The US is so full of bullshit puritans. A nipple is the end of times for children but gun ownership is fine and dandy.

I watched this live and it was barely visible, lol. I couldn't believe people were so scandalized by it.

Me too, I watched it with my dad and we were both like whatever.

For real I was young but my family didnt even react to it that I remember

yeah i remember watching it live and thought whatever dance move justin was doing was awkward but didn't realize what had actually happened

I was a kid at a Super Bowl party with my dad and all I remember a brief flash of a nipple and Janet’s horrified face. I’ll never forget how she went from scowling like a badass to being visibly mortified and ashamed. Fuck Justin Timberlake.

Japan has the opposite! Nips on commercials and no guns!

[trendsnational]

Brasil has both. 😂

I know you don't mean harm & I'm in no way trying to start shit but I think you should be careful with the "nipples/boobs are for children" discourse bc a woman's body is hers, and not "meant" for someone else. If she so wishes to have a kid & use those nipples to feed them, by all means she should but it's dangerous to normalize that narrative bc not every woman wants to/can have kids, and not every woman who has them can feed them through breast milk.

So let's not demonize nipples not bc they're "for" children but bc they're a natural part of a body that shouldn't be frowned upon ;)

If that's how you wanna do it then, go ahead. Good day.

Nipples are also an erogenous zone, and they're not less important if they're just that. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging biology but all I meant is that we shouldn't attribute value to body parts solely on their biological function. That discourse reminds me too much of "uteruses are meant to create life" which I find incredibly harmful when you consider infertile women who deeply wish to be bio moms. It just feeds into the idea that they're a failure because their body isn't doing what is "meant" to do. Our body parts deserve respect regardless of their biological functions.

There's clearly a double standard sure, but like I said, I wasn't trying to start shit because I do know what you meant, I just felt the need to point out something that I found relevant to the discussion as well.

it’s all about what straight men find arousing.
