fantasy and sci-fi have always been genres that embrace new and strange paradigms which is why I'm so glad that in 2020 there are D&D people hung up on if X lump on Y slug monster is a nipple and whether said nipple is "male or female presenting"
IT'S SLUG PRESENTING
IT'S A SLUG

some people are so transfixed by the gender binary that they literally cannot understand that an ambulatory slime might have no gender or sex at all, and will therefore have uncategorisable nipples
furthermore, presuming you have a shape shifter that can transform into different forms, I'd like to know at what precise point in the gradient of the transformation that the nipples become obscene
not convinced? Ok consider a werewolf? Well I presume wolf nipples are considered natural history rather than obscenity. So what about a werewolf in hybrid form. Obscene, or not obscene.
ok what about the nipples on a cadaver? That's medical info. I can find that in any textbook, because they're dead and presumably not erotica.
A zombie is a walking cadaver. at what point in the animate dead spell do the nipples become offensive. My wizard needs to know.

the thing about fantasy and sci fi is they help us figure out what rules are inherently stupid and don't actually make any sense
Murdering goblins really is the least of the potential the genre holds
It SHOULD be used with an agenda and it SHOULD be wielded with a point

Stories have power to change people's minds, challenge preconceptions and influence whole scores of other people.
If you write games, or D&D or whatever, then you're a storyteller
So don't throw that power away. Use it to make a statement, to say something
