    It also seems to be a demonstration of the futility of portrait restrictions, when something like this is allowed but OP's portrait isn't. I seem to recall seeing that one pretty early on, maybe before the restrictions were enacted, but I bet it still probably works today.

    The point was that their attempt to play it off as "oh well they're just suggesting the act so it doesn't count," as if there's any other way to interpret a dude clearly designed to be jerking off, is disingenuous.

    It was from before they dropped the hammer. Portraits like that are why OP is now dealing with a difficult system.

    Ah yes, the puritan accusation and whataboutism. Indeed, anyone who doesn't jump for joy at terminally horny people shoving their unhinged behavior in everyone's face, in a game rated for 13-year-olds and up, must be a puritan.

    Anyone with a functioning frontal lobe can understand the difference. Either you're making excuses to justify your own unsavory behavior to yourself or the concept is actually beyond you. Either way, I don't see much point in continuing this circular discussion on a settled matter. The lewd portraits are banned, and rightfully so.

    Lol you keep clutching those pearls sweetheart. All you want to do is shout down anyone opposed to your view and make assumptions and cast aspertions. Good discussion.
