that look like phalluses or pornography

It's a bizarre sculpture.

I found out about it a while ago (yesterday), in response to a post by former President Obama.

What do you see it as?? symbolism? I can't think of a name for it, I guess I should be better at recognizing a sign like that.

#TheEmbrace, a $10 million bronze sculpture honoring #MartinLutherKingJr. and Coretta Scott King, is unveiled in #Boston."

"The piece was met with much criticism and ridicule on social media, with many Twitter users finding the sculpture ugly, and others saying it looked phallic or pornographic when viewed from different angles[12]"
