Sadly, a lot of people genuinely believe this. That all nipples should be censored/covered up.
Look up some discussions about female toplessness online. Unless you are in a queer/very progressive space, a very large number of people would support banning men from being topless too. Most common argument I’ve found wasn’t equality but rather some people being ugly and not wanting to see them.
It’s because the backslash is a special character called an “escape” character. The same way you make italics by putting *asterisks* around something, you can use backslashes to tell the system to ignore other special characters and use them literally. In this case, the underscore, which if you had no backslash would cause the face to be italic, becomes “escaped” by the backslash so we see the underscores as normal. But then you don’t see the backslash.
So you need to “escape” the backslash itself. Put two backslashes, and you’ll see one. ¯\(ツ)/¯ ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
But then you’re no longer escaping the underscores. So now you’ve got one backslash, but the face is italic and you don’t see any underscores.
So instead, as a final step, add a third backslash. The first backslash escapes the second one, so we see the second one. Then the third escapes the underscore, so we see the underscore. (For a bit of extra security, you can optionally also escape the second underscore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Who censored the beautiful nipnips of poor
SisyphusAtlas?If female nipples are still considered obscene, the same rules should apply to everyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I feel like the argument “If some people are wronged, everyone should be wronged!” has some flaws.
It’s rather meant to show the absurdity of censoring female nipples (in a small sidenote)
I would propose censoring female nipples with male nipples then. Since the latter need not be censored.
This is perfect

In that case, just ban ugly people entirely, not only their nipples.
You missed a great opportunity for an “Atlas shrugged” quip.
Yeah, always better if all equally lose, instead of letting others win. Our society is doomed with a mindset like this.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯\ you dropped this bud
I really tried

¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯It worked! Thank you for the explanation :)
Isn’t that Atlas?
You’re right.
don’t want to scare the horses
The one who was seeking for your engagement.
No worries: this is Atlas. S*syphus is not censored
