Topic: Udders: Explicit or not?

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The clash between human sensibilities and animal attributes has finally come to the last straw for me.

I'm not gonna profess whether I like or dislike cowgirls, but the inconsistency with which they garner ratings confuses me. Though nipples apparently only construe a "questionable" rating as long as there are no genitalia shown, udders, essentially a different type of breast and nipple, recieve an "explicit" rating on pictures that would normally be quite tame. And still, extremely suggestive nude shots with udders present only gain "questionable" ratings.

So what's the deal? Can we reach a consensus of what they require in caution's terms?

I'd say if you can see udders but not genitalia, it's questionable.

Breasts are a questionable subject by american standards, but we let our kids pet naked cows and even milk them, so why at all would udders be anything but safe? How would this thought even come up?

I think if the udders are suggestive then they should be questionable. If they are just on the bottom of a regular cow, then safe.

Udders, as viewed by humans, are nonsexual organs and are not normally treated in a sexual manner, with us furries being the exception. I don't think udders should be related to breasts or nipples as they do not have the same appearance and are viewed differently. Therefore, the depiction of udders would indicate a safe rating, unless shown in a seductive or sexual manner, which would indicate a questionable rating, or shown in an image with other expilicit material (sex, penis, vagina), which would indicate an explicit rating.

This is stupid really. Udders are never and will not be, explicit. We see them in TV, we see shows, cartoons, heck some of us of 99.999999% of the community seen a cow with udders.

I think it depends on the ... mood of the image. "aaaaauuuhn.. my udders are throbbing" is totalyl differnet then.. post #204456 or post #197462 for the most part, if they're being regarded as a sexualized organ, I'd regard them as breasts with multiple nipples, for all that entails. where as for one like the second there with the little cow on the fense... well, not sexual, not questionable.

but, hm. I don't know. I'm kind torn on it.

I think we should categorize it as 'questionable' if it's being portrayed in a sexual manner, i.e. the manner above. Else, I'd put it down as 'safe'. It's udderly flawless.

Nngh don't hit me
