Don't put words in my mouth, geoegress. I don't appreciate it, and I won't tolerate it. I /will/ take it up with staff if you continue to try to publicly demean me. Pink ponies my ass. "Even erotic art is still art, in my mind, but only if it's well done. It can be beautiful, if done properly." Can you read those simple little words? See...? If you want to take that attitude with me over what I said, I can and will take it up with staff, because I refuse to let myself be bombarded and attacked yet again by witch hunters. I'm not saying don't do pin ups and don't do nudes. I do them. Don't put words in my mouth. I'm not right wing. I'm a loud mouthed gay male who simply gets sick of having breasts shoved in his face constantly. There's a difference between an artistic pin up and a trashy five minute poser image. We all know the difference. We're all adults. Don't assume to know my psychological problems based on /two/ posts. I do not agree with the 'radical right' that you see in these threads. Hello. Homosexual male. I can't even get MARRIED where I live, even if I want to. Maybe when geogegress learns to read instead of skim, they'll figure out what I just said. But I doubt it. I fully expect to be attacked by the raging, frothing mob yet again. The US, generally, is /much/ more prudish than Europe. I'd honestly prefer to live in Europe. But that requires money to move. I have no problem with nudity, or with pornography, for that matter, but each have their place. Pornography and /detailed/ examples of genitalia belong in Renderotica. If someone wants to put genitals on their female figures, please, by all means, do. Just don't, for example, do a close up of it and make it your thumbnail image and/or banner ad. Saying 'don't look at it' isn't that simple. You can't /turn/ the nudity off on banner ads. There used to be a rule about no nudity. There should be, again. It made the site seem more... I don't want to say mature, because there are some banners that look great, even nude. More professional, I suppose, but that's not quite right, either. I don't want to be surfing the forum and have a close up of someone's vagina on my screen anymore than straight people want to see two gay men having sex. I've got a perfectly proper image that, while highly suggestive, shows no genitalia or actual sexual content. I won't post it on this site, because it's homosexual and I don't feel the people here would like it, and I don't feel comfortable sharing it on this site. As for the boobs comment... Sure. Just don't make it your banner image. Blackhearted's banner is perfectly fine. Some of the others aren't.
