"Yes, mostly children and people who are guilty of something and want to turn the spotlight away from themselves." But, claims of discrimination can only be assessed and judged by comparison with other very similar situations in which the alleged discriminated characteristic was not present. Or to put it another way, for the sake of clarity, a simple example: a Black woman is fired from her job for failing to attend work on time over a period of a month. If she sues for racial discrimination, the case can only be judged by comparison to a white woman at the same company who had the same level of lateness, and whether or not she was also fired. --- In this situation, the thought occurs to me that perhaps the discrimination in this - and in all honesty, it's far, far more common for pictures with a homoerotic edge to be pulled than hetero or lesbian - is not on the part of R'osity, but its member base. We know that the mods can't possibly view every single pic uploaded, so they mostly rely on complaints from viewers. A pic with two women or a woman and man embracing in a sexual manner is far less likely to generate a complaint than a pic with two men. Sad, but true.
