Attached Link: Flickr Art Censorship Debate

Hmm, interesting debate. Leads me to the question, what about C3PO in the Staw Wars films...  A humanoid figure not wearing any clothes...  I have posted a few discreetly posed but obviously nude human figures here and put the NUDITY tag on them, I have also posted a few very obviously android/humanoid figures not dressed in human clothing with no warning - but these figures did not have human like heads...  Drawing the line is difficult.  Anyone care to see these figures and advise me if I should revise the advisories?

And what about the super scantily clad girlie pinup type figures that feature here so much - a token mini-bikini which just covers pubes and nipples in my opinion is not far different from a totally nude figure posed in a modest way - and just as likely to be embarrasing if seen across the office workplace by Connie's co-workers.

The statue of David is clearly a nude human figure with exposed genitalia.  Lots of other classical statuary has discretely posed figures with convenient draped clothing or positioned hands. In Olso Norway there is the Vigeland sculpture park filled with hundreds of human nude figures (including nude children) of all ages and body shapes. Very realistic imagery and the entire park has no warning signs that I remember warning of the nudity when I visited there in 2002. See link: http://www.fortunecity.com/westwood/arch/769/Vigeland/

This debate is over self-censorship (in a way) by having the onus on the decision over nudity or violence tagging placed on the poster of the image. A very similar debate is raging at present at Flickr.com over the posting of non-photographic images by artists. If the images are not tagged as not-searchable then the admins blackban the entire account as NIPSA - not in public seach area. I include a link re this.  Let us all hope Renderosity does not ever adopt such a draconian attitude :-)
