Remove my nips? Where would the jewelry go? No way.
No. It just doesn’t make sense to get unnecessary surgery, especially if it’s just a fad.
The nipples in anime or other cartoons just aren’t necessary. It’s difficult to draw nipples, or any other smaller detail, without them being more of a distraction unless it’s done very realistically. Cartoons will often skip on a lot of those sorts of elements because they’re just not relevant. For instance, finger nails are often left out, you often don’t see guys with hairy chests or arms unless it’s a specific part of their character. Sometimes they leave out things like eyebrows or lips too, depending on the style.
For the Bat-Nipples, similar sort of deal. The suit is supposed to emphasize his muscles and nipples just aren’t relevant. He’s derived from the comics, so the same sorts of rules derive from that. Even for spandex wearing heroes, how many of them have nipples poking through their uniforms? Sure, for a real person, missing nipples would be as weird as seeing someone who shaved their eyebrows, things would seem off until you realize what’s missing, but because it’s not the actual nipples and its derived from art, it is more of a deliberate decision to include them rather than the other way around.
This poll has been very enlightening! I can’t believe there actually IS a nipple removal procedure… and that sometimes the area is left even more sensitive than before…
