Council for Casual Nakedness?

Another discussion post, inspired by this last picture. One thing I’ve never really explored, or honestly thought about too much, is the question of who exactly is in favor of permanent nudity. No doubt it would be a political issue in this world. It’s pretty easy to imagine who’d be against it, religious conservatives would not be pleased I expect. Although since nude punishments and voluntary registration are kind of a package deal, perhaps some could get on board with it for that reason. And conversely, I can imagine some on the left are probably critical of the involuntary aspect  from a “social justice” perspective, even though it seems pretty clearly preferable to prison.

But who exactly is in favor of it? Just naturists? Hard to imagine them having enough political clout. General libertarian types? “If people wanna be naked, that’s cool. Doesn’t hurt anyone.” I mean if this were real I’d probably support it mostly for that reason. But that still seems a little weak.

A related question is what the official stance is. Like does the government actively encourage permanent nudity? If so, why? I kind of imagine they’d be fairly neutral. Their interest in nude punishments is clear, it’s a cheaper alternative to prison, but if anything voluntary nudity undercuts that somewhat.

I’m curious if any of you have thought about these things, and if so, how you imagine this all playing out.
