As I've said before, art is individual and subjective. What one person likes, someone else doesn't. It's a unique phenomena and can't really be explained, and as the old addage states "there is no accounting for taste".

I don't believe in censorship. Censorship takes away rights. I personally don't want what I can and cannot view dictated to me by people who insist that their way is the only "right" way and can't be bothered to turn the channel, throw out the magazine or walk away.

If I don't want to look at something, I don't. I have free will and no one is making me "look" at anything I don't want to look at.

I personally don't care to look at some people's askewed views of "the ideal woman", but I don't begrudge them the right to express that view through their art.

It's easy to just skip on by, turn the channel, throw out the magazine or walk away.

This way we each have a choice... to either look or not to look. That to me is a win-win situation.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
