Back about a year ago, right after the last Oprano ownership change, some site owner or content provider posted some samples on the board. I looked at the samples and my only reaction was that they look like they were 12 years old.
I had been increasingly growing tired with seeing younger and younger looking content being pushed because as far as I'm concerned there is only one type of customer that enjoys that kind of content. If the industry caters to that type of customer there is no way they can honestly profess to want to get rid of cp, they are feeding the addiction that only creates an appetite for more.
I was ready to say something but I didn't because several people posted about what great content it was and I was not in the mood to get beat up that day.
Many times since I have been ready to speak my mind but since most of the industry seemed in favor of that type of content I kept my mouth shut rather than take on that type of fight.
With all the reaction going on right now, many people are voicing their negative opinions of anything that looks like cp. Those that are of the mind that if it's legal, I'll use it are also speaking their mind.
This is of itself an excellent dialog getting started and it needs to continue no matter what the outcome of the whole directnic/slick thing.
Just imho of course.

There's a small percentage of people in this industry who really could give a rat's ass about "right and wrong". It's not that they do not know the difference, it's that they are blinded by a quick dollar and do not care.
They will make their business decisions based upon what makes the most money for the least effort in the shortest period of time that they can get away with. If they thought they could make a bundle by posting 14 year olds and get away with it, some would. Dont believe it? Do a little digging on some of the keywords, domain names and such some of these guys use to grab traffic. You start stringing together "lolita", "pre-teen", "nude", etc together I dont care what you say your marketing is targeting pedo's. Period.
I agree with Steve, it's all about context. I know the difference between what looks like a "hot babe" and a "little girl" when I see it. And in that 18 year old range that line can get blurred very quickly.
Going all the way back to the late 80's I've always judged suitability of content and whether I'd post it based upon what you'll hear us call "the pig tail factor" in FFN terminology. I dont care if she's 21, if you shoot the set in a kid-sized bed, the model has her hair in pig tails, and she's sucking on a lollipop, I dont want it. Why? Again, you're not marketing to normal healthy adult libidos, you're going after a pedo.
Now that's not to say every pic of a girl in pig tails is going after pedo's. Again, it's context, and I think we all know "fucked up" when we see it.
