As someone who has been coming here for awhile (had to reregister, however, due to a domain going belly up), I have to question the reasons for this.
I can see the point of keeping it from children, but I know there are adults that enjoy this sort of thing. If it's due to possibly offending people, you might also want to consider removing all religous references in uploads too.
People that aren't christian could become offended by any representation of Jesus, or the holidays revolving around said religion. The same could be said for the non-jewish faith and the Menorah (sp?), Star of David, etc... Then you have the issue of people that can be offended by other logos, such as pentagrams, pentacles, skulls, etc.... that would be deemed offensive due to the 'satanic nature' of those images.
I can see the point of separating areas up, due to possibly offending someone, but just doing a blanket covering of 'this is not allowed' makes me question why, and simply offends me. I come here for the wide variety of images available, and while the adult section is not my 'cup of tea' I can't very well say I agree with denying someone the privlige of downloading what they like. It would be the same as they being allowed to tell me I can not download something I like to my phone. While the removal of those types of links may not be affecting me directly, I have to also agree with bupahs in that one person's definition of porn is not anothers. Artistic nudes, I do not consider porn, no matter how 'revealing' the image is.
Why should the entire community be subjected to a wide blanket statement, when they were not the ones offended/affected by it? If you want to remove it from the general public that's fine, but at least give the community the ability to choose for themselves. |
