Because SOMEHOW people need to be reminded of things from literally ten years ago:

"Free the nipple" never meant "free to not wear a bra" or "free to breastfeed." Those were adjacent conversations that of course "free the nipple" supporters would boost, but that was NEVER the core of free the nipple.

The core of free the nipple was always that the breasts of people perceived as women ("female-presenting nipples" to use some Tumblr speak) are in no way different than the breasts of people perceived as men. And that since the chests of people perceived as men are not sexualized and are allowed to be exposed, so too should the breasts of people perceived as women. If men can be topless, so can women. If it's inappropriate for women to show their chests, neither should men. It isn't sexual assault for a woman to walk around barechested, because it isn't sexual assault for a man to do so either, and breasts are NOT sexual organs.

Claiming breasts are inherently sexual organs is factually and morally wrong, it is sexist and controlling, it is a tool of oppression, and it defines normal body parts (and bodily functions) as sex which leads to inherent sexualization of people with those parts. It leads to 12 year olds with large breasts being accused of seducing 40 year old men or trying to distract and corrupt their classmates.

"Free the nipple" doesn't mean "free the nipple in a god-fearing way." It means FREE THE NIPPLE, full stop, end of sentence. It means to free the nipple of the faulty social constructs that cast it as a sexualized, malicious force of seduction instead of a normal body part that should be free of expectations of shame or "modesty."

Breasts and nipples aren't shameful, sexual, immoral, porn-adjacent, kinks, a distraction, or things to be feared. They are a part of your body just like your elbows and ankles, and being afraid of them, thinking they will corrupt some innocent person or that being exposed to them is trauma akin to sexual assault, is the entire fucking problem.

Free the nipple, not just for breastfeeding, not just from bras, but from the fucked up social constructs that cast them as malicious instead of innocent. Stop trying to sanitize "free the nipple" for puritanical, conservative audiences who already hate you and the rest of us. You aren't helping anyone.

Free the nipple means FREE THE NIPPLE.

You go into a creepy mansion and there's a cloaked figure learning how to play the organ from a YouTube tutorial on their phone. You leave them to it.

I want this to be an Easter egg for speed runners in a video game. You normally find the boss playing the organ if you play for the normal like 20+ hours that you would be required in a standard playthrough, but if you horse tilt noclip through the castle in BK mode you find the boss taking a piano lesson.

Before I watched NBC's Hannibal I would see GIFs on Tumblr with subtitles like "I gave you a child, if you recall," and "Is your social worker in that horse?" and assume they were joke memes, like incorrect quotes or imagines for comedic effect. But every single time it turned out to be canon, and every single time I was flabbergasted to be proven wrong about the most batshit, "only an unhinged fanfic writer could have come up with this" level of lore.

The last straw was when people wouldn't stop going on about "slutty little Will Graham" and how he was practically asking for it and I thought, "I know we love our MLM ships on this here website but sometimes you guys just read too much into things. I know Hugh Dancy's handsome but it is simply physically impossible to 'seductively' lean against a ladder --

And then I saw it and was like, oh.

Wow. Boy was I wrong. Like he really just... did... that. Huh.

Ran his hands up and down the wood and everything. In a way that can only be described as stroking. Caressing.

And the heaving bosom? So unnecessary. Like, there's only so much I can defend.

And I had to accept that for once, even the thirstiest people in the fandom were not exaggerating. There really is no other explanation for this. They could announce Omegaverse to be canon in Season 4 and the plot of seasons 1-3 would still make sense with minimal changes. (He SCENTS the AIR whenever Will walks in, for fuck's sake.)

Having watched the show now, this is my formal apology for doubting you guys. Go forth and write your smut -- honestly it can't get worse than what they've already broadcast.

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

Did your high school have some kind of “water war” and did you participate?

For context, WikiHow explains it best: “Senior Assassin, or Senior Water Wars, has become a common tradition for many high school seniors across America. Each participant is assigned a “target” they must eliminate by squirting them with a water gun. The last student remaining wins the game and typically receives a cash prize.”

Yes, yes

No, yes (somehow?)

No, no

In high school now, yes, planning on participating

In high school now, yes, not planning on participating

#my high school did not but my university program did #I did pretty well but a lot of people stopped playing so nobody ended up winning
