Bagnu Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 16 hours ago, Orwar said: No, the moderators have been pretty clear in the past - doesn't matter if you've shot it in high-contrast B&W with artistic lighting; if there be nipples, side-boobage, too much butt (don't know how much is 'too much' though), genitalia, heavy petting, etc, it's a no-no. I hardly think nude virtual selfies can be compared to renaissance frescoes. Relative artistic merit is irrelevant to my point, actually. I was simply pointing out that nudity and pornography are different. Opinions do tend to vary over time though. Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine chapel were considered pornographic by some at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never claimed otherwise. But the rules don't say 'no pornography', they say 'no nudity'. 6 minutes ago, Bagnu said: Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine chapel were considered pornographic by some at the time. Again, you can't seriously compare anyone's work here with that of Michelangelo. And it's not about what you or I think, it's about what rules Linden Lab have written and enforce on their platform. They could write 'no hedgehogs' into the rules if they wanted to, neither your or my opinion on that would matter a squat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make it clear that I do not share his opinions. And the fact you didn't address the irony of your "people jump in and make comments" when you in fact jumped in and made a comment on something that was not addressed to you is not lost here. I do not care if you and he share opinions, art galleries, partnerships, sims etc and I doubt anyone else does either. We were all done with the Talli-Bagnu Show a long time ago and are not interested in a reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment about people jumping was about people who claim to hate drama, yet can't resist commenting, and this perpetuating it. I never claimed to hate drama. I am over that show too, he just needs to stay away from any conversation or anything else I am a part of. Of course he never has listened to anything I or anyone else has said. This all started because of pictures I posted, it has nothing to do with him, and I never drug him into it, nor would I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this, I did not mean to post what I did, sometimes when I get worked up my brain switches gear mid sentence. It should have been all bits covered or no bits showing, but I seem to have gotten mixed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdminGirl Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Regardless of which pics survive, those who try to test the limits of the no nudity rule just shows how little respect they have for everyone else on this forum. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colleen Criss Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) If I saw the right photo in this topic, yes there is nudity cleverly covered by flowers and grass. Not porn but also against the TOS for this forum BUT unless LL ranks it all the complaining and debating at this point just becomes needless drama. I'm guessing no one has reported it , because I posted boobs with nipple covers and it was pulled in a day. This specific thread is not called Debate the photo, it's called how does your avatar look today. Yanno, for fun and entertainment not drama filled debating. BUT carry on.

However, posting the pic without the narrative would have been more appropriate. That, and that alone in my opinion, is what sparked the debate. Not in the least surprised as despite protestations, some things are done specifically to get attention. Again, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
