Renderotica is a cool place. AAMOF I'm a mod there. However, I want a broader audience for my work than just those who are looking for "Adults Only" images. I don't consider most of my images to be adult only (many people do, and they are usually the ones who take issue with nudity in general, hence the tags and warnings, and disclaimers). A lot of people are uncomfortable going to sites like Renderotica and Thralldom, but have no issue with nudity in art. I truly despise being told that because my images contain nudity, that they belong automatically segregated at a site lite Rendrotica. Some of my images are of a more erotic nature and so they are, indeed, more appropriately placed over there, but most of them are artistic nudes or fun pin ups. I went to an anime convention over the summer and entered the art contest and auction. They had my work in a little cubicle (only two other artists had nudes), away from everyone else, and only persons over 18 could enter. Out of 5 or 6 images, one should have been stuffed in that cubicle. The others were completely harmless nudes. I feel like I lost sales because of that. Because there are adults who dislike srtong sexual themed images, but still appreciate nudes, who would not step into that cubicle because of the "Adults Only" stigma. Why are Americans such prudes? Hmph! Next we will be censoring Degas at the MFA.
