Charlie Brooker of Black Mirror fame is partly to blame, he wanted her to create a character for his yearly Screen Wipe TV show where he critiques the events of the previous year and the two of them came up with Philomena Cunk. A few years later and the character has become an entity larger than the show that created it.

[@cpt.j9751]

Actually, I think it is. Excluding the anus is high indicator of dissonance in reality whether consciously or unconsciously Why exclude the anus?? Either the original had an anus and the one today hasn't a recreated anus. Or never there was an anus. But again... why? Pupils, veins, muscle definition, definition of hair curl pattern but no anus? Either the anus was too sacred for recreation or strictly shunned to the point of embarrassment. When you're groomed that you predestined to procreate and your body autonomy is contingent on this practice Unnatural Sexual repression is self hatred and the logical consequence of unnatural repression. This can lead to sexual confusion, social development issues, and higher probability of violent behaviors.
