    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

      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

      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.

      Because most women choose to keep tops on and most cultures find them sexual. You can go topless in 95% of places in the West that allow shirts off. Women choose to keep the tops on.

        In most of those places, there are laws against feminine presenting people from being topless. They don’t “just choose” to have a top on.

      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.

        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?

        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.

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

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.
