I could walk down the street and see someone get murdered, too, but I'm not gonna let my kids see that either. Just because it's viewable somewhere else, doesn't make it OK here.
Shall I change my avatar to a pic of a mangled body after a car accident, because you can see that elsewhere too?
the difference being , as others have noted - what the "general acceptance" level is.
pretty much no matter where you are, the "general acceptance" of a bloody mangled body is going to be pretty low. most people, anywhere, do not want to see that - and would go out of their way to not see it.
a woman in a bikini on the other hand, has a much higher level of general acceptance. you don't gasp and turn away, or shield your children's eyes at said beach do you? as you would with the body on the street? again, it's where you draw the line, and who get's to draw it? as w1z said, (paraphrasing) it's too hard to generalize, case by case is the way.
actually i'm quite surprised that you and others considered that an accurate analogy. I can understand your argument, but that is just soo obviously above and beyond.
not to start a war but what avvys are you guys seeing that are that bad?
