I may have an explanation for the inequality Billy perceives. Context, camera angles, lighting and especially pose.

I've seen it happen on my Poser screen myself. Same figure, same body morphs, same face morphs. Put her in a pose that radiates confidence and self-reliance, and she's an adult. Put her in a pose that radiates childishness or petulance, and she'll look several years younger. All the while using exactly the same body morphs and textures.

Almost like a "live" young adult - one day they behave like responsible adults, the next day they behave like adolescents. Tell me about it - I work with youngsters aged 17-24 every day!

Context is also important. Usually an image tells a story, and that story influences the apparent age of the humanoid figures. Consider this: a nude Aiko in a school room and an angry teacher  - context indicates she's underage - violation. Same nude Aiko in a typical NVIATWAS scene - context indicates skill with weapons or magic - adult and OK.

Most promos in the MP are devoid of context, in order to better show the textures and morphs. The poses are usually the "fashion model" type poses, associated with adults.

So I'm not surprised that character X for Aiko is OK in the MP, even with full nudity on the 2nd and 3rd image, while an image in the galleries using character X CAN be a violation. No double standards needed!

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
