You can't remove all the creepy shit from the game, there's too much of it and even without it people could still be creepy.
Like, you're saying it has sexual connotations. Sure. You know what else has sexual connotations? Drugging someone and stripping them naked. That's not gonna get removed from the game and neither are any number of other things, so why remove this one? It's completely pointless.
drugging someone and stripping them has a purpose. drugging them likely makes them unconscious, and easier to murder/move to a secluded area to murder/absorb/bite for blood. these are all things relevant to antagonist roles. drugging people can also cure disease (see: beserker).
stripping people removes their access to items. this is useful if youre a traitor and A) need an item they have (nuke disk for example) B) need to stop them from using an item (ie if they're a traitor who has a dangerous weapon) or C) need to stop them from yelling over the radio (if youre a traitor/changeling). you could remove a couple items to do these, sure, but it's easier to just mass-click everything in the list than look for where a couple items are. plus, you need a feature to remove items from a corpse, lest they get trapped on it for the rest of the round.
nipple tweaking's only purpose is to embarrass the user. there are much better ways to do this (read: hugging yourself) that don't have sexual connotation behind them.
