V? Is that you?

Tweaked a few things this weekend.

I use the Dark theme and all I saw was a block of white that seared my eyes. No way am I reading through that mess. Maybe if it were broken into paragraphs, but doubtful.

funnily enough, I'm currently watching this video. lol

they usually complement the coat color, though. To me, neither the style nor the color work with your horse part. Just my opinion, though.

It looks like your head is too small in relation to your body. Your neck looks like it is too long. Also, are you missing your teeth?

I like the armor. horse coat color is nice. The top half doesn't match the bottom half. The hair doesn't match, nor does the style really work for what you have going on from the waist down. Not too sure if the full tattoo really works with this. It's like it should be two different avatars. the body of the horse is too "clean" when compared to the human part of the body. It just doesn't gel together for me.

Oh. so now we're taking sides here? Nope. I don't play that game. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the person who originally started the original discussion and how smoking is where the line seems to be drawn. Especially since the original post in this thread states " The question isn’t so much should the creative use of smoking in an artistic image be restricted, as whether the audience here is so programmable we should infringe on the artist’s freedom of expression? " I bolded that part, because it clearly leads the question further. It's not just about smoking, it's about everything else as well. All I'm getting, when asking why the other vices aren't covered is "Because." "Because" isn't a valid answer. It's what a parent tells a 5 year old when they want candy right before bedtime.

Why? so we can say the same thing in a multiple threads? Also, highlighting stuff doesn't make it any more important. that's very patronizing of you. lol

Again. Why are we focused just on smoking? If you're going to talk about the influence of smoking in pictures, you might as well cover the rest of the vices too. And I don't see that as going off-topic. It's all about the same thing.

Why? Why are we only focusing on smoking? Why is that where we draw the line? why is that one vice worse than sex, drugs, drinking,etc? Why is that the one we are focusing on? Why is it okay to look at pictures that depict sex, drugs, drinking, violence but Gods forbid we see a picture of smoking? Also " Because" is not an answer.

But why are we limiting it to smoking? Why aren't all the other vices being called out too? If you're going to try to limit one, in what is essentially an art form, then we need to discuss why we aren't all the others.

Can you prove that smoking in a digital world does? What about all the drunk driving deaths that happen each year? Yet, I don't see the original post talk about alcohol abuse? What about domestic violence deaths? Don't see those mentioned here either.
