and if they are, they are. though they still don't look like it to me, so in your interpretation of the t.o.s. where appearances count, it would still be mislabeled as a nude. but i don't think either side can hedge their bets like that. either reality is what counts, or what we're talking about is arbitrary persecution based on the predilections of the viewer.
and i've seen tons of t&a shots in poser, been around for years, and into comics (where anti-grav boobs and anatomical impossibilities abound) for even longer. personally, i think people who see nipples in that pic are looking (hard) for them, but i don't run this site and don't want to. frankly this whole nudity thing is a slippery slope. not in the sense of censorship, but in the sense of catering to offended viewers. if the rules are loose and viewer beware, well, it's the same as any museum. pretty well established and understandable. but the increasing "let's not offend anyone" policies create an expectation of "safeness." so every time someone's offended or somehow disturbed, it becomes the artist's fault and the site's responsibility. the more that's done to make the art here "safe," the greater the expectation of the viewers and the obligations of the site.
