Since the original thread was locked while I was drafting this reply, I'll have to post it here :)

I seem to remember the idea of a separate gallery for images that would be considered more 'adult' being discussed a while ago. I knew the discussion would not lead to any changes because this is America after all and we're the most unreasonable members of the human race. Everything tends to one extreme or another here.

With that in mind, I would still propose such a gallery because it would circumvent a lot of issues that spring up concerning the suitability of images. Nobody could reasonably complain about the images in such a gallery because simply viewing in that gallery would imply a form of consent.

There could still be rules and not an anything goes philosophy but the present restrictions could be relaxed a bit more in such a venue and no one need be offended.

I have always contended that there is a need for a gallery that would allow quality artistic images with an erotic theme. That venue should be here at Renderosity that acts as a showcase for many other types of themes.

' By the same token, it's emphasis on the heavy restrictions toward sex and not toward violence (aside from torture) is an obvious "Americanization" of atypical attitudes and views.'

This was my first thought also when I first read the topic. While Renderosity does not encourage images depicting violence it does go along with that barbaric American mindset that has no trouble with raising violence to a status of a cultural icon but eshews any notions of human erotic activity :)
