I'm all for difference and experimentation.  That's never been an issue with me.......in fact, I'd encourage it.

Where I feel that the discussion gets off-track is when people start making claims that the obsession with sexually-charged items and images is somehow a particularly localized phenomenon within the Poserverse -- when in reality it's a phenomenon that's pervasively exhibited across-the-board (even in highend "pro" CG galleries !) in today's culture.  Not too many years ago, this same sex-obsession was held up for praise as a newfound form of "freedom" -- an escape from the Victorian mores of a repressed past.  But now.....some people's attitudes seem to be swinging back the other way -- at least to a point, and with an odd PC twist to the pendulum swing.

Frankly, I'd have a lot less problems with the complaints if the complaints were deriving from a standpoint of pure moral issues, rather than from a standpoint of PC'ism.  Political Correctness attacking near-universal cultural sexual obsession is basically an example of one wrong-headed idea attacking another wrong-headed idea -- and for the wrong reasons.

If the truth were known -- I suspect that there are also other underlying motivations in play here......but I can't be certain that I'm right about that in particular cases, so I'll leave it lie.

The Poserverse is no more guilty of sex-obsession than standard television fare is -- or the movies, or PC games, or novels, or Broadway plays, or the DVD's at your local video store, or the magazine rack at your local grocery store, or........pretty much any other form of popular entertainment that you'd care to bring up.  It's everywhere --

.........so Poser is what you, as an individual, make of it.  What someone else chooses to do with the software program you can't........and you shouldn't have to.........answer for.  The Poserverse doesn't deserve any special condemnation -- beyond what the entire culture should be condemned for.
