    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

    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…

        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.
          The meme is a really bad take in its own right, and has nothing to do with free the nipple.

            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?

    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!

      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.
