I have seen only a few pictures on 'rosity that I have considered offensive. Only one have I complained about, and it was removed because it was hardcore pornography that someone snuck onto the system. It was rapidly removed. But another one I defended because the intent of the picture was totally different in regards to bringing attention to child abuse. It 'offended' me because of it's frankness and some deliberate crudeness, but it needed to be for the picture to be honest and true to what it was saying. Also, there is one artist out there that, to me, just smacks of pedophile fantasy, but it could just be my interpretation. In this point, I take Shadow's point of view and I don't view his work. In regards to self-censorship, I assume that there are 10 year olds, and my grandmother reading this post. If I can't say it/show it to them, then I don't post it. The Bryce forum at least does an excellent job of policing itself. I don't know about other galleries, and suspect this topic is much more dicey in the Poser forum, for instance. This is, after all, a very goodhearted group of people. Censorship is always a touchy topic. I, for one, believe that there is a time and place, and should be grounded in morality put forth by the Renderosity TOS. Other places may have no problem with work that here is considered offensive. But that's the beauty of the free marketplace of ideas. If one community is closed to you, you always have another. We have no right to being posted here, and do so at the pleasure of 'rosity's owners. That means if we cannot post a certain image here, we also have no right to complain about it, but rather need to go out looking for a community to post it in. There is nothing wrong with that. The right to speak does not equate the right to be heard. If that were the case, I'd have a syndicated radio talkshow that every schoolchild in America would be required to hear, and so would you. ;c) If there comes a time that I cannot stand to look at the galleries, because I am constantly offended, I will simply write those in charge, informing them of my decision to leave and why, and find another community. I also will contend that it is our duty as loyal members of this community to uphold and defend it's standards that have been laid out as a common framework for us to communicate. IMHO
