Mr. Volare was originally informed that it could not, in any means whatsoever, be exhibited.<BR/><BR/>Why? Because it showed an adult male--Desmond Shang--and a female child--Miss Cornelia Rothschild--together in the painting.<BR/><BR/>Leave aside the concept that Miss Cornelia is <I>not</I> a child--and that she's on Iason Hassanov's shoulder, which would dwarf anyone--and leave aside the concept that everyone <I>in</I> the image is fully clothed--what made the organizers of SL5B turn it down was the adult-child connection.<BR/><BR/>Which in this instance is ludicrous, and Mr. Volare made this place. He <I>also</I> made plain that Miss Cornelia, while depicted in a young, cute fashion, was in <I>no</I> wise underage. <BR/><BR/>The ban was eventually lifted, the build went on, and personally, I think it's one of the highlights of SL5B. But that's the insane level of paranoia that's been exhibited behind the scenes.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-61555404423918259002008-07-01T10:26:00.000-07:002008-07-01T10:26:00.000-07:00Okay, so - did THAT picture cause REAL problems wi...Okay, so - did THAT picture cause REAL problems with the Caledon build, or SPECULATIVE problems...

Many sims default to Mature rating not because of sex or violence, but simply because concepts of adult nature may occur there, and while it may not be publically approved (in Caledon, for example, cursing in public is very <I>outré</I>, and all sexual activity--the stuph involving poseballs, not flirting aggressively--hells, flirting aggressively seems a national Caledonian <I>pasttime</I>--anyway--that's all kept above 512 meters. And there's talk further of raising that limit, now that the physics allow it, to 2000 meters), we realize it may happen.<BR/><BR/><I>*reads back and realizes that's a very confusing set of pauses and dashes, and decides to let it go anyway*</I>Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-48051967271879391662008-06-30T17:29:00.000-07:002008-06-30T17:29:00.000-07:00Too many cooks, I'll bet.
