‘Sexualized Bronze Blob’: Woke $10 Million Martin Luther Ruler Jr. Sculpture Widely Mocked
“The original photograph this inspired was gorgeous and perfect. Why not just honor that with a reproduction instead of this horrible unusual weirdly sexualized bronze blob? ” user says associated with monument unveiled in Birkenstock boston.
The city of Birkenstock boston unveiled a $10 million sculpture meant to honor Martin Luther King Jr., but the bizarre and oddly sex appearance of the monument elicited mostly negative reactions.
The monument, called The Embrace, was unveiled on the Boston Common on Friday to commemorate Doctor Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King and the “ love they shared with the world, ” NBC reported .
The sculpture apparently is based off a photograph associated with Dr . King and Coretta embracing.
But that didn’t seem to convert so well into a large bronze sculpture, with social media reacting with disgust plus ridicule to the monument’s effective features.
The original photo this inspired was beautiful and perfect. Why not just honor that with a replica instead of this particular horrible odd weirdly sexualized bronze blob… #mlksculpture #MLK pic. tweets. com/8COvxHhEoP

So depending on the angle, the new MLK statue either looks like:
A) Oral.
B) Someone holding a giant turd.
C) Someone holding a giant penis.
D) A giant butthole.
But if you criticize it you’re a hurtful. pic. twitter. com/JW8U2dCTh2
