If you take incest as example, we all know what it means, but that does not mean that the "incest" website really practising it? Its acting. So is it bad then? Well, that's up to the community; cc companies, billing processors, forums etc. Another example is hacking. First in mind is something illegal, but the origin word has nothing to do with illegal actions.
So, I'm not confused. Just curious about future policy  |
No you're simply wrong on most points and as confused as ever. Also re-read my above posts as the whole thing about some companies not liking the word teen is not new and nothing is different than it was 3-4 years ago.
Lolita always has been a word used to describe or infer that a model is underaged. It remains nothing to do with 20+ year olds. Teen has not - even to those 'not in the business'. To say otherwise shows a HUGE lack of understanding of the business and of the origins of the word no matter how much you run off and Google it afterwards.
WTF though - pointless argument. As I say it's nothing new and your confusion and drivel is nothing that hasn't been posted by those new to the business for many years now
I'll leave you to carry on worrying over old threats that are no nearer affecting us now than they were 4 years ago.
