those lines? So this kinda implies the abused children die to give forgivness to the people they are nailed to here...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I've never been to a church and neither has anyone I know.

17
- Even in religious circles the forgiveness part is normally left out. The phrase often repeated is "Jesus died for your sins" without any mention of forgiveness. Since that is the common turn of phrase then this depicts children suffering/dying because of the sins of someone else.
  
  12
- I mean this whole Jesus thing is pretty fucked up / meta, so I see no difference here

Holy fucking shit

what is top middle

6
- Tourism and its effects on local people? Idk
  
  11
  
  I'm guessing sex tourism
  
  32
- Camera implies upskirts I think.
  
  5
- Asian sex tourism, cf Gary Glittter

- Since it could be so many things like the other comments are pointing out, I think it's supposed to prompt conversation.

  This answer is such a cop out.
  
  We're having a conversation about how pointless and confusing the piece is, not the intended message.

I dont understand the middle one in the upper row and the left one in the bottom row. The rest are pretty obvious to me.

4
- Upper middle I think is sex trafficking - used to be huge in Thailand.
  
  Bottom left... Abortion?
  
  11
  
  Maybe but the bottom left looks like an organ transporting container and i dont think they use that for abortions. But ig its art even tho i dont agree with everything it represents.
  
  9
- Bottom left looks like forced organ harvesting? Not sure how often that actually happens to children, but the world is a fucked up place so it's possible I suppose.

Wait. What's the doctor one?

- Organ harvesting

  That kid is way too young for organ harvesting though. Most of the demand for organs is from adults who need adult sized organs and kid organs won't keep growing in a body that's long stopped producing all the hormone indicators to signal for growth.
  
  or... or, so I'm told.
  
  14
  
  But what’s the context? I’m completely unaware that doctors were murdering or sacrificing children to steal their organs.

It really makes you think
