Its on topic. Because I've been through enough of the 'soft porn' protestors galleries to see their protests and its more than on topic. And looking at Monet's flowers or Degas' Ballerinas isn't nude people. Would you show your kids the Death of Sardanapal? It features violence (a woman getting her throat slashed) and lots of nudity. Its also hanging in the Louvre, and a classic piece of art. But I think the WSJ article is even more telling of the trend in our day here. I'd be the first to say much of the Poser gallery is repetitive, but lumping all nude artwork as soft porn is the beginnings of censoring the gallery completely. This is what I object to. And quite a lot of erotic artwork is not pornography. To be pornography, it has to be lacking all artistic value, and I don't think you can logically make that case. Yes, I use the nudity flag, because its the rules here. I have never ever forgotten it.
