Current Events > Are men's bare chests allowed to be posted on gamefaqs?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If so, does that apply to trans men as well?

You will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the TOS.

I don't plan to post any, but I'm curious if it is just female looking chests are banned or how they really decide what is ok and what is not.

Also the reason this popped into my head was I was scolling through the internets and say a shirtless picture of Elliot Page and it just got me wondering.

@Error1355 What say you sir?

Someone got modded for posting Elliot Pages pre-transition breasts.

I was actually curious about the inverse tho, I want to show off my yearly weight loss (like 65-70lbs), and while I wear a bra now, my before picture is before I started transitioning, is it enough to just censor the nips?

Thats what I'm wondering about really. Like if I posted Elliot Page's current chest and his pre-transition chest. They are the same fucking chest just with some surgery.

Like I said, I have no intention of posting any pictures. I'm just curious how the site views the situation.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Because I'm curious. And when I'm curious i ask questions. In the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter but in the grand scheme of things nothing fucking matters.

Like with basically anything that isn't either spoilers or very blatant hate speech, it likely depends how much the mods like you - or perhaps more so, how much the specific mod who encounters the mark likes you.

I agree 100% And why is it when you ask about shit like this, about something that may or may not get you modded, there isn't a mod around to answer? Noooo but the second you do something they come swoopin in like shit hawks ready to take you outta the shit nest.

I don't think that's accurate.

But I'm pretty sure you're a cisgender male, are you not?

Yeah. But that answers your first question

What the fuck is a cisgender? I can't keep up with all this shit.

as silly as it is, what is actually taboo is breast tissue, or something approximating it.

boobs are boobs, regardless of if they're on a cis woman or a trans woman or a trans man. or even a cis man with gynecomastia or implants. I'd imagine prosthetics are also against the rules, but i don't think anyone has ever tested it. post mastectomy guys (trans or otherwise) have met the purge monster before; not as sure for cis women.

Yea that's true and it would be much more provocative than just a bare chest.

Cisgender is a male born as a male or woman born as a woman. I might be really dumbing it down but I'm not super up to date on terminology. I'm sure I still use terms that might be considered offensive, out of ignorance not malice.

And this to me will always be fucking weird. I don't understand how people can be so upset or offended over other peoples bodies. 50% of the population has the same shit.

Let's see.

I remember someone made a topic about Elliot Page and posted a picture of him posing shirtless. I don't know if that person got modded, but the topic was up for quite a while.

Edit: Yeah it was that same pic ^

Please do.

The GameFAQs rules are simple: If a mod doesn't like you, he can warn/suspend you for anything and claim it was a TOU violation.

Says who?

Two mods in a row, one of whom I tagged, can't answer the question? Come onnnn

Or mine, which was sincere.

According to leads, from my previous experience, 'if the picture shows female breasts it's not allowed'

take that as you wish

Yes

I remember someone posted the pregnant man from awhile back and it was allowed or it just wasn't removed.

People post men all the time. Well just the one gay guy who posts the hot guy pics.

So was mine. I genuinely wanna know. It's not something that'll ever cross my table to be modded for but I would be curious to know the answer because it's gonna happen to someone at some point.\

@nevershine what say you SIR?

Sorry I quickly came in and had the response to the last thing in the topic but didnt go through and see the other question(s).

That said, not sure I have a super great response, but will try to ramble out my thoughts.

I know female looking might not be the super best point of reference here, but in general Id say thats a good guideline. Like, breasts of any kind that would have at least caused a motion picture to get a PG/PG-13 rating at a minimum would certainly be off the table.

Possible nuances this would be, off the top of my head:

• man-boobs - lets say that of an overweight, clearly male person would be ok.
• flat-chested or no visible breasts on a clearly female person would not be ok.

Also the reason this popped into my head was I was scolling through the internets and say a shirtless picture of Elliot Page and it just got me wondering.

As was referenced in the topic previously, pre-op would not have been fine, but post-op clearly is.

Also, apologies in advance if I dont give anything super concrete here or things still are kinda unclear or vague, but based on what youre saying I would say that pre- or starting-transition (flat chested) would be ok, but as soon as any formation of breasts start, that would not be ok.

Kinda hard to be super clear without examples, but I understand the hesitation to post anything without clear guidance beforehand. That said Re: the question on is just censoring the nips ok, that kinda depends. I know weve modded Gunpla in the past for just censoring the nips with 2 circles, basically. But handbra has always been, and should continue to be, allowed. So handbra should be a pretty safe bet, based on historical enforcement.

Another thing to consider is the intent behind showing the pics. If its clear that anyone is just trying to push the envelope and ride the borderline for the sake of riding the borderline, it could get hit. But if it was in a genuine topic where you wanted to show examples to other fellow users so they know what to expect and whatnot, Id be harder pressed to delete something as long as they abided by the general guidelines I mentioned previously.

Some things will obviously be borderline and case-by-case, but I think the intent and context is always key as well as avoiding any of the clearly female looking breasts that have always been modded historically is about the best guidance I could offer up.

Idk about here but someone on Facebook demonstrated they could get away with posting tits as long as there was no nipples. Like either this woman just didn't have any or they had been shopped out.

Realistically some actual better advice is: don't fucking post shit that could be even so slightly misconstrued as 'offensive'
There is the {redacted} board that's basically never gonna get hit that still has porn on it posted regularly because it's a community board

either post smart or do not post

@misterbum

I really appreciate the detailed response. The photo would be shared in the interest of showing progress thats not generally related to transitioning, but more focused on weight loss. I think its pretty clear that the photo I had concerns about is a male chest, but since the general point is not to focus on any specific area I will just use a black bar to censor the photo.

Again, thank you for taking the time to give your perspective on that and providing insight into how you might go about deciding if its moddable if you were to see something like that in the queue.

Black bar over the area
not that hard

Thats what I just said you drunkard
