Why is it ok to post written pornography but not images of pornography here?

[c=#BF0080]It's not on here.. any nudity will get removed.[/c]

@pinkrainbowkisses: true. But in society. Someone makes a painting of a naked woman and it's beautiful, and they hang it in a museum for everyone to see, take a photo of a beautiful naked woman and it's dirty and has to be kept behind the counter at a convenience store.

[c=#BF0080]Oh, I thought you meant like professional photography that would be considered 'art'. I'm not sure about paintings or drawings on here.[/c]

@pinkrainbowkisses: I mean just generally speaking

@zerofuks2give: [c=#BF0080]There's a time and place for everything. If you go to a museum to look at 'art' then you know what you might see and it would be acceptable because you're able to see it differently than everyone else. I'm not into 'art' so all I would see is a naked lady and think it was perverted and laugh at it. You wouldn't go hang a pic of a naked lady in a school or church.. because it would be inappropriate for the environment. Just like here.. if they allowed photos of actual naked people then at what point does this become a porn site?[/c]

@pinkrainbowkisses: but there is tons of written porn already on here so what's the difference?

@zerofuks2give: [c=#BF0080]Written porn I can just read a sentence to know it's not something I want to read.. I have no mental image of it and can scroll past it. A pic doesn't allow me to do that.. it's right there for all to see and I have no choice but to look at it.. you can scroll past it but you've already seen it regardless. [/c]

@pinkrainbowkisses: fair enough but isn't that why there is a rating system in place?
