You have to give a hand to DA for making violent artworks acceptable in their policies while pr0n isn't.

When it comes down to it we have community population ade up mostly of minors and in a 'contest' between images of pornography and images of violence, violence is still far more acceptable for them to view.

Uh-huh. Right. And here I thought that violence and sex are both equally unacceptable for minors to view.

Bitch, please.

	You left out their over-burgeoning concern for Nazis and Holocaust revisionists. Personally, I am crushed and shocked--shocked!--that I can no longer be a Pornographic Connoisseur. Way to alienate your fanbase, dA! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Indeed. Because depictions of a perfectly natural function of the human body is so much more scarring than images of people hacking each other to bits, for example.

Reminds me of an article I read, in which Natalie Portman(?) said she wouldn't play characters in sexual situations until she reached a certain age, but still took an uber-violent role in The Profesional at age 10 with no qualms whatsoever. For some bizarre reason, in the US, extreme violence is so much more acceptable than sex.

Which is, you know. All kinds of fucked up.

	Well, I know that I'd feel a lot more comfortable hitting someone onscreen than I would screwing someone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's even better when someone's hitting a person who ~~raped~~ screwed them too. ~~Too much Dogville is really not healthy for someone's media morals~~... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	she plays a little girl that wants to learn to be a hitman to kill the guys that shot her 4yr old brother. she fires several shots in one scene, and snipes a dude with a paint round. rest of the violence (save for the when the police storm the apartment at the end) occurs apart from her.
