Well. This is interesting. Two of the life drawings of OMG a naked woman that I posted a couple of weeks ago have been removed from Photobucket for violation of terms of service--which I looked up. Turns out, Photobucket has a policy of prohibiting content that "contains nudity, excessive violence, or offensive subject matter or contains a link to an adult website".
Which, ok, for the moment leaving aside all arguments about how nudity != porn, how are
these two drawings worse than
this one that was left alone? Does it really matter that much that she's in profile? There's still visible nipples. I'm leaving that drawing up mostly because I'm curious to see if it does eventually get taken down.
Also, I love how nudity apparently means any and all, no matter the portrayal, nevermind that in order to never see it you have to avoid ever looking down while taking a shower, but that violence only has to be "excessive". People harming other people? Perfectly fine. Nipples? Obviously cause mental scaring.
Nevermind the large quantities of nipples and general lack-of-clothingness that you'll see in any art museum. Like,
this painting is seriously sketchy, IMO. But, it was painted by the David that brought us "The Oath of the Horatii" and Napoleon on his pretty pony, so it's hanging very proudly in the Cleveland Art Museum. Also, it's the size of a wall, so Cupid's expression is quite terrifying in person.
This makes me really wish that I'd gotten around to scanning the drawings from last week, when we had a male model. There's a visible penis.
In other news, look,
