soft child porn promoted as ART by sydney gallery

[BLACKZOOK]

i'd be more than happy to go to jail being a serial killer of paedophiles.

Is it just me or does that whole train of thought bring a smile to others faces as well?

Gotta be legend status behind bars

ABSOFUCKENLUTELY NOT.

There are plenty of legitimate ways for one to express oneself.
Kiddie porn is not one of them.

definitely not, there are millions of ways to be artistic and show ways of expressing yourself through art, but this is definitely not one of them..

[DjPete]

ill go with Kev too on this one.
Does anyone know about this artist?
Has anyone gone to the trouble to see other work he has done in comparison?
Does anyone know what he was trying to put across? Not that he has to.
Maybe what this has proven is that people are or can be very narrow minded and see naked and think porn instead of body, shape or whatever.
Just because there is a naked girl under age (laws made merely by man remember) does that mean it is porn or it was intended to be?
He may have been trying to get the message across that the human body is beautiful at any age...I don't know.
But he obviously isn't a porn promoter as such.

I don't know why everyone is getting worked up.
A lot of people go to porn websites and look at girls who are under age (do you really think they are all over 18???) and do all sorts of things and plenty of people do that on a regular basis in a pornographic way. And that is fine no one says a word but then this artist puts an image of a naked girl up and its pornographic and lets kill him etc etc....people are strange...

And don't forget you can go back thousands and thousands of years and see all kinds of paintings of naked underage girls etc but does anyone ban those paintings no...because we try to understand why it was done.

If this guy was abusing children or something I would be the first to say punish him but he hasn't hurt anyone at all.
He didnt force the girl and we don't even know how that was arranged either.
People are always quick to get on their high horse and point the finger as it makes them feel very righteous.
If this has proven anything it has shown to me how people perceive nakedness.
When I saw the cops arresting him I thought wow we have really gone back to Nazi days...why not just hang him there and then...the bastard.

There...that outta get you guys going.

Do not question the majority, fool!

I tend to agree with Kevin here - there is way too much being decided by the media and the uneducated masses of late.

Yes, the girls were probably too young but c'mon guys this sort of arty young girl photography has been around for a while. It doesn't appeal to me, but neither does alot of "art". Were the models abused, threatened or scared...no. Everyone here spends time a fair bit of time on the 'net and should have some idea of what really is porn and what is not.

DJPete - I posted before I read your reply - well said.

[Dan85]

sorry guys no matter whether it was intended to be porn or not it still comes across as it. dirty kiddy fidlers will still use it as porn under the guise of art so really it makes no difference of its intention but more of its actual use. a man who points a gun at someone but intends to not shoot them and the gun unintentionally goes off its still manslaughter or murder and the person still ends up dead

While you're at it, ban the Kmart catalogue too I hear the kiddy fiddlers love it.

[Dan85]

probably do but the kids arent naked in the kmart catalogue and if they are then it shouldnt be out there. im not saying the "artist" intention was to make it pornographic but i sure as hell dont think he should have done it. how many hits on his website do you reckon would have been legitimate art admirers once the word got round a 12 year old had her kit off? children need to be protected. and possibly the artists intentions were innocent but what would happen to a known child molester if photos of a naked 12 year old were found in his posession whether they were your typical porn style pics or "artistic" what would we have said about him? what would be done to him? children and public nudity in the form of photographs etc should be and is illegal.

[BUSGO]

Very controversial situation.
I agree with those that don't tolerate child pornography.
I agree with those that think that naked human bodies are artistic.
I agree that underage children should not be used for any pornographic material.
I agree that pornographic material is extremely popular in the modern Australian culture.
I agree that child mollestors are the scum of the earth and should be treated as such.

I don't agree that every photograph of a naked child is pornographic, especially if they are not posed in a provocative manner.
I don't agree that children used in advertisement for clothes or products are being mollested.

BUT it appears that due to the intollerance of some and the depravity of some others, that the call has now gone out for the banning of advertisements of products that feature images of young children.

What is the world coming to?

I could write a book on this subject, but I'm not.
