Quote - The decision to remove bondage gear and sexually related items happened some time ago, in order to make the site across the board, more "family friendly".  For example, it is far easier to equate plain simple nudity with inoffensive art than bondage wear, which, artistic or not, is generally considered overtly sexual.

I've always had issues with the whole 'family friendly' approach.   I've always felt it seeks to remove responsibility for a minor's guardian responsibility to monitor and control what information/programming/exposure said minor has access to.   

For family friendly, lets go to disney.com, really, nothing possibly offensive there.  Though I'm fairly certain someone can find something offensive about it.  

The point?   Its rather vague, but, it boils down to:  If you're not comfortable with it, fine.   But dont' use the concept of 'family friendliness' to do it.   

Its renderosity's store, and they have every right to control the content, especially if it has to deal with being in accordance with local laws.   

Just be upfront and say it.     But really.  I'm not trying to flame or be trouble, just staing an observation : )   Either that, I've totally missed the boat : )
