Every piece of art offends someone. If a ban on 'offensive' art were truly implemented, there would be no art. This site, like all business' must make a profit. If however it starts to annoy its customers, they will go elsewhere. This site is not about pornography as clearly stated in the TOS, that's fine. If however nudity is going to be banned, that's not. The nude has been part of Western art since Minoan times, if that offends some people, tough. If they don't like nudity, they don't have to look. If nudes are appearing on parts of the site that they shouldn't, that's an entirely different issue. Offending images should be reported to the moderators and offending posters should be censured. It seems that we are returning to the levels of stupidity that in Victorian times put a fig-leaf on Michaelangelo's 'David'.
