Quote - rickymaveety: there's something I don't understand. First you explain why you don't use the nudity filter. Good and valid reasoning, by the way. Then you say you will not click an image that's tagged with nudity.
Now Renderosity requires that an image of a stone statue that depicts a nude figure is tagged with the nudity flag. You say you might be interested in such an image. Yet you also say you won't click a tagged image.
Something doesn't add up here.
Sorry for the late response, but I sort of left this thread behind as it was getting a little (a little??) strange.
It's not that I never (ever) click an image that has a nudity tag. Most of the time, I can see from the thumbnail whether or not the image has any interest for me as an artistic piece (as opposed to just a T&A render).
If it looks like it's going to be an interesting piece, or if I know the artist is someone whose work I respect, I will click away no matter what type of tags are on it. I have absoutely no problem viewing nudity in art .... I'm just not a big fan of porn. And, when I can't see any artistic merit in a piece, then it's just plain old porn to me.
Of course, that's one of those things that's in the eye of the beholder. Someone else might look at something that I don't see any merit in and think it's Leonardo freaking DaVinci ... and then there are people who think that Michaelangelo's David is porn. Go figure.
Could be worse, could be raining.
