It aint judgmental.

It's not elitist.

It pretty much gives everyone the chance to post what they want and if folk want to look at it - it's there call. It does not tell me what I should or shouldn't be looking at. If a lot of folk like something it ends up on the front page. Sounds fair to me.

It takes the good with bad and lets the individual decide.

In the four and a half years I've been on here I've seen a couple of whinges on here about censorship but when I've looked at them it appears to be more about the site ensuring that it does not run foul of a myriad of laws.

Compare it to a lot of places......

Earlier today I loaded a picture on to another photo sharing sight. It's a nude but I doubt that this will suprise anyone reading this. Then it appears nowhere in there new pictures section????? About an hour later it slips in pages down under pictures that were uploaded after it. Censorship by the backdoor.

In the interim I read a blog post on the same site by this photographer (check him out great photographer) saying that the site in question is basically slanted against nudity in photography and because of this he wouldn't be uploading anymore images to it. So it's probably not just me being paranoid and there loss.

I just sometimes despair that people can't see the big picture.

Just because a photo contains nudity does not make it any better or worse than one that doesn't. Only the realisation of it can.

If you are offended by nudity why look. In fact if you are offended by anything that doesn't have a direct imput in to your life you don't have to be involved with it. Live and let live.
