We lost a budding new artist when of her images was removed from the gallery and she received a warning message from the PTB. The offending images contained a naked baby fairy in a flower. Naked inasmuch as it wasn't wearing anything, nudity no, because the figure was partially concealed, so nothing "naughty" showed. The result was that my daughter-out-law has removed her entire gallery and has lost interest in producing images.

Did anyone explain or clarify  to the young budding artist that nude doesn't always equal sexual or naughty?

I went to www.m-w.com to look up the definition and synonyms of nude and nudity just to double check that I'm not waaay off. Neitther include sexual connotations. American english synonym for nude is naked and bare, not sexy or provocative or pornographic or naughty or inappropriate or shameful.
It means "without clothes". No more.  Synonyms for naked are: bare, disrobed, nude, stripped, unclad, unclothed, undressed. 
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/nudityRellay, you have to sidestep more then couple of steps to go from nudity to sexuality.

Now, the fact that some men can get turned on by just a show of a bare ankle, and that lot of US social values have puritanical roots whre any hint of sexuality is unfortunately shamed and vilified, and how those are very much in conflict with modern daily lives, and that there's nothing bd about helthy and appropriately exhibited and used sexuality is a whooooole different thread.....

But... here on renderosity it's the matter of social conformance.

In this aspect I'm rather glad I didn't grow up in the US, and don't have an automatic raction of naked=bad, shameful etc... but yet seeing it all aound me. It is a very mixed message we teach our kids, to equate something beautiful and natural with bad and naughty, rather then teaching them there's appropriate time and a place for those things, and how to hanle it in healthy manner.   Like I said, whooole another thread.....
