Because usually the standards for female nudity are lower than the standards for male nudity--as in, you can see female breasts in six films before you'll see a bared male butt in <I>one</I>, for the most part.<BR/><BR/>I don't get it, I just don't. Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man--fully nude; Michaelangelo's David, fully nude; but you can't have artfully covered female breasts, and you can't have Botticelli's Venus on display.<BR/><BR/>Might be wrong for the children to see.

And yeah, I'm still wondering about that myself--what makes the sculpted David, with full frontal male nudity, acceptable, and even partially covered female nipples not?<BR/><BR/>But then, that's something I wonder about America frequently. Justin Timberlake "accidentally" revealed Janet Jackson's nipple at halftime, and half the nation went mental. And I never understood <I>that</I> either. <I>Everyone</I> has nipples. <I>Most</I> of everyone was either breast-fed, or understands that Mommy comes with nipples.

Having a PG rating anyways on a grid that is for adults only is hypocritical and stifles artistic freedom. The Lindens came to us 3 weeks before the event started and imposed the PG rating. So we had to compose with it. Apart that statue of David, nobody got favors, including me and my good friend Mairead. We all got infringement notices and had to self-censor. The lesson? Shlongs, good taste and artistic. Nipples, hide the children!<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of how hypocritical and conservative America can be. Nipplegate anyone?Codiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397733707311930482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-23505993427151531072008-07-03T13:54:00.000-07:002008-07-03T13:54:00.000-07:00I admit, while 'Bastard' is not gender-inclusive, ...I admit, while 'Bastard' is not gender-inclusive, I did let the word lead me towards an inaccurate gender identification, and for that I apologize--gender in SL, with naming conventions, is somewhat tricky on occasion.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I remain in favor of a Mature-rated celebration, not to <I>per se</I> allow things like pseudo-gambling establishments, poledancers and the like, but to appreciate that everyone on the grid is, at least in theory, eighteen or older.<BR/><BR/>It's not just you, either. Uccello Poultry put an image of Botticelli's <I>Venus</I> into her build for the Isle of Lesbos, and she was told she had to remove the nipples, or not show the picture. So she took the original into PhotoShop, airbrushed the nipples away, and showed it again. She was approved.<BR/><BR/>Then SL5B opened, and she saw the sculpted David, and she's been boggled ever since.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-11628340007686089322008-07-03T09:32:00.000-07:002008-07-03T09:32:00.000-07:00First, I'm a her.

Lingerie is PG okay, but some of the pictures had see through lingerie and i had to remove those from the display.<BR/><BR/>If you ask me about that PG rating anyways, I think this is a load of... Last year it was mature and we didn't had to play the cops for the Lindens. This year is different. But what shocks me a bit more, is that the giant 5m shlong on that David statue is considered academic and PG, while my Vargas style pictures are considered borderline because of a few nipples.Codiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397733707311930482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-17147080991579302162008-07-02T22:08:00.000-07:002008-07-02T22:08:00.000-07:00Thank you!
