Boobs on YouTube (might be NSFW?)

Who doesn’t like the bewbs, right?   

Considering how uptight and conservative YouTube is about some things I was very surprised to see one of these “transparent fashion try-on hauls” pop up in my feed. I was curious so I clicked. Who knew this was possible?

Boy was I in for a surprise! Although specifically not sexual in nature by disclaimer, these are pretty darn close to full on nudity that leaves nothing to the imagination. They get away with it by calling their videos “fashion reviews”. A whole series of these even do the transparent fashion thing wet in the shower where “transparent” becomes an understatement.

Things blurred out in the thumbnails are not blurred out in the videos. I figured if these fly on YouTube they'd be ok here?



Here’s just a sample. There are hundreds.

Most of the videos are around two minutes long or less. Most feature multiple outfits.

I’ve watched quite a few of these, not because I’m hot for other women but I find the differences in women’s bodies pretty interesting.

Certain forms of censorship are stupid IMO. They blank out or blur guns, cigarettes, dead people, even low cut dresses in movies around here . What is acceptable in one society is taboo in another.. You have to wonder how long it will be before the accounts are blocked or maybe this is the new reality at Google's Youtube ?

i know what you mean. some networks blur out crotch shots, junk shots and thongs ass shots on movies and tv shows but then turn around and run commercials that show what they just blurred out in the movies. i've even heard them bleep words that are not all that offensive, and then let them play in commercials.

makes no sense at all.

My guess is some of those very revealing reviews are a big money generator and therefore Youtube does not care as it drives traffic to other big account channels. Amazing some don't even have an age consent, yet many music vids with no nudity they have age consent restriction.

Sickening!  What are their names, for science purposes?

It reminds me of Starship Troopers, when they blur out the cow getting torn apart by a bug, and right after that, they show dozens of mutilated human corpses

I think YouTube lets the videos slide if they have some legitimate, "non-prurient" merit, even if they also have some draw for, well, prurient reasons. It's the legitimate reasons that allow the videos to slide. Same goes for their "educational" breast-feeding videos, which frequently feature tig ol' bitties sans any kind of covering at all.

Under US law, until fairly recently, the rule of thumb was that the folks had to be "covered" to avoid obscenity charges. "Covered" is a relative thing, though. "See through" coverings are still "coverings" for purposes of law, as is body paint. In Key West, Florida, they have a festival every year where folks can run around all day long buck naked, so long as they have all their bits "covered" with a layer of body paint. it's called "Fantasy Fest", videos of which can also be found on YouTube.

Relatively recently, late 1980's or early 1990's, the SCOTUS made a ruling that even full-on toplessness was permitted for women as well as men, as a form of "free speech" or "free expression". Their reasoning was, I believe, that a society cannot allow men to go shirtless while at the same time prohibiting women from the same, as that is discriminatory... then they threw in the "free speech" justification for good measure.

So, since the women in these "fashion hauls" are, technically, "covered", I let them slide just as YouTube does. Who am I to flaunt US law?

Besides, I ain't skeert of no boobies! I've seen some that probably should have scared the hell outta me, cause I believe they were probably big enough to kill a grown man by asphyxiation, but still, I wasn't scared. Maybe I just wasn't bright enough to be scared

There is also the fact that a lot of these videos on YouTube are just click-bait to entice the viewer to go to the poster's "Only Fans" or similar site to "see the full video", and are really just free advertising for them... "free advertising" that also generates a secondary income for them of it's own. It's a win-win for them.
