> Have illustrators hit their maximum allowable peak for racy imagery, or is there still more to come? Here's some inspiration from Japan, from a popular comic for teens called Shonen Jump (as in, this isn't even considered porn). The main pic is racy enough, but it duly censors the nipples. However, if you hold it and the following page up to a light, the illustrated "tapioca pearls" shine through in just the right place. https://soranews24.com/2019/11/06/weekly-shonen-jump-under-fire-for-naked-image-of-busty-manga-girl-with-tapioca-nipples/ https://soranews24.com/2019/11/06/weekly-shonen-jump-under-f... (NSFW, obviously)

What’s so bad about some titties? I ask this seriously.

  Nothing. Seriously, nothing. It’s just that some exceptionally prude people think female nipples are so sexual that they must be hidden. Not sure why, they’re for babies, and that’s the only thing that sets female nipples apart from male nipples, which are not vilified for public exposure. Unless a suckling baby turns them on, which is totally on them. EDIT: Minor clarification

      Back to what separates female nipples from male nipples? It takes a certain amount of prudishness to vilify “immodesty” in only one sex.

    That's certainly not the reason most people I know would typically object to imagery of females where the entire focus is on their outward appearance, which is usually some exaggeration of a fantasy "ideal" that a tiny percentage of real women would actually match. But I'll admit I personally find it offensive because of the implied assumption that most guys it's targeted at aren't able to judge women on any other criteria.

      You have to look at both sides. Women are also attracted to imagery of men where the entire focus is on their outward appearance, which is usually some exaggeration of some fantasy "ideal". Why no outrage articles about those depictions?

None of this is really new for shounen manga and anime. Before the 2000s, it wasn't uncommon for shounen anime broadcast on network TV to show nipples at times.

Of course it's Yuuna-san and the Hot Springs. Somehow I feel like I saw that coming. It's a nice ecchi show actually, kinda like a newer To-Love Ru.
