Bare Chested?

[The Celtic Viking]

I wasn't aware that lye removed nipples as well. What of other barechested units like Hindus and Getai though?

IIRC, I think someone on the team once said that they tried to make chest hair for EB1 but it was too difficult/not possible to make it look acceptable, so they chose to go without it.

The nipples were removed as part of the hidden censorship pack. They were simply considered too sexual for Americans in general; even moreso than the "Bananas Below", which is why this one wasn't optional. To avoid complaints from us Europeans, they chose to cover it up.

Or so the conspiracy theory goes.
