I get the feeling this thread is gonna be locked. I'd probly complain about depictions of bondage, but those harness images weren't offensive to me. I'm unfamiliar with this "laura" item, but it's not an actual girl, rather it's a 3d representation of a poser surface. IMVHO those harnesses weren't a TOS violation here, nor were they offensive to the extremes of what one useta see on the porno sites and possibly here - images depicting violence against women. I dunno if any of these sites allow, encourage or promote such images or sales of items used in such images, but it would be unfortunate if any of 'em were profiting from the depiction of abuse and degradation of women, even tho these are only 3d depictions of surfaces, not actual women or girls, hence there's no identifiable victim, as the court in the states has ruled. extreme images tend to desensitise viewers to abuse, and they become acceptable and desirable in such subcultures, in the same way members of pedophile groups become desensitised to child abuse.
