I said the prejudice was similar, not that you used it, both are unreasonable since different people or companies have different impressions depending on their purpose. Would the galleries that showed the Robert Maplethorpe exhibitions even bat an eye at the nudity in the galleries?

If it's a business that they want to promote as proffessional why are hobbyist or beginners allowed on it then? You can't have both assumptions be correct so that argument falls flat in respect to the galleries. Only if they intend to get rid of a lot of members does your theory hold any wieght. Anyone is entitled to their opinion but the problem is when that opinion is forced on everyone as is being done in the galleries.

 It is a business in respect to the marketplace where people are trying to sell things but how does that affect the images posted in the galleries unless they're trying to only cater to the small percentage that are professional artist?

Your opinion on what constitutes CLASS is not shared by everyone even though it is being forced on everyone. And it doesn't take into account the skill level of those that are just starting out..

The other assumption is that it was the only option we could STILL be looking at artistic nudes if the people used other options, it's easy to say the good goes with the bad but it doesn't apply when there was already a system in place but some were too lazy to use it and instead of forcing the people who didn't like the thumbnails to set the nudity filter in their profiles so that it didn't affect the rest, the bad was forced on everyone.
