      Not in my state. In fact, you can’t even show underboob, because anything “the female breast below the top of the areola” is illegal. It’s legal in Alaska and a super conservative neighbor state, so why not my stupid state?

      In most states, it’s legal to walk around toppless.

      However that doesn’t atop some Karen type from calling the police to come and harass you. And there’s no guarantee the cop that shows up won’t decide you are disturbing the peace or something.

      Nor does it stop immature bros from being idiots about it and making the person feel unsafe.

      Most tribes walk around topless. Theyre teenagers aren’t mentally damaged by seeing nipples. Maybe someday society will grow beyond christian values.

    I think they call it “female-presenting”, so if it looks like female nipples to them, then they ban it.

    Instagram is stupid anyway.

      If you think the human female nipple is offensive and must erased from our perception then you are an anti-human enemy, your continued existence is an affront, you must be terminated.

    this is interesting as fuck

    “I’m really interested in algorithmic enforcement …” Ada Ada Ada told me in an interview. “It seemed like the nipple rule is one of the simplest ways … because it’s set up as a very binary idea—female nipples no, male nipples, yes. But then it prompts a lot of questions: what is male nipple? What is a female nipple?”

    She’s using her own journey as a trans person to document how AI tools like those used by Instagram identify potentially obscene material.

    If women’s nipples are censored because they are considered sexual, men’s should be too. I know more than a few women who are sexuality aroused by topless men.

      As a bloke who’s had his pecs groped in intimate acts, I would agree.

      It is however worth mentioning that the sexualisation of the pecs and boobs is a man-made construction brought upon by Christian values and one day we may even move past those values and desexualise these body parts.
