Gotta agree with Jack on this one. It's a touchy subject but should be addressed. The actual US laws prohibit depictions of children involved in acts of a sexual nature, as well as LEWD display of their genitalia. I'd say the second category would apply to, say, a picture of the Olsen Twins giving us a spread beaver shot. I figure it means that the nudity has to be secondary to the actual main intent of the image. I know it's a bit tricky to judge this sort of thing, but hey, let's cut right through all of this straight to the bone. We're not all DUMBASSES here. There's a difference between the LETTER of the law and the SPIRIT of the law. The artist's INTENT here is fairly obvious. It's a depiction of a waifish little fairy, and I see NOTHING sexual in it at all. Personally, I can see that folks might think it's a pic of an underaged girl, too, but to be honest, the scale of her secondary sexual characteristics doesn't exclusively indicate that she's even under age. Pardon my crudeness, but HELL, I've banged women in their THIRTIES with knockers that size, but that doesn't make me a pedophile. Her face looks pretty young, but my wife looks younger than her, and she's 28. What it boils down to is THIS; some folks LOOK for an excuse to start flinging their feces. They aren't OFFENDED...they're THRILLED to have an opportunity to screech like the little BITCHES they are. Thorne, keep up the good work. And for all of you out there who like screeching and bitching...just wait until the adult forum is up and running. The first pic I post there is gonna REALLY piss you off!
