You people calling him a tattletale or any other related terms are being idiotic. He simply used an example of something obviously considered acceptable to illustrate his point. People do this EVERY DAY in life. Grow up. To say his image suggested there may be some "potential" sexual act is asinine. If thats the case, then pull every image of any people kissing, hugging, or a million other types of displays of affection, cause any one of those actions can be potentially sexual. Pookah, you were clearly discriminated against. However, the owners of this site have the right to pull any image they wish. Drop it, move on.. Dont feel bad, you are not alone. It has happened to other people before. If it really upsets you, there is nothing making you stay here and continue to post images.

A conformist? now that is amusing, Pookah... I was intently ironic about what people will accept or not. Also, I do claim that people will be hypocritical when it's about discussing such issues. Depending on what they like or not, they will always find a way to "show they are right". I am myself well versed in the powers of the words, being a PHD in comparative litterature, and I've seen it countless times: when one wants to kill his dog he'll say the dog has rabies. When one wants to save his rabidious dog, he'll say the dog simply ate a soap bar, hence that foam on its mouth. Conformist? No. I don't condone either of the attitudes displayed in this thread, nor the "pro" nor the "anti". Now if you want to call me a cynical, I'll see it as fair enough and well, in some ways it's even a compliment.

"You people calling him a tattletale or any other related terms are being idiotic. He simply used an example of something obviously considered acceptable to illustrate his point.

A mature person who has a vaild beef argues his/her point on its own merits...they don't point fingers at other people. As far as "tattletale" being idiotic, check the link in the original post. The pic was obviously not acceptable and has been deleted. Gee, wonder why that happened? Hope everyone's happy now, another pic deleted. Guess it's only fair, let's keep going!

"Yes, mostly children and people who are guilty of something and want to turn the spotlight away from themselves" I tend to agree: my students did that all along the schloar year. You catch one playing Tetris on his cellphone? babbling with his deskmate? "But Sir, I wasn't the only one!" Ahhh doesn't that bring back some memories...

"Yes, mostly children and people who are guilty of something and want to turn the spotlight away from themselves." But, claims of discrimination can only be assessed and judged by comparison with other very similar situations in which the alleged discriminated characteristic was not present. Or to put it another way, for the sake of clarity, a simple example: a Black woman is fired from her job for failing to attend work on time over a period of a month. If she sues for racial discrimination, the case can only be judged by comparison to a white woman at the same company who had the same level of lateness, and whether or not she was also fired. --- In this situation, the thought occurs to me that perhaps the discrimination in this - and in all honesty, it's far, far more common for pictures with a homoerotic edge to be pulled than hetero or lesbian - is not on the part of R'osity, but its member base. We know that the mods can't possibly view every single pic uploaded, so they mostly rely on complaints from viewers. A pic with two women or a woman and man embracing in a sexual manner is far less likely to generate a complaint than a pic with two men. Sad, but true.
