OK....we'll set ONE thing straight....'hentai' will NOT be accepted...

I remember a run-in some of us had with a photographic image posted on Devart....the final determination was that the model was pre-pubescent, ergo it was 'child' pornography.

Had a hard enough time convincing people THAT had to go....[bloody egocentric artists].

Anime tends to depict child-like figures in often questionable poses...and those won't be accepted...not on a family site...even a 'hint' of soft-core kiddie-porn is still too much....

I agree with KarmaGirl again.

I think the decision that needs to be made is whether this site is suppose to be a G-rated site, a PG-rated site, a R-rated site, or ... Personally, many adults visit this site, and its true that many parents think this site is artistically minded and a good way to get their children involved in new technology art. I don't think anyone wants a G-rated site. It would be flat and unimpressive to the adults, 100% of who pay for object desktop. Everyone knows that one needs to supervise children on the net. So, a PG-rated site is more appropiate.

With that said, I didn't find the first link outside of that rating. The second one could probably be in a Disney Cartoon rendition of Tarzan and Jane. So, I don't think that one was inappropiate.

Sexuality isn't something that I feel needs to be feared with children. It's the expression of certain sexual acts. Neither of those images expressed any sexual acts. Those images did express decrete sexuality and because of that I felt that they were okay for a PG-rated site. We can't cover our childrens eyes on the net. Almost any site they randomly view will 50/50 be a sex site. What I'm saying is that the name of the link guarantees nothing. It is part of the net. Most children would probably think that both images were cute. I could see of no uncomfortable questions that they could propose for parents.

We see babies nude on TV commericials and we don't think that is sexual. If I saw two babies nude in a wall on this site, I wouldn't think that was sexual or inappropiate. A expecting mother might like it very much. Unless, we are thinking about perversion. And, I don't think that way.

If those two images were the worse, I think that there is much more to worry about in society for our children. Like many here have said concerning pregeant teenagers, and child violence. None of those images illicited to any of those problems. They were discrete and cute. Surely, they were not R-rated images. Therefore, I have no problem with them.

I too had more of a problem with the word S - - -, a R-rated or worse word, and parents having to explain to their children what that word meant. >

speaking of perception, percieved and setting... does anyone know of a therory call the Attrubution Therery??

this sounds like a new thread to me!!!!

joetheblow goes off to make a new thread

Not true paxx...I'm sure there is an active anti-Barbie cult...

 

BTW....I often find car engines 'exciting'....

Now THERE was a competent salute to the female form....I'd rather Lindsay over Picasso any day of the week...

ooohhh let not talk about artist!!! I forget his name but basically he went to Barbados to paint the 'natives' and explore the healthy tresurs of the islands



the paintings wouldn't be considered p0rn today, but it was defianatly p0rn then. Only fit to be bought by men who put it in the private rooms.

Gosh I wish I could remember who that guy is. One painting had a native holding a platter and her breasts where sitting on it with fruits and vegetables.

For the time it was clearly erotic in nature and for mostly one purpose.. nudey stuffus.

MHO? Using the word "slut" in the title of this thread is more offensive than any drawing displayed here.

Agree 100% with Knattz. When I visited the message board earlier, the subject title on this thread stuck out like a sore thumb

joe, are you talking about Vincent Van Gogh? He cut his ear too. He was schitzo. :/

Exactly so paxx.... just a matter of perspective....

no it wasn't Van Gogh. some other artist cat. I have to look in my art history book. when the class saw the images it was clearly art... and also a nudy picture. to sell back home as a sort of penthouse magazine for the 1700's

(paxx doesn't mind is there were breasts showing???)



I wouldn't mind to much myself. But the position, context, and other factors would play into my desition.

and yes that iMac girl was borderline too Doomgaze. Borderline but allowable.

I see those tears in the eyes as an extremely common element in Anime pics........
