Okay, I've replaced the original picture, but put a black box over the offending part. Happy?

How about we have a male nipple?

It's not the exact point of this trope, but you get the idea.

How about we censor a picture of a shirtless guy? That would be excellent, no?

Now you're just being silly.

I think the picture is perfect as-is.

I've currently been looking for the Arrested Development picture of Tobias and Kitty both flashing Michael and both have the Censor Cloud. That would probably get the point across better than anything we currently have. I remember seeing the episode, but don't remember which episode it was.

Okay, WTF? What was wrong with the picture this time?

We don't need a picture. Like the note says, nobody is confused about what one might look like.

The picture was never intended to show what a nipple looked like, it was intended to represent the trope. I as a fairly prudish, (American)right-wing individual on my first visit to this particular entry saw a female breast in profile with a black rectangle over the nipple and immediately thought "Oh, it's about censorship of female nipples." A picture really is worth a thousand words.

What's more, showing a diagram and then censoring the very thing the diagram is intended to show represents a fantastic piece of tongue-in-cheek humor. Whoever put the image together is a genius who deserves an entry in the Made of Win page.

Aw, shucks, I feel flattered. All the same, nobody argues with Fast Eddie. I just wanted an explanation.

Hey, how about for the picture we just use a classical art piece that involves a topless female? I don't think anyone would be offended by that. After all, the Male Frontal Nudity page did the same with a nude art piece.

I like this idea. However, someone should come up with a very witty caption. ;D

How about a breast with the nipple hidden by a dime?

Is this trope supposed to be about showing or not showing nipples? Because there are examples of both that claim to be this trope, with no mention of which is the straight use and which is the aversion. And the description isn't all that helpful either.

Sorry,but this trope sounds like many of you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.In fact you sound more like pricks rather than being rational about this trope.Plus what's wrong with being a little iffy about sexual things.Sorry but this just a pet peeve trope for me because by the sound it you guys are taking this too far.By your logic lets show private parts fully on kids shows as well or even better you liberated people how about old people private parts.Does that sound good enough for you?Oh,didn't think so, this one trope is just plain stupid.Do you know why we have sexual taboos because then adultry,pedophilia,and other unseamly sexual things would be accepted.I think the reason why there is a taboo about breasts because they have a more sexual air to it.You guys most of all are pretty much saying that showing nipples in kids show shouldn't be taboo.And by the sound of it why does being less prudish worse than being an uncontrolable sex maniac.The sexual liberation isn't all that great you know:yes,we are sexual beings but we must have restraint in what we do.

What should we add on the topic of females who haven't developed the "offending subjects" but are still forbidden to be topless? Another troper added this recently;

In the case of prepubescent females, it could be seen as even more ridiculous, as a little girl's nipples aren't much different from a boy's until she starts developing, but if a girl over the age of 3 and under 18 has her nipples exposed it's considered child porn.

I feel like that should be rewritten.

Not going into a discussion of the trope itself for once, Justifying Edits cut from the Video Games section:
  • It was worse than a "minor controversy", ESRB actually raised the rating from T to M because of this.
    • That's not the whole story; the nipples were a minor controversy that got the ESRB's attention to take another look at the game, and they noticed that a certain ex-Dark Brotherhood victim was revealed in clearer light to be more grisly than they had seen. The graphic violence made the nipples moot and sealed the M-rating.

This is probably the single most biased page on this entire website.

What do you mean, "biased"? Elaborate.

I think Skyhawk431 is saying that the page is pretty much whining about how nipples can't be shown without getting a high rating. The article is pretty much telling the reader, "This should not be taboo! You should hate that it is!"
