There is a wide range between "medical procedure" and "bizzare kink". Most of the world can handle a nipple. Hell, babies suck on em. It's disturbing how repressed attitudes are being exported from the US.

Follow the money

The BBC is a good outlet, but their big blindspot is that it's pro-establishment. Now, when your government isn't a flaming pile of dogshit, this is less egregious of a bias than in the rare contemporary time when your President, say, wants to build monuments to himself and rapes children.

It's a whiff, here, for sure. But that's the reason why: the government is Good, and it certainly won't screw up spectacularly.

Does it? UK law doesn’t, and the BBC shows pictures of it.

In fact, every nipple on the internet is not real, but just a flat, realistic picture.

BBC buries the lede slightly when its clearly Meta's censoring in specific.

Pretty realistic work in aesthetically restorative tattoos I will say that.

Pretty much any content or community that regularly self polices thought crime language I immediately dislike and block forever. I have slightly more tolerance for beeping over swear words, but not much.

Given how poorly companies like Meta police content in ads, that might actually work.

It only solves half the equation - being able to host the pictures somewhere. Getting the work seen is the other half, and arguably the most important for such artists. Most people are not fumbling on their personal website without getting to see the work in the first place.

It's also a workaround, and completely misses the point.

The irony went over my head this whole time, now that you mention it! Kudos for the observation.

UK government insane demands for mandatory OS level client side scanning malware on every device to block all nudity.

The fuck?

A woman could be nude for all intents and purposes, but as long as her areola and crotch are still covered by some strained piece cloth that leaves little of what it is supposed to hide to the imagination, it's still a-ok. I can't tell if its an elobrate charade or if the mere thought of female anatomy actually compromised some people's intelligence to such a degree we ended up with this delicious clownshow.

The hypersensitivity to only overly specific areas of skin of some US-based services was bewildering to the average European a decade ago, but we really should be over it by now. The time for frustration and confusion is over, and it ought to be the era of open amusement.

We have communities that sexualize all kind of things, like kids, that’s what we cannot have nice things.
