The above painting is The Corpses of the De Witt Brothers, attributed to Jan de Baen. It portrays the decapitated, disemboweled and partially-eaten bodies of Dutch politicians. The automod is fine with it.
The automod was also fine with the severed head of Medusa in the first post of the thread. Well, I guess it's consistent to the inconsistencies of American prudery, I'll give it that.
tl;dr Just because THEY would be the person perving and creeping over the model in a figure drawing class doesn't mean the rest of us are and their censorship says more about them than it does about art or artists.
Wait, what? I read that book in school, I own a copy of it now. That’s one of the most un-laviscious books I can think of! Where the hell did their mind go!?
Right to the gutter, as is the case with all censors. It's like, who is more perverted, the Disney artist who slipped the word SEX into a frame of THE LION KING or the fundies who spent untold hours combing through the film frame by frame in the VHS era?
