/tg/Station 13

Bottom post of the previous page:

I made a painting of my SS13 character shirtless and uploaded it to the archive (seeing as there are numerous paintings of busty anime girls and bikini-clad felinids, not to mention the countless erotica novels in the library and the plentiful examples of raunchy non-pornographic content coded directly into the game (sexy clown and mime costumes, leather BDSM outfit, the strip clubs in maints on Birdshot and Pubby, that one line beepsky has, etc.) my painting is fairly tame by comparison.)

It remained in the archive for quite a while but was recently removed without any notice or message to me. I consulted the official Tg discord server in multiple channels and the only answer I really got was that nobody knew who removed it or why.

So with no reason why it was removed, I could only conclude that either:
1. Some idiot removed it because they mistook a guy named "Matty" for a woman.
2. Some idiot hates pixel art of shirtless men.
I painstakingly repainted it and added it back to the archive (faster than the original painting since I had a screenshot for reference but it still took a solid 20-30 minutes.)

The very next round someone was already carrying it around and whining that it's too lewd and that they were going to "appeal to the gods to get it removed" so I got a message from an admin asking me to not repaint it if it was already removed. I explained my situation that I had received no notice that my painting was taken down and consulting discord got me nowhere. It only seemed to end with the idea that nipples shouldn't be in art even if they're male nipples to which I disagree. Discussing it further on the discord revealed that another admin actually did see my painting multiple times ingame and thought it was perfectly fine not to mention when I shared it in #art-general for the first time, nobody had any issues with it.

Here's the original picture (all four pixels of the lascivious male nipples censored for your safety)


And here's the remake


I would really NOT like to have to make it a third time or have to remake it with a bikini top.

So basically are male nipples in paintings allowed in-game despite being allowed on the official tg/Station discord server?

If not, why? What Sherlockian reasoning do you have?

Free the Nipple

Can deleted painting be recovered

In a platform where playing Cyberpunk 2077 or those old God of War games is ok, I think a pixelated tit appearing once a while is not the end of the world

This is an actual good argument. Some people are made uncomfortable with depictions of nudity. There's nothing wrong with that.

Sad

Admins be like you can't make a painting about 2 pixel nipple
Admins also be like but us playing tick tock visually ingame with barechested tf2 characters and their nipples out is OK

It's allowed, but our admin team are prudes and will delete them all. And we will do nothing about it.
The nipples are only as free as our prudish admin team are to delete them.
