Forum:Toplessness

There are various anime with topless scenes. It appears that we can show this with males, but with females it isn't allowed because Wikia finds female nipples offensive or 'more nude' or something like that?

I am wondering if anyone knows any discussions on the main Wikia about this, or if it's actually just a rule or a bias enforced by the image review?

since March, has been up since March and shows n illustrated nipple. has been around since February and shows a live one. since June 2011 though in this case it is 'nudity' from the back.

http://www.wikia.com/Terms_of_use is what I want to get educated about, but there really is nothing there. We agree to not "Post or transmit any content that is obscene, pornographic, abusive, offensive, profane" ...

But nudity is not abusive. Much of what is denied has artistic merit so it is not obscene. Profanity is a term that applies to language, not images.

So I can only think that nipples or nudity is 'offensive' to some staff who delete them? I don't even understand this because in theory ANY content on ANY wikia project could be 'offensive' to any given person.

It's really a criteria that should get removed since it's so broad it allows the power to delete anything. By what justice is it applied here without actually going out of the way to explain that interpretation to us? +Yc 05:08, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's possible to get away with it, ecchi anime Wikis such as this one shows females naked breasts.  http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s145/urbancowgurl777/White_Flash.png   15:15, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess my mindset is I don't so much want to 'get away with' anything. Issues like this may just be a case of the image reviewers not getting around to censoring them yet. Ideally, I want them to know of and defend such images. They talk about it not being family-friendly or some nonsense, well not all wikis are about family-friendly topics. Pro wrestling for example had many plotlines not suitable for young children to be seeing, yet we have an extensive wiki about that. +Yc 19:06, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

Also due to the biasedness of the 'topless' adjective, should I change this topic to topfree? Topfreeness? Topfreedom? Barechestedness? +Yc 19:36, August 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think the image reviewers are going to be used much in the future, and no need to change the topic.--Sxerks (talk) 21:01, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
