      In a decent number of countries, they are pretty relaxed. You go there, you see nipple (or dick) for 5 seconds, it’s notable, then it fades into the background. People are just anal-retentive about it because of religion and family culture.

    • It wasn’t actually the nipple, it was the breast.

      But as it’s a gradual transition and cleavage, side-boob, underboob, straps and pasties have become normalized, the nipple is the only part left to define as the subject of the “issue”, as it’s the most distinguishable, visually separate and definable part.

      The conservative prudes would prefer a more comprehensive ban, but struggle immensely in legally defining the line of “okay/not okay” in a court of law. They find it much easier to enforce certain clothes as legally obligatory for women, but there’s very little support for that kind of oppression in most parts of the world.
