Huh, when did subtle_nipples get aliased to barely_visible_nipples?

This is where wiki pages would be useful. How much is barely? Especially when it comes to Nipples in the middle of an Areola. I suppose that's more of a question for this thread if it can be revived.

Agreed that this needs a wiki for clarification. For comparison, Barely_visible_genitalia is defined as "Images or animations where the genitalia is not obvious in the thumbnail.". I'm not sure if the same definition works for nipples though, since it's pretty typical for nipples (the actual nipple, not the areola) to not be easily made out from a thumbnail, even when they are not at all covered or obscured in any way.

Or, as in the image at issue, where the clothes outline the nipple pretty well so you can easily tell it's there, even if only a portion of the actual skin is visible. So it's not really subtle, or barely visible, only a portion of the skin tissue is. And the distinction between the areola and nipple is somewhat vague.
