In a separate post, a male user expressed frustration after RedNote censored a photo of his upper body. “Why can’t I post photos of my fitness and abs?” he asked, adding he had “never had such a problem on TikTok and Instagram.”

A Chinese user suggested that he try covering his nipples, as Chinese social media platforms generally impose restrictions on displaying them when it is perceived as sexually suggestive.

Oof ouch my male privilege

Oof I’m glad to see we are learning the right lessons from this.

Sure, the problem is, that male nipples are allowed in the West, not the other way round...

Equality is equality 🤷🏻‍♂️

Either we ban male nipples or let female nipples fly. Both would then be equal. One way would just be more fun than the other.

I for one fully support women nipples flying.

The fact that one would be more fun than the other implies that equality (on that front) isn't in the cards.

Covering all nipples: Not fun.

Exposing all nipples: Fun.

I'm pansexual; all nipples are fun. But only when they're free.

Ah, I got you now. At least that's consistent.

Meh, that's just a cultural difference
