again, i said i agreed with the 'need' ... or at least the demand for the product and i support the selling of such things here because they promote growth in the community. what i dont agree with is the way it was presented. as for the 'this is an international community' argument.. PLEASE -- i dont care WHERE youre from, closeups of spread female labia are not considered 'tasteful'. by ANY culture. 'didn't want women to look like they do, he would most likely have made them different.' with that statement you could argue that since sex is perfectly natural and 'god intended it', it would be totally acceptable to have (married, since were on a religious kick now) couples perform sexual intercourse in public, on public transit, in front of children, wherever. im sick of hearing that something is 'natural' or 'as god intended' as an excuse for the gratuitous and vulgar display of it. with that reasoning, posting photos of my next bowel movement in the galleries should be perfectly acceptable. we have to draw the line somewhere.. and since rosity is trying to maintain a professional, 'family-oriented' atmosphere, at least some of the changes are taking it in the right direction and keeping it from going down the tubes into unadulterated smut like some other sites have. not that theres anything WRONG with smut. you just cant have both. you cant cater to a general, 'family' atmosphere AND allow smut, the two do not coexist. its like an episode of sesame street where bert & ernie start fisting each other.. its just not gonna fly with the general public, parents, or your boss if he happens to look over your shoulder. cheers, -gabriel
