Re: WTF??? whats this place coming to? by Rio on 7/5/03 10:59 why not? how different is [from a photograph] it really? There's potentially dodgy ground ahead, but personally I see little difference between photography and 3D. One usual argument goes "But no-one gets hurt in 3D" which is a fallacy. It may be that no physical person gets denuded/beheaded/whatever but to assert that "no-one gets hurt" is to say that the image/s in question have zero effect, zero impact, on everyone that views them. That the art of storytelling outside of theatre leaves everyone equally unmoved. I don't buy it, personally - but it's a far more complex question that I'd hope to cover in a single thread (nevermind a single post!). We all know what the majority of the world thinks about pictures of genetalia, whether you agree with it or not, this is still something thats not acceptable in any country ive seen. Agreed - it seems to me fairly obvious in most cases what is acceptable and what is not - it's only at the borders where there's any real room for "interpretation". To be honest, there are also precious few locations I've been where it's considered "perfectly OK" to swear in public. i dont think products like genital morphs belong at renderosity. i thought that was why we had rotica? Although not really the point of this thread, I'd have to agree. However it's been asserted that a large percentage Renderosity's turnover comes from such products, so it may be difficult to envisage Renderosity willingly vetoing such products. Fortunetly for the MP there's a "nudity" flag setting so you don't have to see such things unless you actually LOOK for them. If you look for them and find them then, well, there ya go. Daz is SO PG-13, id even go so far as to say just PG. and they do just fine. Agreed again - I can't recall the last time I saw swearing on the DAZ site . again my previous point. yeah cussing is somethign accepted by the general public, crotch shots are not and you all know it. whther you agree with it or not. I disagree quite strongly. At least in my neck of the woods, if you wander through town cussing loudly enough for others to hear you'll be approached by PC plod just as quickly as if you wander around flashing pictures of plastic pretend vaginas. Maybe quicker, even. Just think about it - if you walk down your local highstreet cussing at every third person, are you so sure that your behaviour will be found perfectly acceptable?
