Well, I do know Nyk was acting (pretending to be?) dysphoric about his arms when he began the LARP. It's one of those things about his body that he can't change unless he goes full Eugenia Cooney anorexic, but that would explain why he would place his arm partially behind his back to highlight his moobs instead in that Salty cover shot. It's even possible that his idiot photographer Signe Pierce asked him to "turn this way" in order to hide the man arms.
I remember after he was on internet HRT for about 1-2 months, Nyk posted a picture on Twitter of himself flexing his biceps, but when a fan complimented Nyk on his toned arms, Nyk threatened to punch that fan in a tweet. I can't find the exchange on Twitter anymore, I guess Nyk deleted it to cover up the fact that he really did threaten to punch a fan for complimenting him on his arms, which was a rare instance where Nyk exposed his own capacity for meaningless violence despite pretending to be femme and harmless. Nyk said on one of the Livestreams that he later deleted that he was in his school's rowing team so he had toned upper arms from rowing - oh yeah, and BTW, what Nyk said in the AGP video about how he was supposedly never into sports? He was into rowing. FYI, rowing is a sport. That was yet another instance where Nyk lied and covered up his past to make his trans-LARP seem more credible. It's ridiculous really because on the other hand he goes out of his way to defend trans athletes, while at the same time denying and even covering up his own past involvement in at least some form of athletics.
Anyway, Nyk said at the time that he didn't want to have muscular arms but femme spaghetti arms. This means there's definitely the motivation there to Photoshop the crap out of those pictures.
For your consideration though, I submit the following (this will give you a good idea of proportions between Nyk and any cis women he's around, an insight that you will never get from watching his videos* or his carefully curated Instagram pictures):

After seeing this as opposed to those pictures, what is your verdict now? Femmetune or no femmetune on those man arms?
Done some image analysis, and there's an interesting answer- her right forearm isn't facetuned, that was just a dumb choice of typeface. BUT, her left shoulder and upper arm have been HEAVILY feathered out.
Yyou can see even clearly, just compare the softness of the left shoulder versus the sharpness of her hairline. Basically her entire left arm has had the edge feathered out... and not subtly, either.
Anyway with that mystery closed, I now have prepared my application to be Contra's personal photo editor--
