Quote - jumpstartme2 was being accurate, topless women walking around in public can be arrested for indecent exposure.

She was accurate regarding the state of Tennesee, which I agreed was the case; however, she seemed to be making a broad, generalized statement and used Tennessee as a single example, and there are many other cities and states that do not follow the example of Tennessee as I pointed out in my earlier post.

Quote - If we want big prizes from corporate sponsors, we will present images that will not get them in trouble for "sexual harrassment" while showing the images in their board room.

While I have no objection to Renderosity obtaining big prizes from sponsors, I find the idea of showing a work of art that contains a humanoid creature that has no genitals and is not covered from the waist down, in a board room leading to a "sexual harrassment" charge ludicrous, and hardly credible. I can't believe you could say that with a straight face and expect anyone to really believe it. I can't even imagine a company showing an image that contained an exposed pair of zombie breasts and won their prize, to their board being concerned about sexual harrassment.

Renderosity is certainly welcome to have whatever rules they desire for their contests, but better to say "these are the rules we choose because we want to judge images on their merits and not be concerned about images that cross the line or push the envelope of our version of decency" then a lame excuse like sponsors are worried about sexual harrassment charges in the board room. Puhlease!

Best Wishes 😉
