You know, I like artistic nudes. shrug  I like erotica.  However, I cannot, for the life of me, think of how this makes the lives of the artists who create and post nudes here harder.  Well, I mean hard in the sense that having a brain tumor is hard.  Not hard as in "gee, I don't want to bend down to pull up my pants, so I'll just walk around with them 'round my ankles". 

There is only one thing that Renderosity is "Forcing" you to do.  That is drumroll please BE CREATIVE.  What a concept.  And on an art site no less!

Whinging like this is most of why I stepped down from staff.  If you people have nothing better to complain about, I really pity you.  

I like the option of being able to view nudity in the gallery.  I do NOT, however, like it thrust in my face.   I go through the galleries, sometimes with my son i the room, sometimes I show some really great stuff to my mother.  It's not my place to explain to either of them why artist A has a thumbnail of a shaved crotch or just two nipples sticking there.  What's artistic about that?  NOT ALL ART has to be a protest.  If it were, it would be a boring world, as far as art is concerned. 

So, by all means, create your nudes.  There are those of us who love a well-done nude.  Just don't shove titties, vagina, or cock in our faces as we go through the galleries to find something that doesn't need sensationalism to be brought to our attention.
