Why Daz only includes the gens in the pro bundles I cannot say. The payment processer reasoning makes no sense, as Daz accepts credit cards and Paypal, and you can buy porn with a credit card and Ebay (which is owned by Paypal) sells adult sex toys. But perhaps Daz is using a third party merchant account from a local bank. Who knows what kind of restrictions they have?

 

You can not buy porn with Paypal, if they find out a merchant is using it, they will lock their account and freeze their funds. I know of a site that tried and pretty much lost a few grand, and that was two years ago and still no resolution. Visa has also gotten pretty restrictive with what they will allow too; renderotica lost their payment processing for about a month over some of the promotional renders and gallery postings. They were already paying a higher rate through because of their status and had to use a specialized payment processor. They didn't get the processing back until several products were removed from the store and renders removed from the gallery. DAZ doesn't want that distinction as if they had it, they could no longer offer Paypal for payments or would have to use specialized payment processor. I'm guessing they would rather err to the side of caution to keep their choice of payment processors wider by not allowing certain things or bundling certain items in more expensive packs so that it's not the focus of a product and it's acceptable by the processor.

I said you can buy porn with a credit card, and you can buy adult sex toys from Ebay with Paypal. I didn't say you could buy porn with Paypal because you're right. I don't think you can.

That said, Renderotica had pose sets for rape and torture scenes. And hundreds of images of sexual torture in their galleries and advertising their products. They were extreme. Even I found them offensive and troubling, and that's saying something.

RDNA, Renderosity, and others regularly sell sets (cheap sets) including improved genital morphs, and feature full frontal nudity and close-ups of these genitals in product promo pics. Galleries here and elsewhere permit full frontal nudity. And have you seen some of the stuff you can get prints off at DeviantArt? :D :D

I'm pretty sure that payment processors know the difference between nudity and sexual violence. We know Daz is based in Utah and somewhat more uptight about their "image" than other marketplaces. That is their preference, and entirely their choice. But let's not pretend they are totally liberal in their attitudes towards nudity and sexually stimulating images, cuz they just ain't. :D
