Because none of the people calling out Taylor's attire wanted him blacklisted from science, or punished, or to run into a corner and cry. The coolest people in the world (like the ones who land probes on comets) should also be held to the highest standards -- they're the ones that the children of the world are watching for cues. And for young women in the world, a shirt covered in hyper-sexualized women does not send a good message, conscious or otherwise.
What kind of message does having your body covered in disturbing tattoos send?

Excellent point. I wonder how Rachel would explain her “cool guy” displaying such hideous self-mutiliation.
Even former jailbirds know enough to wear long sleeve shirts in public.

Self mutilation and self hate... an important ingredient for any nation needing conquering.

Other than on sailors, I find all tattoos disgusting. Just have no use for them. But they’re very popular with the younger generation (at least for now). I doubt too many under 30 find anything distressing about his tattoos.
But I’m thinking there’s a fortune to be made out there in another 10-20 years when they want to get them removed.
