Where private companies are involved, they have the right to do whatever they like with other people's "freedom of expression". I'm glad Renderosity is making moves to address the hypocritical aspects of their store and galleries. If they aim to be family-oriented, this latest move was necessary. It's not like Poser buyers and merchants don't have another very viable option (Renderotica). When it comes to adult-oriented stuff, I think it's generally a good idea to keep it separate from the stuff I'd want my children viewing. This goes for the local newsagents as much as it does for an internet site. I'm glad that adult magazines come in plastic wrappers. I'm glad that dildo's aren't sold in Toys R Us. It's unfortunate that R'osity is removing the lot rather than, say, creating an adult area, because they can only lose money as a result. For those nervous about shopping at Renderotica, I once bought some Karanta candle textures there (soooo erotic!?!) and the telltale name "Renderotica" didn't appear on my Visa statement.
