Pointless? It did in fact have a point

What's the point if everyone knows it's fake? He stopped taking photos with a prosthetic when he hit his 30s because it was pointless, his arm was amputated above the elbow and people stopped judging people for being amputees, after WWII.

This type of thinking makes people not get vaccinated.

"Big prosthetics (pharma) stopped prosthetics from advancing"

No, maybe the prosthetics were uncomfortable to wear. With the material they were made with. Which was probably wood.

Anything having a mechanical ability to do this would also be rudimentary and not made out of the best materials, I'm guessing this would give the person wearing it sores where the weight would be resting.

But downvote me, my grandfather had one arm, and I use a prosthetic to fuck.
