<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 2994232, member: 84744&quot;]Aw shucks, thank you (though realize that we Canucks have to pass an exam in this)... but [USER=19615]@Volodya[/USER] is right that I didn&#039;t address the sexual violence aspect of his comments at all.&nbsp; Phil, I avoid coins that depict sexual violence, and sometimes feel rather uncomfortable about some comments made about these coins.&nbsp; But am I right to suppose that this is less an issue about any double-standard, and more a question about how depictions of sexual violence should be handled in the forum?&nbsp; It&#039;s a good question to raise, and I don&#039;t know the answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>To clarify, you ask why depictions of sexual violence are OK but depictions of consensual sex are not.&nbsp; If I&#039;m right the latter are often regarded as OK by the mods so long as they don&#039;t cross a line of explicitness, then that&#039;s not quite the right way to ask the question.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that the coin is unclear, and the original complaint may have been discriminatory in part (I don&#039;t know).&nbsp; I just hope &amp; believe that the mods&#039; response wasn&#039;t, which is the more important thing.&nbsp; There was a less explicit spintria in a recent Berk auction that I found very interesting because it clearly depicted a homosexual act.&nbsp; I wonder how it would have been handled here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
