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

[-] Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 52 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BuddyTheBeefalo@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So you want NSFW tags for all nipples?

[-] mriormro@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago
[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Or no NSFW tags for any nipples, but it'll be a while before that becomes practical.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 42 points 2 years ago

You answered your own question there - sexism and patriarchy, which need women as objects and property, not individuals worthy of individual freedoms.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 33 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

And if you think about it, family culture comes from religion

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago

Some people enjoy being anal-retention to dicks, I am unsure about the logistics of doing that with a nipple

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.....

[-] Maestro@kbin.social 86 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 41 points 2 years ago

Makes you wonder at what size of breasts does it become NSFW and should men with boobs be censored? 🤔

[-] deo@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 years ago

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

[-] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

Or visa versa.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] sky@codesink.io 9 points 2 years ago

No kidding, mine are legitimately 3x larger? I spent my whole life already insecure about how large they were 😅

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

[-] tty84@lemmy.dbzer0.com 54 points 2 years ago

Yeah, and all nipples are not equal.

You can't tell me what to do!

uses them for eyeballs instead

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 years 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!

[-] BuddyTheBeefalo@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago
[-] Cyberwitch_7493@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago

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.)

[-] BuddyTheBeefalo@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

We had a high school assistant principal who made the men's swim team cover their nipples in yearbook photographs.

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 ...

[-] ARk@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

That would just mean we weren't gay

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Lefty Memes

5736 readers
199 users here now

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist memes


That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)


0.5 [Provisional Rule] Use alt text or image descriptions to allow greater accessibility


(Please take a look at our wiki page for the guidelines on how to actually write alternative text!)

We require alternative text (from now referred to as "alt text") to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.

We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.

When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don't add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here


Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such


That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.


That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.


The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)


6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
