If this kind of thing bothers you that much, maybe you're just a crybaby looking for something to whine about. It's just art — not a personal attack.

I dunno about you, but i believe that being bothered by a character from an FPS game that does not have any romantical/sexual themes being drawn with visible nipples appears to not be as uncommon as you may believe. Now, i don't mean to beat the dead horse, but this is the main reason why most people don't like Half-Life 2 Cinematic Mod, it unneededly sexualizes Alyx. Yes, it was unnecessary for Valve to make the Female Black Ops agents like that, but i'm pretty sure that's how they look in real life, and yes, Valve did originally intend for them to have "jiggle physics", but that got scrapped from the game. And going back to the 'IRL Black Ops' part, i'm also pretty sure they don't wear skin-tight spandex suits. The point is, people have different personal preferences on visible nipples in spandex suits. Some may like them, some may be neutral, and some may not like them as much. I personally don't like them, if it wasn't obvious enough. No one was created equally, so everyone has different opinions on the topic. You may be okay with it. I'm not, and i'm just asking a question to the artist to know the reasoning behind it, not in a mean way nor in a depressive way. Trust me, not everyone is okay with this kind of thing, and you shouldn't scold them for having different opinions. So anyways, how'd your day go?

It's perfectly fine to have preferences and opinions, we all do. But asking 'what's wrong with you?' over something as harmless as a character design goes beyond curiosity and turns into judgment. If the intention was really to have a respectful conversation, starting with less hostility would’ve been a better choice. Artists don’t need to justify every stylistic choice, especially when it’s not hurting anyone.

That was a whole college thesis just to say 'I don’t like nipples'. Respectfully, chill.

See, now that point you just made, is a good one. That one was on me, i agree, and i simply can't argue with it, however, i still think that the decision to give them nipples is questionable and strange, considering you don't ever see them with nipples in the game (thank god), and real-life Black Ops don't wear spandex suits THAT tight, as far as i know. ...However, looking back at some concept artwork for the HECU, you can find a female soldier with visible nipples, so...

Yes, I even agree with some parts of what you said, but there's no point in commenting on anything, it was just ignoring it.

I suppose you're right, commenting certain things on other certain things is sometimes pointless, not in a dumb way, but in an existential way, the existance of said comment doesn't contribute to anything, it isn't negative nor postivie, but the are exceptions, like questions, or direct feedback, or responses from the public, but sometimes off-topic and even nonsensical comments can have their existence and reasoning questioned. ...But then we're just leaning into philosophical terms, and that can be a can of worms. Going back into the main point though, i just find it weird for (almost) innocent characters to be portrayed with like this, y'know, visible nipples, or in a seductive pose, to be portrayed in a, ahem, "horny" way. It leaves me questioning the artist's intent with their decisions and their morale for the viewers and the character. I just find it, and i don't mean to be insulting in any way, disgusting, to me atleast. I'm just really not a fan of it. At all.

I get where you're coming from, and your explanation makes sense. But honestly, if something bothers you that much and it's not harming anyone, the simplest solution is just to scroll past and ignore it. Not everything is made for everyone.

That could be the solution, however, it's pretty hard to avoid it, considering it's featured in the front page, and it doesn't take many scrolls to get to it. You know what this site needs? Preference settings and content descriptions, that way, i can see the featured posts without accidentally stumbling upon sensitive content!
