i dont know if id even call this an 'issue' with salem, but one thing thats always gotten me about hitomi is that salem is like, extremely avoidant of showing her nipples. if her chest is exposed at all she always, and i mean always, has pasties on that cover her nips. His trans men will have nips poking through their shirts, or be peeking out, or just be completely topless- pasties aren't even a common feature with his trans men's tits (just barely covering bikini tops) but for all the bulge art hitomi gets she is NOT allowed to be topless. its such a weird trend thats never been explained she'll have her bulge out, she'll have her dick being sucked or be outright having sex with hitch, and she will always be conveniently posed so that her nips are never shown. the only thing i can think of is that she explicitly has a smaller chest and either isn't on hormones or early in transition/low dose (i think salem has flip flopped between these all) and salem is either subconsciously or *very* consciously uncomfortable with depicting a ""male"" (urgh.) chest even when it belongs to one of the trans girls he claims to want to want to represent openly and sexually. the focus is entirely on her dick, hell despite salems love of bikinis you'll notice hitomi exclusively wears sports bras. She is a little more masc leaning in presentation so something like that wouldn't be too weird if the other shit didnt stick out so much. its just fucking odd especially since he fucking loves talking about his epic boy boobs every single day, and even his more curvy trans girls like tammy show their tits off but he is really, really avoidant of hitomi's chest and i can't see it as anything other than a weird hang up about her body he does not feel when it comes to her dick
