What is creepy?

It's a cost benefit scenario. The cost is negligible (it's not that funny of a joke in the best of cases and outright weird in the worst of cases) and the benefit is worthwhile (a number of people can game in a safer atmosphere). There's no reason not to except the constant demand the people who play this game have to maintain the status quo, which to be honest is kindof shitty. Ss13 could really benefit from a healthier, less hostile atmosphere in general.

I'm sorry but people who feel "threatened" by a line of text saying that a 2D internet spaceman is tweaking their nipples should not be playing the game anyways.

In fact, they should not be on the internet, watch TV, read books, listen to the radio, or go to the cinema because there are far more gruesome, violent, gross, and evil in those things than there are in Goonstation at this very moment.

How about this. Give me one benefit that it brings. A good thing. A positive. I don't want to hear any victim blaming ("it's THEIR fault for being offended"), i want to hear one honest-to-goodness thing it contributes.

For example, some people might be offended by limb removal, but the system provides a level of damage in between "dead" and "only walking a little slower", and it's kinda funny to slap someone with their own arm and scream "STOP HITTING YOURSELF". IT provides a mixture of comedic and logistical elements to the game that would cost more to remove than it would benefit someone else to remove just for their feelings sake.

So what does nipple tweaking bring to the table that's worth defending so much? If it's, as you say, not a big deal (to you, since apparently it is a big deal to some people), why are you so mad about anyone suggesting it should be removed?
