Okay, it's mornng, I've calmed down (a bit). I'm not going to address everything - this thread's exploded in all directions. I accept my original thread title was ill-considered - I was angry at the response my husband had received when he emailed the admin staff about this product. I typed when I should have stopped and thought.

It was not a case of "dragging Sekhet into it" - the whole thread was about a single product that he had produced. I still maintain that producing a piece of bondagewear for a figure described by its supplier as a "young teenager" is inappropriate. This goes beyond finding it merely offensive - (generally I just ignore such things), but IMHO the issue here goes deeper. I admit I hadn't realised how common it was to morph Laura into an adult - she's not a figure I've used much - but her basic look and intention from DAZ is for her to be a young teenager - not a teenager (18+) but one aged 13-14. The harness is not a parachute harness or anything else - the straps are highly impractical for anything else - but is sexwear. Even Sekhet had his doubts about it - click his Details button on the freebie. I agree with him - he shouldn't have done it!
It is dangerous to associate children with sex. Yes, Conniecat, maybe my view is coloured by some of the people I work with professionally (I'm a mother myself of a teenage daughter so perhaps that also colours my responses). I have dealt wih a number of pretty appalling sex cases recently. One that sticks in my mind was a septuagenarian who complained because English law would not allow him to have sex with a 12-year old. He drew on sexualised children images from the media to bolster his twisted view. The harness for Laura touched a raw nerve for both me and my husband.

Poser porn has always and always will be a significant part of poserdom, but there should be limits to what is available. I felt, and still feel, that this particular freebie goes beyond those limits.
