so that if you want to avoid it you *can*
otherwise you just happen to come across it... when it's too late
like a football game, we put walls and grand stands and big marching bands
around it so that ignorant passerbys don't mistake it for a tea party and
get tackled ;->
sure that's a silly allegory (with good reason), if a football game
(american football for all the intn'l folks) all of a sudden popped up in
a bussy bus terminal, wouldn't it be rediculous of the creators of this
game to pass off any injuries as acceptable affects of their game?
of course not! likewise it's rediculous to expect that everyone "just
accept" pornogrophy wherever it might appear....
so you have a big problem! not everyone is sure what pornogrophy is (in
the afforementioned Islamic society a woman in a one piece swimsut would
be pornographic), so maybe as a rule of thumb don't do anything that you
couldn't do in real life, in your own localized culture...
that way you can genuinely pretend cultural ignorance when someone
complains... and then maybe learn what someone else thinks is
obscene... I'm deffinately not for censorship, but a ratings system may be
welcome... (don't even ask me how to impliment this!)
