Grotesque and Bizzare Cuorisity maybe makes someone uncomfortable. But cultural anthropology has made this cultural factor as important, and given property of Mind and Body uniqueness (and Miserable to oppressed people)

Frex,
Of course, Eunuch is most popular and orthodox style of Oriental Cutural Environment,
Mayan Ideal Head Shape Flat Top and Europian Feudal Corset for Ideal Trunk "like Ant Abdomen" are also sinister mutilation in Culture.

Dharma Japanese paper-mashe Doll perhaps most popular scheme in Japanese Election
But if I can adopt this legend to appealing Doll, it's also grotesque : Boddhidharma character (he was at least Real Personality in India and China)
Legend says he Cut his Eyelid keep his mind awaken and Legs were rotted down from his Body becase he kept his legs too long crossed.
(Za-Zen means Meditating Zen Sitting Style of "Nysalor" or Guru of Orm Sinrikyou Asahara Shoko but if you have lumbago ache you should not keep this posture, Ruining)
This posture is not Crossed Leg Style: you must keep your foot over another leg.
IMO, many Idols of Lunar Rufelza, Valare Addi, and Nysalor, Jernotius keep this posture but if Pelorians don't have habit of sitting over Legs directly, difficult style.

Chinese Women bound Foot is miserable in some literature (Wild Swan) but this body mutilation started after Chinese Middle Age of Tang Dynasty and Ancient Chinese don't this Vileness.
