I still don't like it. Here's why: Say you're displaying a fairy or baby model in the Showcase forum. R'osity says you have to cover the genitals or put a nudity tag on it. Since you want the most people possible to see your new product, you cover the genitals with the most convenient thing... the model's hand. We've seen these kinds of poses a thousand times here. Uh-oh, better make sure those fingers are positioned just so, or the image could be interpreted as masturbatory. You see what I'm getting at? There is *always" room for interpretation. I still say what people render should not be a criminal act, just because a few pixels are in the wrong place. Tilandra
