Should Such Daily Shots Be Allowed?

and tell me whether such content is allowed on WC?
There are cartoons and cartoons. While there is nothing wrong with animes or manga per say, there are some that borderlines chauvinism or even pronography/paedophilia.
For example, there is nothing wrong with this wallpaper for example, although it is an anime too:
I'm sure you can see the difference in this and the "G4 Girl" or whatever she's called. While, I have nothing against the latter either, I do it's it's borderline, while there is nothing even close to borderline in the above image.
| The problem is the super conservative religious right thats imposed on people of the US (and heavily supported here obviously) causing images of (for lack of better description) "scantily clad women" to be BAD.The iconification and objectification thats rampant in the US is the main cause of such utter crap occuring over a "naked body". |
| But hey, if it is "bad" to you, never pick up a foreign magazine or go to a foreign country with little children. You'll be covering their eyes and locking them away in your hotel room the whole time. |
I read foreign magazines, I have travelled the world, and I am not some conservative religious right person.
dear god...
| the yound girl depicted was cute and she had boobs |
Therein lies the problem with anime. The 'sexual' depiction of a minor is illegal, and for good reason.
| Anyone who sees anything sexual in that Anime picture is a pervert. |
I guess the issue is that we are not going to be providing a breeding ground for such 'perverts' by hosting such images.
While parents 'may' be responsible for all the sins of the world, including those perpetuated by our offspring, having no controls what-so-ever on what is, or is not displayed on the site would be a continuation of this failing.
Sure, all sorts of 'nasties' can be seen elsewhere....and good luck to it/them....but they're not going to be seen here.
Just as your lovely, cute rug-rat may know more colourful language than you does not mean its use will be condoned here.
Sure, nudity is natural and healthy...we as adults exercise our rights to choose what 'sort' and how much of it we wish to see, but equally, as adults we are entrusted with the protection of our young [and that of others].
What one person may consider to be draconian repression of free-expression another equally legitimate opinion may be that even the current level of 'control' is too lax.
Generally it is wise to err on the side of caution.
So we do....
You know, when I applied that wall to my desktop, I didn't see a scantily clad female at all, ......really! I only saw the amazing skill of the artist that drew it. I thought it was a great idea, superbly executed. In fact, I have spent more time looking at the hair in that picture than anything else. I can't believe that such a simple image spawned such a complex discussion. Personally, I don't really want to discuss morality here, suffice to say, I have two perfectly adjusted children who live with these "immoral" images on a daily basis.
The thing with kids is, it's how you bring them up. Mine are doing o.k...........................

hotel and no tvs..
Well, here is my personal opinion on the topic.
I am not in the least concerned about small kids viewing those kind of images, or even full nudity. What I am worried about are the men and the women. Let me explain:
Men: See it or not, admit it or not, those kinds of cartoons use the face of a child on a grown woman's full figure body. After a while, through repeted viewing, we (men) become accustomed to such an unnatural combination and start to take it for granted. Naturally aroused by the body, we start to develop a taste for extreme youthful faces, therefore leaning slowly and unperceptibly towards paedophilia. This is classical conditionning, and it doesn't need to be debated, as it's a fact and it works. Pavlov's dog.
Women: well, I think that images showing women (or girls) as a sexual object is debilitating towards women. Note that I have nothing against nude art. In a nude artwork, women are not "posing" naked, or are seldom. They are rather portrayed executing some routine activity (bathing, sleeping, etc). Nudity is justified when it makes sense, not when it's the objective. Women are not nor should they be shown as sex toys.
Of course, this is my own personal opinion and I do not force it onto this site. If I personaly disagree with such an image, it is not against this site's policies.

No, there are many styles of animes. Some are children with children bodies (see post #101), or adult face with adult body (https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=5957).
But if you are exposed enough to the kind of half-naked full-feature body with a child face, you may start finding children face sexually appealing, yes. It may take years of conditioning, but I believe it very well may happen, that is if you find the body below the face sexually attractive. I'm not saying a person would go attack children. Of course most people won't. But they may find themselves staring at children faces a little too long than they should...
