(Edit: some coward anonymously complained about this image and DA automatically reflagged it to 18+. Should I take it down? I am not sure how I will retaliate yet)


Model: Stacie Snow

Why is it that 4 square inches make an image "naughty"? Granted, the outfit Stacie is wearing is small, and revealing, technically she is "clothed" and not "nude." Courtesy of a little bit of double-stick tape and 3 pieces of fabric, this image is not "mature content" - but the only difference is that all-important 4 inches of wrinkly-looking skin.

Contrary to my usual policy of marking everything I do as 18+ regardless of its contents, I'm not flagging this as 18+ because that's the whole point of the image.

In all honesty catastrophe, the only ones that cant handle it are the ones not mature enough...i imagine dv took action just because its easier to have someone re-upload it then argue with you for a few weeks why they wont. Sorry but thats just my opinion and can be taken or thrown out.

Censorship is a centralized entity telling others what they can't see, and what they must see.

Freedom is being able to choose not only to see things, but also not to. With the internet, this is finally becoming possible.

That's my two cents.

So you are saying there has never been any "freedom"?

There is freedom when there is neither someone telling you that you can't see something, nor that you have to see something.

In a personal situation, there is respect, and someone can stop talking when they see that they're words are hurting someone.

In the age of centralized mass media, there was no ability to see who you're talking to and stop if they're uncomfortable, so centralized rules were imposed on everyone which dictated what we couldn't see, and what we would have to see if we went to the media. Our freedom was restricted on this level.

The internet allows us to gain advantages of natural humanity on a mass level. Now people are usually free to simply change their filter settings according to what they do and do not wish to see at the time. It's still not perfect, but the internet's a billion time's better than television in so many areas, especially freedom.

I'm no coward. I was the one who reported this image, because like it or not, this image does contain mature content, as Deviantart has also decided.

Well, nice of you to step forward and identify yourself.

What about this is "mature"? What offends you about it? Or do you just enjoy seeing rules enforced? "DA agrees" is a weak argument because they generally just play it safe when someone complains.

This is an issue that has annoyed me for a very long time. The thought the the concept of 'nudity' could be defined and contained in a neat little box, that it can be defined by 'the showing of genitals'. It's much more than that. Nudity is a very diverse subject, it can be used subtly to make beautiful pieces of art, and while I'm not saying your piece isn't beautiful, she is quite blatantly nude, and there is no way around it. The fact is, even though everyone loved the concept behind it, the rules are there for a reason, if I hadn't have reported it, someone else would have.
Let me get this straight, I have no problem with the art itself, I quite enjoy it, only the way it was presented to the public.
