Hello everyone,

so I just want to come out with this subject: nudity.
It's been more than 11 yeas that I'm browsing d2jsp and this always been a problematic subject.

As in any other forum and/or social network I understand there should be a sort of morale to follow in order not to offend any user.
Obviously any kind of pornography would be banished anywhere and I totally agree with that.

However how about nudity? I mean, according the rules even posting a Michelangelo's David picture would be prosecutable with a warn and/or suspension.
Let's bring it to a even more narrowed way of thinking: the Venus de Milo.
Venus de Milo is a 2100+ years old ancient Greek statue which shows...nipples. According to the rules that would be forbidden as well.


So I am a graphic designer and before graduating in Graphic Design and Art Direction I also attended the Artistic High School were we were drawing from a nude model (male) on the daily basis.


Now let me get this together, unfortunately 90% or more of the internet is porn. ANYTHING you will search on google has for sure a porn version (thanks rule34).
Somehow this world is sick but we gotta deal with that. But...how can we be "shocked" by a 2100 years old marble nipple?

My point comes due the fact I made an illustration inspired to Hajime Sorayama's works which shows (brace yourselves) a steel nipple.
It's basically a female robot posing as a pin-up, nothing more.
I'd like to show you guys this piece but seems I can't, it's too much.

What do you think about it?

Let me repeat myself, I do understand there must to be some kind of rules but don't you guys think this is being a bit eccessive? Shall it be revisited?
Maybe with a subforum where anyone who enters is showed a"Hey, you may eventually see a nipple here! Leave if you are too sensitive!"


Also, in addition to that, here we talk and share screenshots of games where fictional characters are brutally murdered and mutilated. Is that less shocking than some uncovered skin?



I HOPE I will not be warned/suspened just for talking about it. I'd like to remind everyone we are in 2017.


Thank you! :)

I don't know why you can't grasp this but if they give in to old artistic depictions of nude, people than they might as well give in to full nude anything which will just lead to trolls using porn on the site frequently.

I think we all love some nudity, but let's just leave this as a gaming forum with its few non gaming sub forums and you take your artistic porn to other sites.

No shit, but do you really think they want to set a guide of rules stating "hey, this is considered porn but not so much this"

It's just gonna cause too much bullshit but only an idiot wouldn't understand that

again, you don't need a rulebook to tell which is porn and which is nudity.

also it seems nipple is literally satan, as you can show basically everything else, you can show ass with g-string, you can show almost full breasts, naked abdomen, sexually suggestive poses ... EXCEPT for nipples.

I believe d2jsp is not ONLY a gaming forum since a long while but I am having a hard time understanding some politics.


basically: donate more, don't question staff, donate more, lick staff asses and you'll be fine

So you are basically saying that the Michelangelo's David is a piece of pornography?

If that should be a gaming website only, what's the point of Graphic Design subforums and galleries? What about politic and religion subforums where people talk about war and other more complicated subjects?
