Slut in the screenshots... -Sigh-
Saturday, May 24, 2003 by EventHorizon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
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.

Maybe I'm just missing something?

So if you want to see girls in bikinis and the like, you should have to go to deviant art not here.

I think that they are nicely drawn and not the least pornographic. If that's what EventHorizon is aiming at, but don´t dare to say.

Darn it...that one was a close call.
No actual 'nudity', just that typical cruddy 'anime' imagery that is strangely popular.
2 admins were 'not sure about it' [me being one] and a third thought we were being overly cautious.
In fact, my concern wasn't with 'cartoon cleavage' but with the Japanese pre-occupation with depiction of 'uncertain' age/maturity of the figures....'little girls with boobs' if you know what I mean....THAT was my 'concern'.
Perhaps I am being 'conditioned' by years of life-drawing ... and am less affected by such as some...but if a concensus requests such be removed then perhaps it should...

I have no problem with that image. I don't find it offensive.
Of course, I have also had life drawing classes, and can appreciate the human form.
If there was some sort of sexual scene or something like that, I would object to it. But, you can pick up a copy of people magazine and see actresses wearing less than that.

If a child were to say that due to that image, I guess they have never gone to the beach with their parents...
(Oh, and yes, I am a Mom of a 4 year old. So, I *am* looking at this as a parent.)

Are there a bunch of rules that can be applied that will make sure anyone using anime drawings won't be whupped (certain boob size? wrinkly face? I mean come on)
The linked image does not look particularly young...or old..that is the problem with anime you cannot easily see ages (unless it has been drawn to be obvious)

Possibility of a wallpaper with one of those young, yet professional, anonymous models (you know, the ones that usually end up in middle pages of magazines like maxim). Age 18 in a bikini or summat. Age cannot be verified, must that wall paper be banned? must all models in any wallpapers have age verification?

Personnally, I find strange that some people enjoy sensual looking cartoons, but Ihave nothing against it. There is no nudity, there is no sexual act; this is not pornography. At the most, one could find it erotic (although it is still just a cartoon); and some people do consider this art. I personnally find nothing exciting about a half dressed cartoon, but I find nothing offensive about it either.

The problem you're reaching here though, is one man's smut is another's art. There have been WAY too many debates on what art is and isn't, and I really don't want to get tied up into that type of debate (please don't go there). In reality, in my opinion (which really dosen't mean much BUT!) there really hasn't been anything that you don't see on network TV, or in the magazine rack of your local conveinence store, or supermarket for that matter (ie: Maxim etc.). Any little kid who goes to those places or watches tv will see that. So is it right or wrong really?
So finishing up with the example posed, I'll tell you what, I've seen a whole lot more flesh on a real girl on the cover of Sports Illustrated before.

I don't like the Anime fetish but thats just my own view .... and I'm not against walls featuring them, but I would prefer to use a desktop with Dolphins, Palm Trees, Rainbows and Lensflares, with one of those sophisticated chrome 'half ring things' as a central motif .... rendered in Bryce of course!
