I always set the flag on my images, if there is nudity involved and everyone should do that. The problem is, that in a lot of countries nudity is not banned from public life and treated very open minded. So artists from these countries do not share the same views on these issues.

In Austria (south of Germany, east of Switzerland) you find a nudity in a lot of newspapers in ads and on page 5 (nude of the day). No one really cares about that. We even have large ads for shower gels and lingeries on the street, with nudity or teasing poses. Few people care about that here. We are used to that and so are our children.

I understand that this is quite different in other countries, especially in the US. So maybe thumbs without nudity or violence are a good idea. I, for myself, am much more worried about violence than about our bodies that have been given to us by god. Nudity and pornography are totally different things for me.
