What do you think about censorship of art? I think it's especially relevant as we can't post nude pictures here on gaia. Do you think the intent of the artist should come into play (art vs. pornography)? Do you think censorship should never or always be employed? Do we need these rules for our own protection, etc?
Say what you think and why.

I think there are reasons for censorship, and I respect them. I think, however, that in the case of artwork, it ought not be necessary. For example, I think a topic containing a non-censored nude pic should clearly say what it contains, so there is no mistake that there is nudity within. I mean, if youths are going to be online, it is quite easy to stumble upon nudity that /isn't/ in the form of a drawing asking for constructive comments and criticism, if you know what I mean. However, I think some of its main reasons for being is so that people don't try to push the rule by, say, putting nude males and females in a picture, trying to be suggestive of intercourse.... Blah...
So long as it doesn't get like Fahrenheit 451...

There should be warnings and filters for people who want them, but that's very different from censorship, which I don't really like at all. *3*
Keeping a site like Gaia PG13 is okay though. That's different from censorship, right? That's just maintaining a certain atmosphere, which you sometimes have to work hard to do on the Internet. (It's like how there are manga art sites that don't allow non-manga art, etc, so the atmosphere stays mangalicious.) But it's not forbidding anyone from anything, really. You can still PM that stuff of you want, and you can, of course, just go to a different site.
And.. can't we post nude pics on Gaia? We could, last time I checked.

I think censorship can be cooler than nudity if well used. but it depends on what you're doing tho. well placed objects work well for that.

I love the censorship they did way back then, where there would be these tiny little convenient branches in the way or these floating scraps of cloth in exactly the right places. Those rocked, woo.

Gonbe I love the censorship they did way back then, where there would be these tiny little convenient branches in the way or these floating scraps of cloth in exactly the right places. Those rocked, woo. LOL yeah, those were awesome. Only, it was usually the artist themself that did the censoring, and it probably seemed like a more clever trick than it does now back when they first started doing it. Now it usually seems a little cheesy. XD XD

I think censorship would be good. Most kids on here may not like seeing nudity whether it's drawn or actual pictures.

*Shrugs* I say that censorship isn't really required as long as it's not a surprize thing. Not say "Look, cudly bunnies!" and then have fully nude pics in it.
Personally, I add some kind of interesting things. Like once, I was making a girl in 3d, and a made a quick outfit so I could post it on the internet, or just a tubetop and short mini-skirt that had a big "CENSORED" in white, on a red background. Got many lol's off of that one.
Something has to be stated on sites like this though, but a general art site (such as deviant art) filters out most of the bad stuff for people that aren't a certain age, or aren't registered.

Explicit art should always come in two forms: Censored and not. And the non-censored should have a warning.
I don't consider anything porn unless it was made with little effort and for the soul purpose of being explicit. I draw explicit images, I put alot of work into the anatomy and imagery of it, however if I scribbled a certain sexual scene with little effort I would think it as porn. (same goes for pornos vs explicit love stories) There is a difference between being true the the nature of adult beings and how we err... enjoy ourselves and just plain "Here, watch this, its hot olololol"
Back to the censoring of items, well I firstly don't conisder 18 to be "adult", as a 13 year old CAN be "adult", in that they are able to look at a piece of explicit art maturely, whilst other 20-something year olds would still go "Err look its naked!". Censoring should be optional, all pictures that are wanted to be viewed as "Art" should come with censorship and explicit-with-warning.
(But this is just my opinion)

Also I just want to add the question of what an adult might say on their 'first time' with all nude images in the world being censored...
"Oh my god what the heck is that thing!?"

I believe that artistic n***s shouldn't be censored, It's interfering with the artist's original intent and the beauty of the piece. I believe that porn should always be censored, unless it's on a porn-exclusive site (so that unsuspecting people can't stumble across it).
But there's a fine line between romantic artistic n***s and porn, much of a pieces orientation is derived from the artist's intent. Because there is a difference between "I'm going to draw a naked chick!/ and/or sex!", and "These two characters/people are in love, and/or in a physical relationship. I want to create a piece that accurately portrays that."
In the case of a romantic or regular artistic nude, I believe that there should be a warning page or button the viewer is forced to click in order to continue on to the picture. This way there can be no doubt the person was confronted with the with the decision to look or not look, and that they consciously made that decision. That way no one who could potentially be offended by said type of content would come across it on accident.

this is a biased discussion....think about this...:
you walk into a museum of art where kids are allowed and you have some sculptures of nude men and women...paintings are floating in the sky with breasts all over them...a teenagers dream...yet on the internet, where porno is rampant there is no simple nude drawing?
Michealangelo was an awsome artist...n***s are a work of art...its not the porno comcept...its the beauty of the naturalness of it all

With a button you fear whether you shouldve pushed it...and most people will click the button anyway...
