Serious question about potential NSFW element

Not trying to start a debate and hoping to get a VRC mod to comment, but I’m working on an cis-male-bodied avatar that is cut out on all obviously NSFW areas, however, the nipples are still textured on the model under the shirt for the bathing suit outfit he can wear. I’m especially concerned since the model I’m using is somewhat curvy. I’m afraid that if someone decides to report my avatar out of context, it may be ruled as NSFW and I can’t find anywhere in ToS that states one way or another. I know I’ve seen nipples on cis-female avatars classified as NSFW however, male nipples IRL are not considered NSFW in the same way.

Also yes, I am aware of the “free the nipple” movement where women printed pictures of male nipples and taped them to their chest and were legally allowed to appear in public without shirts on.

Inb4 I know this is a debated topic IRL, so i’m hoping to get some guidance regarding VRC ToS specifically and how this report would be handled.

I’ve seen some avatars that have some leafs kinda slightly blocking nipples, they’re still up. At the end of the day it might just depend on how puritan they’re feeling.

If you have questions regarding TOS it’s best to ask VRChat support about those issues, not the community.

I would say that generally speaking if you have to ask if something is NSFW, it’s best to just not include that.
