This is absolutely ridiculous. There is a LOT of filth on this site that is tossed around on a frequent basis that is EASILY more objectionable than the likeness of a cartoon bear. To ban sexually explicit images in the WL is somewhat understandable, but to ban a cartoon of an animal that suggests a sexual connotation is absolutely absurd.

Mike, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I highly doubt any sponsor has objected to his cell-shaded likeness. Furthermore, I haven't seen anyone complain on the board either. That leaves personal qualms as the likely culprit here, which I think is nowhere near a valid reason to ban a cartoon. Hell, even if someone had complained, this is the WHORESLOUNGE, where anything is supposed to go.... ANYTHING, that is, except for cartoon animals. God forbid.

If someone had suggested yesterday that IA was planning on banning a cartoon bear, I probably would have laughed and explained that surely they aren't that ridiculous. Seems I was wrong. Sure, nobody's gonna up and leave for some ridiculous reason like this, but its censorship, and it will lead to more... and people don't like it. Nobody's making us stay here, I know, but if you really want to sacrifice your loyal user base at the expense of becoming the morality police, I guess you should just continue doing this.

Oh well... at least we still have the rest of the gang.
