I am always amazed that anyone would feel that their view of what is or is not "artistic" or "tasteful" is somehow a universally accepted constant. It's like complaining that Baskin-Robbins has too much chocolate when you prefer vanilla. There may be a few wags who set out to post the most "tasteless" image they can but I have to believe that for the most part, people post their best effort. If some see that as tasteless or gratuitous, that's the viewer's problem, not the artist's or Renderosity's. I'm also struck by the notion that somehow there's this great demand on the part of "adolescents" or leering 40 something males to look at Poser nudes. Having been both, I can assure you that given the choice between looking at Vickys of any cup size and the plethora of images of real women available on the web, the latter win hands down when it comes to the libido. Sorry Vicky. Any child who has the manual dexterity to type "XXX" and hit enter can find far more interesting material than this place has to offer. All the filters and blacklists in the world are no substitute for watching where your kids go. There is an effective "tasteless art" filter though. It's the little left-pointing arrow on your browser.
