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

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
And if you think about it, family culture comes from religion
Because muricans.
It’s just because of sexualixation and prude people pressuring the fuck out of those platforms. Although a bit unnecessary imho I don’t mind seeing a tiddy on insta, they’ll have to add a nsfw tag tho. Insta is prob going to decline into even more onlyfans advertisements
Because most women choose to keep tops on and most cultures find them sexual. You can go topless in 95% of places in the West that allow shirts off. Women choose to keep the tops on.
In most of those places, there are laws against feminine presenting people from being topless. They don’t “just choose” to have a top on.
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.
Makes you wonder at what size of breasts does it become NSFW and should men with boobs be censored? 🤔

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

Did she get censored?

My nipples certainly aren’t the same, they’re far larger and the shape has changed, it’s pretty insane actually. Our bodies are way more plastic than we think.
idea: cover post-transition nipple with pre-transition nipple
Or visa versa.
Assuming ftm
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
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!
Yeah, and all nipples are not equal.
She fat
I’d love to know how you think this is relevant to op?
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 :)
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 (comparable. Because one is consensual and the other is not, which apparently needs further pointing out to some people who are deliberately misunderstanding, but also proving my point for me).
The meme is a really bad take in its own right, and has nothing to do with free the nipple (E: but clearly there are still plenty of people willing to join the gaslight Janet Jackson bandwagon for the sake of an irrelevant and badly made point)
They r looking at the camera, African people know what a camera does.
Where the fuck did I even imply they don’t???
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.
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.
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.
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?
thinking for half a second ought to catch you up bud

gonna be real awkward if one day that nipple model transitioned…
Transing my gender and suddenly having my nips get banned
We had a high school assistant principal who made the men’s swim team cover their nipples in yearbook photographs.
So they put on bikini tops for the photos?
They put their hands over their nipples but I like your idea better.
No, they just tastefully covered their nipples with the tips of their index fingers
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.
It’s more likely than you think
This is very helpful, what a kind gesture
How can we be sure … what if we all use it and later discover we have been banned since this nipple comes from a wonderful wemen uhh …
That would just mean we weren’t gay
