This is crazy. If the show is meant to be seen by adults, what does it matter that nudity is shown?
Comment on Femality is stored in the nipples

Reminds me of the creator of the show Hannibal talking about American censorship. He created a gruesome murder scene where the victim is covered in gore and there’s ritualistic shit everywhere. The only complaint, “we can see the dead woman’s nipple!!”
Death and gore all good, but lord forbid you show a lady nipple.

Morally nothing, but legally broadcast law and ERSB ratings are very strict. Like, ‘literally count the number of each cuss’ strict. Ratings aren’t determined by Dennis and Marjorie vibing it out, it’s concluded almost algorithmically based on literal, unambiguous features. Context has very little relevance to the ratings questionnaire.
Even if it is in the spirit of the ratings law, only the letter of the law is enforcable, regardless of context.
It’s probably a good thing for the arts overall, since ratings are so very impactful for reception/profit, I can’t imagine the lawsuits being flung if a studio accused Dennis or Marjorie of bias.

If I remember correctly, it was that someone was horrifically flayed, with their ribcage wrenched open to resemble wings. This was all fine, but you could see their ass, so they had to cover the asscrack with blood. For the children, presumably.
