Aw man. My characters are too rendered to just do dots, too. It'd look really weird.
Yeah, it's really weird.
I get the female nipple thing (I mean, I think it'd stupid, but society deems breasts too sexy for the public) but male nips... you see 'em everywhere. It's very normal.
I’m saved! Whew. Yeah in the nature of my simplistic style, I have the nipple just be a circle for both men and women. Everything is simplified in my style and that includes nipples and all parts of the body and I mean ALL parts.
Basically, I need to make this work. But without the nipple it looks really weird.
Ignore the lack of pants. There will be pants.
Fair but I wouldn’t draw that. Even if my character like say Pujita is breastfeeding her little daughter I wouldn’t show her breasts because it’s ummm well you get it.
Take this for example.
The feminist in me is so bothered by how weird people are about something as natural as breast feeding, but I totally get where you're coming from.
Yeah that’s pretty good! I have no problem with that.
It’s not weird at all! It’s a beautiful thing. It’s just a form of indecent exposure. That’s a whole other rabbit hole for another discussion lol.
It just looks really weird without the nipple, because the nipple sort of helps to indicate the perspective.
It's been driving me crazy for way too long today. It looks weird, right?
This is cursed! Ahhhhhh! Yeah it looks so weird!
Oh god.
What do I do.
I’d say keep it and if they give you a bad time about just say it’s anatomically correct. I honestly don’t know the lines here. It’s so strange to me that people can get upset about something true to anatomy. That’s the reality! People have nipples!
Male nipples are fine uncensored and untagged for mature content last I checked, so long as they aren't engorged or highlighted in an erotic way.
Yes! That is a good point! As long as it’s not used to simulate erotic images.
I think normal nipples like the ones you drew are fine. Problem is when people make them erotic like @joannekwan mentioned. It usually happens in BL comics where they make extremely erotic and unrealistic nipples for some reason.
Ahhh. You mean like the ones where the characters are weirdly... feminized into straight roles.
Yes, I see.
I've been scarred by those during my research into BL.
Alright, that makes sense.
Nothing wrong with breast feeding, but you have to consider it is not something kids should watch regardless of how natural it is.
Hence why you should not show it if your comic does not have the M tag for that episode. Just like how you should not show someone getting killed on screen or getting drugged on screen unless you have the M tag.
Have nipples on my male characters when their shirts are off. You can't show nipples of a female through clothing (this was a bathing suit and nothing sexual) as my comics was pulled from the app until I edited them. My comics has been reviewed twice by moderators on two separate occasions, and I have had to edit some stuff. The male nipples were not one of the items they listed. Due note, they were not shown in any way sexual. Just guys with shirts off in a pool.
I HEAVLy disagree as someone whose parents have a back ground in nursing and kids with younger siblings. It should be considered just normal feeding of a baby and kids wouldn't honestly care. Its the weirdo adults (usually creepy dudes) that have that creepiness towards it
It is really weird. Talk about unrealistic body image.
