If they actually removed it, and didn't have anything in the rules about topicality or humor, they suck and should be ridiculed

He got to keep his ribbons, he wasn't disqualified or anything and his other miniatures stayed up.

Some things can be expected not to work as a display in public.

Only people who know would know. I don't see the problem.

I think the problem is they don't want this to become a 'thing' with people trying to push the envelope further and further.

Somebody saw a problem and got it removed. Personally, I couldn't care less because the creator really should have seen this coming, at least as well as they saw them coming.

You.. could.. care less?

Awww he does care. Even if it’s only a little.

Sorry, I do a lot of typos these days

Too much phone scrolling

I mean, I bet that person has fun testing the fences and finding out exactly where the line is.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

For sure, I'm glad he submitted his piece and won a ribbon.

Eh, we have nude statues in public places, paintings too. Like, not in museums, in the open.

This model isn't even nsfw at all, it just references the subject of pornography, with one specific "genre" that's exemplified by a brand.

But, hey, they didn't penalize the maker, so it's all good to me :)

They at least let him keep his prize, though.

Ugh that just seems like fighting tightwaddery with more tightwaddery
