So the question is has b3ta got to tone itself down because what people consider acceptable has changed, is the incredibly debatable and difficult definition of humour the key, or was it just internet bullying.
It'll never get solved, not on here anyway.

and therefore know I did not run to the teacher. I just said what I thought, which is what we do here, I believe. Then everyone makes up thier minds, for better or worse.

And I suppose it all comes down to perception of art. I try to draw pin-up style art; a lot of women find that offensive; many don't, and most don't care either way. I, personally, found some of Moggy's art disturbing. And I said so out loud; perhaps I shouldn't have.

he posted it. I expect there is a place for that kind of thing on the 'net, but experience would surely have told him it wasn't here.

and there is clearly a massive fanbase for that judging by the picture JJ has just this second posted

Moggy is not a she. Not in a million years. Women just don't draw that way, even in Japan. His pictures were always about power, control, and innocence, usually corrupted.

Anyone who starts conversations about sexual content with a lie about their own gender screams ALARM to me. But perhaps just me.
If I had a 15 year old daughter who was talking to a 40-year-old man pretending to be a 15 year old girl about sexual subjects, I'd rip his face off and ask questions later.
Maybe you wouldn't, although I seem to remember you getting pretty wound up on the way people talked to your daughter.

However the subject matter often left a lot to be desired. But then is acceptability much like humour: entirely subjective? There was an excellent point made the other day about the normalisation of illegal fantasies, the more cartoon paedophilia that floats about on the net the less impact it has and therefore the more accepted it may become. But does this mean that all dA users want to go out and fuck wild animals? I would hope that most healthy, sane individuals can distinguish between images made for their own titilation and going outside to do the real thing.
None of ^this means I encourage the creation of fictional child porn images, I'm just saying what has been said over and over the last couple of days - the issue is a very tricky one. Either we stamp all over everything that could cause offense (including mongychops' kids tv stuff), or tread carefully and judge each case in isolation, the latter of which is always going to cause upset when different people's standards vary.

I believe there are studies that link porn and sex-crime, but it appears it is entirely down to individuals, not the content.

See also - a few mentally ill kids playing violent computer games or watching action films, then going out to hurt or kill people resulting in a ban or age restrictions for everyone else.
