If you go look at his blog, his comic characters are gay. I suspect that might have something to do with it, and if it does, that's such a shame.
Maybe one day this world will learn tolerance. I guess some of us just aren't there yet :(
i think that's a major assumption. if you look at his blog, you'll also find his comic is very political. nothing against the TOS here or more inflammatory than your average political cartoon, but very political and very opinionated. that seems to me like a more likely issue than the characters being gay, since politics is kind of a third rail on most Poser/D|S sites i'm aware of. afterall, they've been gay from the outset, but i remember when Sean's gallery was more about general stories than particular current events and political opinions. there was a time when his stories weren't political, even if he did have several days of posting political cartoons, but now it's all pretty political. i mean, well done political commentary and nothing tasteless or insulting (imho), but against other sites' policies.
i'm not sure it's fair to Renderosity admin to jump to the conclusion that the characters being gay was suddenly a problem rather than the more recent drift to almost purely political proselytizing. like i said, he's had gay characters for years, but the focus purely on politics is fairly recent.
