Well now I see some aspects from both sides.

""Nude = pornography""

No she absolutely DID NOT say that.  Some people seem like they aren't applying any common sense here.  Though "Sense is never common", right?

A spread vagina with fingers holding it in the butterfly position being the entirety of the picture is porn.  Period.  AND you know it.

So here's what Im interested in now at this point.  Since you all feel apparently that ^^^ this is NOT porn, please describe what in your opinion is.

While I think some aspects of the policy are silly - don't make any sense at all even.  I can as a reasonable adult comprehend at least the meaning that arcadia is trying to get across.  I'm pretty sure if all of you stepped back for a moment you would realize you can as well.  It's almost as if that's what some of you came here looking for and you are fighting for it tooth and nail.  Well if that's the case, I can recommend much better "real" sites for it.

The problem is, or the thing that is just too bad is that it has to be applied across the board.  So that those who actually do NUDE ART are punished and thier work altered (yes the thumbnail is part of the work).  So that just plain sucks.

Here's a side opinion too.  Isn't nude art suppose to be some representation of appreciation for the human body?  If that is the case then why so often did I see women in the galleries with barbie like proportions?  Size 0 and Triple D chest.  In the real world, I've seen that ZERO times, with the exception of some help from dr.  silicone.   Maybe it's technically ~Fantasy~ art then, in the TRUEST sense of the word.
