Nipple tattooist 'frustrated' by online censorship

The nipples in question are not real but realistic pictures, applied after surgery that removes real nipples. So it's a medical cosmetic tatto, not a bizarre erotic kink.

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.

Unfortunately for the tattooist, the UK government considers it "harmful" nudity. I'm not sure why the BBC reporter is ignoring that fact.

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.

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

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

What a fucking stupid Internet we've ended up with, with vocabulary like "unalive" or "corn", and influencers beeping every controversial word so the censorship machine doesn't stop their "content" from "going viral"...

Meanwhile OnlyFans is booming. And we try to look away but news of the ongoing bloodbath from the killing fields still sicker through.

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.

And how do you drive traffic to it? Advertising on Instagram?
dTal•22m ago
The funny thing about Instagram is that it's both:

1) One the most prudish social networks, in the West at least

2) The primary funnel to OnlyFans

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

> "They shouldn't be treated as something shameful or sexual," she said.

Curious that the BBC is completely ignoring the UK government insane demands for mandatory OS level client side scanning malware on every device to block all nudity. This tattooist may find themselves unable to even view their work on their own smartphone.

> Carter says her posts are automatically removed "nine times out of 10". She always appeals the decision, but "it's as if nobody even reads it".

There are multiple large communities of people who have suffered false bans with no functioning appeal system to solve the issue. You are basically screwed unless you or someone you know has connections to the company that can resolve the issue. Politicians and those with enough fame or money don't understand this, because their accounts get special treatment.

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.
