Okay, so child nudity or sex in CG art is harmless because noone is actually hurt and anything that limits us is bad. Did I get that right? Frankly this is frightening! Check out Renderotica and tell me what is going on with the people creating those images and viewing them. Do you all seriously believe that they are NOT having sexual thoughts? Even if the people creating these child images are thinking artistically, what about the guys looking at the images? I have young children and the idea that some scumball pervert being able to freely view these images turns my stomach. What about the poor kid(S) that he then comes into contact with after poring over these fine pictures? And please, don't throw Shakespeare and Botticelli at me, I don't recall seeing the works of either at this site. I like art, but somehow, I fail to see how children depicted in sexual situations qualifies. Can someone please explain to me why someone who is NOT a pedophile would enjoy that. You see, I agree that nudity is not always sexual, but it's not just nudity that is being allowed here. I think that Poser is a brilliant program and could list many excellent artists who have produced almost lifelike images with it, and this is what worries me. Someone said earlier that we would excuse kiddie-porn by calling it art. I think that's exactly what is happening here. Why do we think that any censorship is bad? Let's face it. There are some sick people out there. "soundly lambasted by his peers"? I don't think so!
