What worries me is a point that Turtle made earlier. The artist may be thinking entirely of the aesthetics of his picture, but some pervert out there may be enjoying it for totally different reasons. Lots of people may like Wyrmmaster's art because of his obvious breast fixation (nothing inherently wrong with that), but that may not be the intent behind his pictures(I use him as an example purely because I like his stuff). So if an image has a child-like nude figure in it, who exactly is 'tuning in' to look at it. The catogories that Lyrra referred to plainly exist. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating censorship here, nor am I totally against it, but true freedom of speech exists only as a concept. Otherwise we would not have laws against racial hatred, encitement to riot or child porn. No biggie, I like it that way. Remember, anyone with a PC and a modem can access the internet.
