I'm still waiting for someone to offer an argument for why nipples that "look female" are "sexually explicit nudity" but nipples that "look male" are not, that doesn't boil down to "because misogyny."

meme with the "male" and "female" symbols, with a vaguely identifiable photo of a cropped nipple inside of each, captioned:
(next to the male symbol) "safe-for-work, nonsexual, child friendly"
(next to the female symbol) "sexually explicit, adult nudity, dangerous to children"
Bottom caption: Make it make sense.

Hahaha... I was getting frustrated not finding good reference photos of a man wearing medieval leather boots, then I remembered I had an ancient pair myself and they're too small now but they're perfect on my 9yo son so I had him model them for me and now I've got tons of drawing references 😁

Unless my regular viewer who really likes Lies of P comes to watch, I think I'll continue working on the illustration I started last week of the two main characters in my novel... I'm still mildly obsessed with them and can't get them out of my head 😅

Did another three hours of writing on my novel before forcing myself to stop so I can get ready for my livestream... I was really "in the zone" today, I wrote about ten pages that I think are quite good 😄

Do you not understand what "these" are?

I'm sure their decision was at least a tiny bit based around picking someone who's trump's polar opposite 😂

The rule in naturism is that you shouldn't say something to someone not wearing clothes that you wouldn't say it to someone who is. I'd say that applies here too. If it's rude to say "nice tits" to someone with a tube top or a bikini, why would it suddenly be okay just because they're topless?

Exactly! Same principle extends to a woman who is merely topless! (though the video will go into why feeling behooved to announce your judgement of a woman's body is often belittling, even when she's dressed, even when you "mean it as a compliment"...)

Holy shit ow 😣 my cat decided to jump on the table to the side of me right as I bent down to put on my sandals... Resulting in her slamming headfirst into my nose 😵‍💫 I almost felt like it would start bleeding...

Nude? Hell, just having "female presenting nipples" is enough to get all my stuff censored as "sexually explicit" even when I pre label them as "nonsexual nude" 🙃

I'm getting so tired of BlueSky labeling everything as 'adult'.
This is NOT sexually explicit.

oh yeah i know it's AI, it's instantaneous. The issue is that the "appeal" button does nothing, at least for me (: (somehow others have a lot more success getting bullshit autolabels removed....I'm jealous)

Here's another screenshot from the "why it's rude to tell a woman 'nice tits'" video I'm editing if anyone wants to turn it into a "crazy ex girlfriend: topless edition" meme 😂

screenshot from the video showing me nonsexually topless while wearing a slightly unhinged smile

obligatory misogyny and sexism from @moderation.bsky.app by automatically labeling anything with my heinous female nipples in them as "sexually explicit adult content," even when I already pre-label them as NONsexual nudity(not that female nipples should be considered "nudity" if male nipples arent)

screenshot showing that bluesky automatically applied an "explicit sexual images" label to my above post, already labeled "nonsexual nudity" by me

screenshot from my "why it's rude to say to a woman 'nice tits'" social commentary video I'm almost done editing the patriarchy-unapproved version of.

MFW I tell my longtime viewers over and over that my nipples being visible is not permission for gross comments but they say them anyway...

I'm going through my collection of screenshots of gross and/or hateful comments I've gotten over the years to put into this "why it's rude to say to a woman 'nice tits'" video and yikes I forgot about this freak...it's amazing I HAVEN'T been stalked more yet!

Screenshot of an email I received that I censored the name out of:
Would you be interested in doing a private shoot of pornographic material? Considering your reasoning to avoid turning yourself into a sex object, would the reasoning still apply if this was handled privately and kept private? I am able to be very generous if you are hurting for money. You can even name your price.

Second email from the pervert:
Would it change anything if I revealed that we've known each other for a few years now? We have personally met and hung out plenty of times.

yeah it's been a long time coming (the bully has been tormenting him for years) plus now the romantic lead has an opportunity to nurse him back to health xD (and get revenge on the bully in a nonviolent way)

ToplessTopics.org @toplesstopics.bsky.social · 2d

It doesn't matter how many times I say "just because I'm on a porn site, I don't do porn, I'm just not allowed to post my heinous female nipples anywhere else," they don't stop pestering me (:
