“This thread is interesting to me – not because of the issue of the TOS and gallery itself (those are an almost lost cause) but the comments of many here. It lets me know how far things have really shifted of late.
I find it interesting that we now live in a world where it is somehow considered crass or insane to recognize that some teen bodies are attractive. When Britney Spears hit she was 16 or so and many people recognized that she was just plain hot. I know, it’s amazing in this day and age for someone to admit that anyone under 18 might be visually appealing but those were wilder days when civilization was on the verge of collapse. That was before the thought police came and saved us all by stamping out evil.
Aiko is a fictional character. She is a collection of polygons. She is not real. The constant witch hunt to try and figure out if a given render of a fictional actress portraying a fictional creature (fairies) are underage is just nuts.”
