I’ll never understand how a nipple is more offensive than shooting someone.
But full nudity and sex? Noooo, we can't have that! Thanks, Puritan America.
Male and female bodies will never be the same, and they shouldn't be.
That should have zero implications on equality though. It means that it is trickier to achieve
Do you have a point?

I think the reason people see demonization as censorship follows the same lines as seeing non-government censorship or "ceasing to do business" (in an industry that generally does business with everybody) as censorship. They aren't exactly going out and burning books, sure, but it's certainly exclusionary and it's certainly targeted.
What's wrong with demonitizing all the videos of gay people? "It's not censorship." Still seems to have most of the negative impacts of censorship. It's a spade to me.
The assumption being in this case that advertisers will pay for ads when a man creates a nude female torso and not when a woman creates a nude female torso and YouTube is simply acting on their behalf?
Having a binary 'you have been demonetized' flag just seems like a way to stir discontent.
She has not been demonetised, despite the clickbait title, but classified as adult which means roughly 99% less ad revenue.
Correct
So SexyCyborg would, unsurprisingly, prefer to be on youtube. But she's also dancing on the edge of what people call "adult" (again, I'm presenting no personal opinion here: take it up with Liberty Mutual if you don't like the definition). So naturally she's going to have trouble with those boundaries. PornHub never would have kicked her off, but she doesn't want to be on PornHub.
It's all about money here, not freedom. That was my point.
I wouldn't jump the gun on allowing sexualization everywhere since it can have pretty bad effects on some people.
Now whether this is sexual or not is another matter.
There's a distinction worth making between voyeurism and sexualizing others but when someone portrays themselves as they want to be seen I have no idea why that needs to be put in some sort of box. Because there ought to be nothing offensive about sex, which is just about the most natural thing on earth.
And of course for some reason everything is assumed to be sexualized, from a sculpture of a torso to even breastfeeding mothers, I still remember 'female presenting nipples' on what was it, tumblr? It's like some sort of cursed feedback loop where the repression leads people to be horny about every sight of a nipple.
Have you seen other cultures? US culture is one of the LEAST repressed cultures.
Worldwide I’d put the US just on the conservative Side of the middle line regarding sexuality.

But if says there's more prepressed than Puritan.
I disagree. Yes it's multicultural; but there are unified attitudes and cultural behaviors that purvey the country. Foreigners who come from abroad to live here maintain their own cultural identity while adopting American culture.
What do you mean by strong cultural weight? You mean like Japan or China?
China has no cultural weight on English speaking countries.
This thread is a goldmine of the most politically correct ways to say "the middle east doesn't count"
This isn't the same as Turkey, but their cultural weight does not impact English speaking countries.
I would also probably feel offended if Google told me that my breasts are pornographic just because of their size.
I think it’s kind of like when you read “public is outraged” and in reality there’re three people writing angry tweets.
You can say "USA", no need to bring the whole "western civilization" generalization into this.
