I have read the threads here and there on this. I have not taken the time to read every single opinion. I do not feel I need to. This whole converstation is based on one original statement and therefore it is to it that I reply. Blackhearted is one of my all time favorite merchants anywhere for Poser items. Some of my best and favorite work has come from using Aeris and Nia. Both extremely fabulous products, both very real. Now as for the current complaint, why does this bother anyone? There are the conservative right wing people who claim that it's all about what it is, there are the liberal arguing that its all natural and/or freemarket, and there are those in the middle of the road stating that it was totally how it was promoted. Blackhearted, you seem to fall in the middle from what I've read. Why? What's the problem? Do you think even for one second I would have purchased Aeris, or begged for Nia as a birthday present if I had not seen extreme detail in your product shots? Nope, not on your life. And look what I'd be missing out on. I would have bought the old Genitalia morph hip replacement for Vicky or V3 if I could have seen how well it worked and looked. Not because I am a perv or want to do explicit images, simply because when you do a natural nude pose and the Genitalia should be atleast somewhat exposed on Vic, you see a crease in the mesh and that's it. Not very realistic, and those of you that know me know I push Poser as hard as I can to avoid post work, and I'd rather not post work a gental region anyway. So now, rather than the customer simply being able to go to the product, see what it is, how it works, what it can do... We all have to go chasing after the creator and get an image emailed and wait till all of that goes through before making a purchase. Alright. Fine. So be it. Guess from here out we should have to email every merchant for mor detailed images of what their product is? We should have to go through hours of waiting for reply emails and IMs so that we can make up our mind if we want to buy their product? shakes head So why do we have a market place if this is what it ends up coming to? Because, it shouldn't be that way! The market place is there so we CAN see EXACTLY what we are buying. We work dilligently to create a product. Work even harder to make sure we properly represent it so that it actually sells. And then... It get's slammed for properly representing itself? I actually think this is the worst part of the whole problem. Not that it was shown for what it was, or that it was what it was, but that because of everyone thinking their thoughts on it were more important than someone else's work, it has been altered in it's marketing. I have yet to buy it, and I may or may not, but now I have to go through the hassle of finding out what it is before I can even make up my mind. Cheers insomniaworks, kudos on being as kuel about all of this as you have been. I myself may have come unglued. Blackhearted, I still love your work and will continue to purchase, but your reasoning seems a bit askew on this one.
