Slut in the screenshots... -Sigh-
Saturday, May 24, 2003 by EventHorizon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I hate to do this, but....
I have noticed lately, that there have been a lot of unsavory additions to the screenshots library. I emailed Jafo about this and he deleted a number of them, but of course, they still keep comin' in. B1uesummers in particular with some others coming SS Goku etc. I am wondering if maybe screenshots arent obliged to go through moderation...That could be a prob.
To see what im talkin about go to... https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=1973 Ok fine, thats just one, but ive been watchin the screenshots for a while and I dont like what I see...One IS worth removing so that we dont have little kids paying visits to the screenshots and saying, "Mommy, mommy, look at that!..."
Now some of you may not agree with me...(People's moral standards being different and all)...but I dont think its right for a "family site" to be displaying this kind of crap. Basically what Im asking is, could someone please remove the ones you see fit and to make sure these people dont do it again.

You go to a museum and you will see lots of nakedness in paintings. Manet's Olympia was a row, as was his dejeuner sur l'herbe. Both are now considered masterpieces. You only have to go to Rome and you will see sculptures of nude men and women. It's the thought one person gets, and to prevent that things have to be covered. The sistine chapel in its original state had only nude figures, until someone ordered to cover the sexual parts. I am glad eventhorizon started this thread, and again, some pictures have been deleted, some stay, as far as I am concerned according guidelines of this site. Now about that word in the title, can't you all stop? It has been mentioned so many times on this thread that it starts to take over the core issue. It was a genuine concern by someone of our community. Now leave it at that, and stop insulting please >

That means so much to me Bangkokboy. I've never been told off for my sarcasm before...
It wasn't just sarcasm for sarcasm's sake though, but rather my honest appraisal of the situation. All I saw here was very much a kneejerk reaction to something that isn't nearly as controversial or evil as the title of the thread implied. Very Victorian in fact.
To think I almost let the thread die...

the evolution of society over the past 60 years in particular has been an incessant broadening of the limits of personal experience thru media and personal interaction. this, upon repeated exposure, always establishes a pattern in the general populace of desensitization to and acceptance of that which was formerly considered unacceptable. looking at the history of the civilizations of the world, this process appears, for better or worse, to be irreversible, so arguments about it are frequently fruitless.
sample desensitization: circa 1927, a man in a small town north of Jackson , Mississippi was seen kidnapping a 12 year-old girl from a schoolyard. other witnesses saw him fleeing through town with the girl in the car. when the sheriff's posse caught up with him in the woods, he was burying her body after having raped and strangled her. the occurrance of this type of a crime was so totally shocking and unheard of back then that a mob in excess of 3,000 men from 5 different states surrounded the jail, caved in the wall with a truck, and ripped the perpetrator limb-from-limb in his jail cell. nowadays we see crimes like this once a week, feel very sorry for the victim and family, and very soon have completely forgotten all about it. what was once intolerable has been rendered ignorable by repeated exposure and desensitization.

i'm talking about societal trends, not complaining about art, NOT equating the separate evolutions of art and crime, so don't jump on me.

I don't see anything wrong with the human form.
If the screenshots showed a sexual act, or some sort of hate action or speech, then it would never be let through.
The human form is very natural and not something that I would consider a moral or ethical topic of conversation.
I guess a should quit wandering nude through my house for fear that my 4 year
old will see me? 
I also don't believe that seeing naked people (I'm talking just the human
form, not an "act" of any sort) will cause degradation of society. There
are many places that women can walk around topless and people don't care.
It's the human body- get over it.

KG - i agree with you about the naturalness of the human body, but i'm more comfortable out in the public eye with clothes on - and i suspect that for all your liberal ballyhooing, that you wear clothes to work also.
this is quite true, but there are far, far more places in the world where people do care and won't have it. You should hesitate slightly before blythely belittling the overwhelming majority of cultures in the world.

I wondered why that Wood screenshot got so many views. I was thinking some people have some bad tastes in viewing screenshots.

B1uesummers...I, as a moderator of submissions am still wondering whether you are simply submitting screenshots or are perhaps attempting to see how far things can be pushed...just to be controversial.
On one hand we have blandly unimaginative screenshots of no intrinsic creativity and on the other we have the female figure in various degrees of 'undress'.
I personally am more 'bothered' by the inanity of the screenshots than their perception of 'raunchy' content.
Try being 'creative' and imaginative, rather than controversial....no-one really cares for 'Piss Christ', you know...

BTW...this also applies to your latest upload '2 Psychopaths'....clearly an attempt tp push the limits of 'good taste'....pretty pathetic when you consider the spelling is so off as well...

There you go...for the 'serially embarrassed'....an acceptable 'nude'...from an ink on paper drawing, done by me in 1981...[any excuse for 'auto-spam']...
I guess the issue is not really with the 'what' but perhaps the 'how'...

Why is the spelling off? How is that screenshot in bad taste? I think it looks rather cool.
Like I said with the other one, just get rid of it. I'm not putting up a fight with it. Personally I think there is a lack of "character" screenshots in that section. Too much morphing/plain looking walls all over the place. As for the wood one I thought it was a nice change of pace in the overall look of pics. Nobody seems to want to use wood and even I don't but that doesn't mean it's not refreshing to see. I got the wall purely for the wood background. If I could I'd delete the girl in the wood background because she's not even that good to look at. Either way It's up to you whether I'm pushing the limits because the moderators decide whether it gets uploaded, so maybe "you're" trying to push the limits. I like a pic, want to see if others like it so I post it. If it's too much then bye bye pic and no hard feelings.
