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.

Declaring everything you deem negative to be a devilish foreign import will get you nowhere fast. A pastime for those who are drawn more to the act of ascribing blame than solving what they claim to be significant issues.

In fact, every nipple on the internet is not real, but just a flat, realistic picture.

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

Does it? UK law doesn’t, and the BBC shows pictures of it.

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.

Follow the money

Where's the money in censoring nipples?

Obvious: Look at who funds the BBC and who they are not criticizing.
