She's naked in a few 12 singles PVs, right?

Oh well, whatever. Who really cares, right?

:roflmao I have to see that.

LOL, show the avi to me.


You didn't see anything fun, if you mean that.

I'm speaking in defense of fanmail's sig as well, because honestly, I think people are being quite prudish. I don't think she's being oertly sexual in it, and there is nothing you can actually see. It is suggestive, sure, but you don't actually see her entire ass. It's like the cover to LOVEppears: nothing can actually be seen fully, but part of her breasts can be seen and that isn't considered by the staff to be offensive.

The LOVEppears cover can't even be compared to that. Ayu at least is wearing jeans, and the hair covering her breasts isn't really any different from wearing a bikini there, both have a simillar effect even though you can deduce ayu's topless. Koda is completely naked on that picture - and you can see far more breast and butt crack than you can see in LOVEppears / Mirrorcle World / UNITE! / RAINBOW. It's my personal opinion what I'll say now but, in LOVEppears ayu looks more like a fashion model, in that ku''s picture she looks more like she's promoting porn.

Also, if such a signature like that is accepted, it's not long before some members will bring avatars with naked porn actors touching their crotches with pictures cut a few milimiters before we can see their genitals (some even showing pubic hair), trying to stretch the staff tolerance as much as they can. I'm speaking from experience, because this has truly happened here. It's just what many, and I'm not kidding, initiates have done in the past, started with something mildly risque and progressed to worse and worse pictures, and even created threads whining about the the staff's decision when we had to pm them and remove their ava/sigs.

I was thinking about posting examples here, but i decided to remove them, because I think it's unnecessary to explain further :laugh

Points well-taken. I know exactly the thread you are referring to (obviously an entirely different one from the one in the third paragraph) and I can see why this current debate would lead you to feel the way you do about it. I can't say that I disagree with you, all things considered.

Oh well, signature finally removed (compulsorily) for good :)

Well, that's not fair. The LOVEppears or Mirrorcle World covers are just as suggestive. You can't even SEE anything on that Koda picture.

Wow, an outline.

*shock! horror! call the cops for indecent exposure!!*

It's not like she was opening her crack to us. :rolleyes

Besides, I'm sure the members here have seen worse than the outline of a body. Ugh.

So hair is similar to a bikini top? Is that any hair or will hair that I think is similar to a bikini bottom get me in trouble? :innocent

I think the sig is pretty inappropriate because you can basically see an entire side of her body. Ayu at least covers most of her body on the LOVEppears cover, whether she does it with clothes or with her hair. Kumi is essentially exposing one of her butt cheeks and most of her body.

For real...LOVEppears cover does not scream porn in it. That's my point. I'm not saying hair equals bikini, but in the LOVeppears cover, the hair is covering her boobs very well. You can obviously cross a line and realize ayu's cover doesn't have the direct intention of highlighting her sexual features. That koda picture on the other hand is totally the opposite even though they try to cover it a bit.

Just report the things you find inappropriate. Period.

None of the ayu sets i've seem "floating around" are anywhere as over the gray zone as that kuu picture is.

We have a lot of whiners here. If the staff asks you to change your signature, something VERY simple to do, you should just comply. The initiates here don't get to interpret rules to their own liking.

I can't believe a picture is causing this much wank from both sides :dead2

I don't know if you read this thread or not, but that's not what it was originally about.. :no

Maybe he just meant it as a general truth, since it's generally true.

Oh, well maybe. But it just sounded like it was directed at me. :P

Well, you were asked to remove your sig, and you didn't...

It is a general truth. It probably was directed at you. Next time just remove it.

As in regards to what is allowed and what isn't, the mods obviously discuss these things, and when they decide something is inappropriate, it's inappropriate and that's it.

It isn't really a big deal. If someone has THAT big a problem with not being allowed to show certain pictures, then they can leave and post them somewhere else.

Whether or not the staff or the user finds the picture offensive, someone did and reported it. It's as simple as that; someone was offended, whether you were or not.

And there are plenty of other pictures out there, seriously.

I'm pretty sure that Kanariya making-of clip is just people imagining seeing something there because of the video quality, I don't think official video like that would get past the screeners or whatever when they're producing it.

I personally don't think any of koda kumi's or other j-pop singers photoshoots or whatever are too risque for AHS in the appropriate place, but people should take into consideration what they put in their sigs because some people don't want to see that & that's ok.
if you see an Ayu sig that you feel is inappropriate, feel free to report it.

and IMO LOVEppears cover is not sexy or suggestive, nudity does not always equal sexy.
