Quote - > Quote - The other assumption is that those of us with our profiles set to view nudity want tits shoved in our faces.

It's like going to the bookstore to buy a Playboy and being given Hustler and Barely Legal instead.

 

But which is it? If you want to view nudity then why complain about the degree that it is shown? If you didn't want an either or choice to have nudity or not then why force it on everyone else with no nudity in the thumbnails at all? Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Where is the degree of tolerance shown in that?

 

So, nudity should be an all-or-nothing shot?  If I wanted to view explicit nudity/erotica, there's always r'otica or raunchy minds.  However, those of us (it's not just me, btw.  I just happen to be yelling loudly) who do choose to view nudes....well, it's all about that wonderful word: choice.  That's what the nudity flags are for...for those who choose not to view those types of images.  However, for those of us who, when the whim carries us, choose to view them, we want it to be our choice, not shoved down our throats.  And, when 1 in 5 thumbs leading to nudes are either blatantly nude or "suggestively" nude (i.e. suggesting a buttcrack is cleavage, etc.), it gets old.  However, I am looking at it from the point of view of former staff.  See, when I was here, every Wednesday and Friday (and every day in the D|S gallery), I had to try to look at and gauge every image in the gallery, sometimes bringing some up for review.  Now, I'll admit that there were a LOT of images in the gallery that, falling into the "inflataboob" category...the images themselves were well-made.  Lighting and texture were nice, atmosphere was good, and the overall images were great.  However, those were few and far between.  I liken it to....well, to use another analogy (I'm full of 'em.  Really.), it's like going to the beach, and the only people on the beach for miles and miles are morbidly obese men and women in thongs.  (Before we take offense to this, I'm against thongs on principle, because they're tacitly freaking uncomfortable.  Then again, I'm fat.  They weren't designed for fat people.  They were designed for Jenna Jameson.)
So, if you don't want to see it, you go somewhere else.  Let's face it.  There are few fat people that want to see themselves in a swimsuit, let alone a speedo.  I'm one of them.  
Sorry, I'm rambling again.  What my point is....and what probably isn't clear....is that, really, the gallery...it's a gallery.  If you were to submit your art to your local art gallery, you'd have to conform to their rules, or make your own gallery.  Any other gallery on the 'net has its' rules, too.  Most are actually stricter than Renderosity's.  
I'm going to stop typing right now....my head is going in 50 different places right now, and I have to unscatter my brain and get back to work :P
