I am sure that if thirty people respond to this you are going to have thirty different views on what is acceptable.  Agreed is does look a little strange that items like this are on sale at a time when, in a forum thread, it has been sort of accepted that a render showing a adolescent flat chested 'female' alien would break the TOS.  There was also the time when the 'other site' referred to could be mentioned but not linked to but then that made more consistent by not allowing links, even if that was not the intent.

One big problem here is the 'intent' for the product, even the bondage products highlighted distances itself from the possible sexual aspect in the promos.  Of course this does not stop anyone using the item in a sexual manner but I can see the artistic aspect in the product.  I can also see possibilities where the render could be used in a non sexual manner, like a render depicting the abuse of people by traffickers of refuges fleeing their war torn homes.  Such a render may not meet the TOS here, but it might elsewhere and it would be depicting what is happening to people right now. 

I have shopped here for years but also occasionally at the other site because there is a lot there that, while the drive there might be sexually explicit, there are items that may be used in a non sexual manner that is not available at Rendo.  If you were trying to portray a dungeon for an illustration for a period novel there is far more applicable products there than at Rendo.  With this in mind it would be rather hypocritical of me to condemn Rendo for selling similar products, site consistency might be another matter though.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
