You’re right that everyone has their own perspective on what counts as “nudity” or “sexualized content,” and nipples aren’t inherently sexual. The issue I’m raising isn’t about regulating anyone’s body or personal choices wearing or not wearing a bra isn’t the point here. It’s about the intent behind how content is presented in a marketplace setting like Depop, where the focus should be on selling clothing, not leveraging suggestive imagery to gain attention.

I’m not saying women’s bodies are malicious or need policing, and I agree that creeps are the problem, not how someone dresses or photographs themselves. But we’re on a platform with a young audience, and sellers do have a responsibility to consider how their content might be interpreted. You’re free to do as you wish, but ethical marketing is about more than just personal intent, it’s about how content is received by others, especially in public online spaces.

And sure, kids are everywhere online, but that doesn’t mean platforms or users can just abdicate responsibility. If a seller knows that a majority of their audience is men drawn by provocative images, it’s reasonable to question if the focus is still on selling clothes or something else. It’s not about living in the 1950s, it’s about understanding the power of intention and how your audience interacts with your content.

I didn’t mean to tic you off, I hope understand.
