"Sorry, but I don't get it why some are so upset about it, really. But then I live in germany and nudity and other things are just natural over here, nothing to call nasty or porn. " christ i knew someone would bring that up, and several people did. 1. i am not a prude. i have nothing against nudity. i have seen plenty of the female anatomy. if anyone thinks i do have something against nudity, one look in my gallery or store promos will prove otherwise (im trying to cut down, really, i am). 2. i grew up in europe myself, so the 'bah, prudish americans' approach isnt going to work with me. yes, they are far more tolerant of tasteful nudity in the media in europe - youll see breasts in commercials, primetime tv and most magazines and even newspapers.. oftentimes even full nudity.. but dont try and make it out like there are women spreading their legs in the morning newspaper and everyone is so laid back and 'cultured' that even grandmothers will just stare at it approvingly over their morning coffee and mutter 'ooh, she has a nice hymen'. puhleeze. 3. there is artistic nudity, and pornographic nudity. ive always spoken up against pornographic nudity in these forums, ever since i became a member here (and made more than my share of enemies for it). there is a lot of tasteful, artistic nudity in the galleries. but theres also a lot of pornographic nudity thats under constant debate - im sorry, but 'money shots' do not belong here. i find nothing artistic or tasteful about a macro shot of a woman's innards, let alone detailed images of how they would morph were a penis inserted or if they were stretched open. before anyone starts flaming me - im not talking about pointless nudity.. hell, im guilty of it myself. im not speaking up against 'nude vicky in a temple with a sword' images here, or trying to have your right to post them taken away, so dont get your panties in a bunch... those will always be here to stay. 4. medical illustration? yes.. valid point. although i didnt get the 'medical feel' when i was looking at those promos. again, there is a way to do things tastefully. theres a reason Daz doesnt want to touch this sortof item. its accepted here, and i have no problem with that, because apparently the market is clamoring for morphing genitals that are higher resolution than the entire vicky 2 figure (genital props/morphs have always been the hottest selling items here). before someone brings it up (or if it already has been, havent read every post yet) i am not damaging anyones sales by pointing this out.i have nothing against the creator, or the product, really, and obviously it should be sold here since its doing really well and thats good for the community and will promote growth and traffic. if there are promos like this necessary to sell a product, the merchant could host them on a private site and link them from his/her product page with a simple highly graphical nudity content warning. if anything, this thread will bring in extra sales for the merchant. its just that id rather not see rosity become any more liberal with pornographic content and should draw the line at some types of promo images. i mean whats next? morphing condoms? dildos? butt-plugs? anal beads? where do we draw the line? cheers, -gabriel
