oh my gosh... I was directed here by a friend who felt she had to remove an image with a little girl in it "just in case"...and this image is really NOT a problem...as are probably so many others...maybe artists should just "sit tight" and wait to be told about specific images? I read most, but not all, of the posts here...and while I agree that suggestive child nudes should NOT be in art, a new year's baby (really, the 3d babies are not very real anyway) and some fea's that might be covered with very little being removed is silly.... ON THE OTHER HAND I remember the changes forced on Renderosity by Pay Pal and that is the bottom line... a store with a community, here to make money.... What gets me, is how the STORE can have nudes to sell the texture sets.... you could put a young age on many of those girls... is this a double standard? The news here in the states of the sicko that got out of jail and was living in a neighborhood for a while and ended up kidnapping and killing a 9 year old girl just makes me want to throw up and I want him to STAY IN JAIL forever, as all those sickos should... so in this state of mind, I can see the need to be careful.... BUT only that- careful.... (and I SO do not thing that his kind would be coming HERE for kicks...there is SO much other really bad things on the net for them to go see, I am sure) Personally, I am a prude.. and I just try to "look around" the offensive (to me) embaressing parts and I buy a texture set...and put clothes on her/him... same with the kids... I need to read the TOS myself and see if young kids "at the beach" for example (boys) will really be allowed.. heck..come to think of it, I did a beach scene with Koshini and Ichiro and he has a naked chest..he is a cartoon! Is that a problem? That is about the only thing I did... well, hmmm I do have a knight passing gass to light a match to take down a dragon, and I think I put nudity on it just to, ah hem..cover my ass, for that.. (hardly anything shows)..... YIKES!! So this is what it does... cause a kind of paranoia in us normal folk?? SIGH And yes... we can post or not..and rosity will do what it needs to do to stay on the net...and I will continue to enjoy the more positive parts of this community as always... Just my random thoughts on the issue.
