Why are women’s nipples considered unacceptable anyway? It seems really sexist in my opinion to say that male nipples are acceptable but female ones aren’t
- DessertStorms ( @DessertStorms@kbin.social ) 33•1 year ago
You answered your own question there - sexism and patriarchy, which need women as objects and property, not individuals worthy of individual freedoms.

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.

Some people enjoy being anal-retention to dicks, I am unsure about the logistics of doing that with a nipple
- Comment105 ( @Comment105@lemm.ee ) English16•1 year ago
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.

and when someone transitions… it’s … the /same/ nipple, but it used to be illegal and unseemly - but now is perfectly legal to show everywhere , strange…

I’ve seen a surgery documentary on TV about transitioning. They showed the surgeon doing the breast surgery. It was all uncensored, nipples and all, until the very second the doc put the silicone bag under the skin. Then they pixelated the nipple. The same nipple they were showing all along.

I once saw a Japanese arse eating video like that, no pixelation until the tongue touched the rim, then pixelated as if we didn’t know what was happening.

Came here to tell the same story. They used to play some crazy shit on TLC before the reality show takeover.

For the other way round it would be vice versa, which is even more funny IMO - all of a sudden showing your previously legal nipples in public is now illegal

idea: cover post-transition nipple with pre-transition nipple

Yeah, and all nipples are not equal.
- DessertStorms ( @DessertStorms@kbin.social ) 9•1 year ago
I’d love to know how you think this is relevant to op?
- tty84 ( @tty84@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 13•1 year ago
Because we are talking about unacceptable female nipple, isn’t it?
Or maybe the problem isn’t the nipple itself, but the context in which it’s shown.
And, after all, your are still free to put OP’s male nipple on these pictures :)
- DessertStorms ( @DessertStorms@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
Or maybe the problem isn’t the nipple itself, but the context in which it’s shown.
In the meme you posted, the context of the photo on the left is basically sexual assault (one person exposing another without their consent), and the meme itself implies that the (justified) reaction to it is overblown, as if it is comparable to someone willingly exposing themselves.
It is not.
The meme is a really bad take in its own right, and has nothing to do with free the nipple.- pinkdrunkenelephants ( @pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz ) English10•1 year ago
How is the meme on the right non consensual? That lady is smiling in the photo and people from Africa are not fucking idiots. They know they’re being photographed for National Geographic. She clearly does not give a fuck.
- Fushuan [he/him] ( @fushuan@lemm.ee ) English3•1 year ago
The right one implies consent, the left one doesn’t that’s why it’s wrong because the meme implies that both are similar and thus the reaction to the left was overblown, which is wrong because the context is completely different.
- pinkdrunkenelephants ( @pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz ) English3•1 year ago
If they’re trying to imply Janet Jackson was sexually assaulted over a simple accident that literally happened live on TV that no one could anticipate or stop, then I don’t know what to tell them.
Did Janet Jackson ask for the wardrobe malfunction photos to be erased from the internet?

They r looking at the camera, African people know what a camera does.

Where the fuck did I even imply they don’t???
- Dontfearthereaper123 ( @Dontfearthereaper123@lemm.ee ) English0•1 year ago
When u said it was non consensual. If I’m nude and look at a camera smiling, I think that implies there was prior consent.

Thanks for the article OP, but it’s got a clickbatey headline, it doesn’t actually answer what took so long (or investigate why they made the change in the first place.)
I think it was a rhetorical question.
I posted it because they point out the problems with this unequal body censorship and show that things are hopefully changing.
With the shift to Lemmy, instances and communities could stand with the ‘free the nipple’ movement. Let’s be the change.
- Franzia ( @Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English11•1 year ago
Not only are female breasts legal where I live IRL, many Lemmy communities consider them SFW under non-sexual conditions. Godspeed everybody, free the nipple!
