"So, if they create such detailed models to sell at the high end market why do they turn into shrinking violets when it comes to creating or adding somewhat more realistic anatomy functions to their Poser & D/S models?"

IIRC, and this was at best second hand and years ago at that, the rationale was that such accoutrements had were unnecesary for 'artistic' work. Mike needs his schlang to avoid looking gelded but Vickie can get by with a chaste crease at most. Feminists can either recoil or rejoice depending on their perspective. There's the school market rationale but if nipples and nuts can be optional, I reckon lady 'bits' could be as well.

I know that you guys know that after they've burned the snuff purveyors, they're hardly going to mint medals for orifices being stuffed with tentacles and assorted unrecognizable offal, no matter the owner's apparent consent. It's fine to have standards and principles - indeed I am strongly in favor, it's just going to be a bit ironic sometimes when viewed from outside. Not a criticism, just an observation.

The entire DiD genre is a fascinating meme. From moustache twirling villians in the 20s,  to aliens menacing space maidens on the covers of sci-pulps of the 50s, and the perhaps inevitable progression to Erin Moran's creepy worm encounter in Galaxy of Terror. Somewhere, things went off the rails. Never seen any of the SAW franchise and after a few minutes initial blood splashing foray into the 'New' Hawaii Five O, it seems even network television is a bit too much for my tastes these days. The Japanese have managed (in some cases) to retain a bit of artistic style. Perhaps their lesser degree of illogical avoidance and attempts to deny or obfuscate the underlying sexuality the meme is based on allow them to concentrate more on eros and less on thanatos.
