OK, let me give you a little information. 1) The items complained of are not torture items. In the real world, people who really do torture don't use custom-made bondage furniture in finished mahogany, and they sure as hell don't use shiny red ball gags. If you want to know what they do use, go and check with Amnesty International. These items are for bdsm play. In real life, they would only be used with the full consent of the "victim". If this all seems hard to grasp for those whose take on the adult world begins and ends with NVIATWIAS, then take it from me, it's true. Therefore the issue of torture in the TOS does not arise. 2) You will not see those items again. I have it from the creator of those props that he viewed this thread and decided he didn't want to be associated with this site. I don't blame him. I have never posted any of my free stuff at this site since much of it is adult-oriented, and I wanted to pre-empt PRECISELY this sort of attack. If you want to see it, you'll have to look for it. I believe I'm not supposed even to post a link here in case some witless minor clicks on it and is traumatised by the sight of a morphing riding crop. 3) I have seen on other sites a certain amount of criticism of Renderosity as being a place of hypocrisy and double standards. It might be no bad idea to make a decision: either (a) this is a family-friendly site with nothing but fluffy animals and flouncy frocks - in which case, kick out ALL the erotica. Or (b) this is a mixed, adult community - in which case the prudes and prigs should be told where to get off. Then at least we may have some consistency.
