Keen eye! It's actually protestant propaganda hence a nun with a schlong rosary. But it had just as much shitpost energy at the time as it does today 😄

Reading the term "fish abstinence" just coughed up this medieval carricature from the back of my mind

The name is awkwardly close to one of my favorite podcasts and I was afraid there was some sort of horrible scandal involving them.

My first thought was that it was a group of women who had it out for dudes with fishing profile photos on Tinder. Cuz guys never take selfies, so in many cases their only decent photos are when they’re holding up a fish.

Thank you, this was helpful, because this is the internet and I've seen some weird videos.

In case anyone didn't read the article and are unsure like I was, these are women running their own fishing vessels and so that they aren't forced into a position where they must trade sex for a supply of fish to sell, they are NOT promoting fish abstinence.
