THe problem is commerce. For the sake of keeping every customer in the base files they try to placate them all. If someone even so much as sneezes offense at something they take that as something offensive to the majority or of "potential" offensiveness to the majority and dutifully censor the problem. I had a pic up at DAZ. They all loved it. They voted unanimously to put it in the gallery which I found quite flattering 'cause DAZ was a hard nut to crack for that years ago. It was up a few days and I get a letter from management telling me one person was offended and if I wanted them to keep it up I would have to censor the offending bits. It was a bit of the nipple of the preteen that you would have had to look for with a magnigying glass to really notice. Apparently someone was looking for it or had nothing better to look for because that little "bit" got their butt warmers up in a tight little bundle and they felt "obliged" to complain. I refused to fix it. it got pulled with profuse apologies from management. I never submitted work there again...just for the principal. The same thing is going on right now with all the anti-religion fanatics and pseudo-kiddie porn flag wavers and anti smoking lobbies and anti gun mommies......you get the picture. For the silly misguided agendas of the minority the majority suffer. Since this site belongs to someone else we either suck up and conform to their ever increasing pathetic rules or move on. I haven't posted here in a long time. If they want to delete my stuff they can. I have gotten past all of this. Though I would still like to see the products I am buying...I have spent just as little money here as well.
