Please see my announcement in the blog listing for yesterday.
This Blogger vendor is censoring the photos that are displayed on this blog site. It appears if the photo has a penis or includes sexual scenes then the photo is censored.
In today's blog listing, I am doing an experiment...I have included one photo in this set that has the penis displayed, although it is not erect and it is not involved in sexual activity. It is benign in every way. It simply depicts a gorgeous study of a male torso. If this should get censored by the Blogger vendor then you should all be enraged. We'll see what happens.
This photo contains nothing that any student in an art school or visitor to a local museum would see. Would a photo of a great Carravaggio painting that included a nude male figure be censored on this blog site? Why? If this photo below is censored, mind you a photo of a nude male torso with no sexual overtones, (gay or straight) then I may stop doing this blog altogether. It is outrageous that in the year 2011 any photo would censored, especially on a blog site that contains the necessary warnings that are either provided or are required by the Blogger vendor to protect underage individuals.
I strongly urge you to protest this...that is if they censor it. If they do censor it, one of the images below will contain a black rectangle box with a white bar in the middle. If the photo remains uncensored by the vendor then the line of demarkation appears to be photos that include an engorged penis or gay men in a sexual act. One of the photos that was censored in days past included a man holding his erect penis but you couldn't actually see the penis as it was in his hands, although the vendor might determine that this is depicting a sexual act even though no penis is displayed. You be the judge of what you feel is appropriate censorship. I feel that any censorship is inappropriate. But I do think that if a naked man, depicted with no sexual overtones, is considered to be censorable that I will no longer use this vendor and will suspend any future postings. Would they censor a painting by Carravaggio or Michaelangelo if it depicts either a nude male or female figure. Is this some radical lunatic Christian vendor?
Again, I do no benefit in any way from this blogsite. The effort it takes to upload photos, to hunt for photos is the only thing involved with maintaining this website. I do it to share with other individuals around the world beautiful men and their most beautiful attribute.
Thank you. My distinct apologies for even having to make this announcement. It is insane and utter rubbish. It is possible that even this announcement may provoke this nefarious vendor to end this blog. If that happens, thank you for your support of the last couple of years. It was fun. I hope you'll do all you can to let the blogger vendor know that you find this unfair and irrational censorship and to boycott this vendor in any way possible.
And enjoy today's collection which are mighty fetching specimen indeed!

GOOD luck!
Right, the censor struck again. Nevertheless, 10 out of 11 isn't bad. Indeed, all ten are terrific. Personal favorite is #6, the leather man, not for the leather as such, but for the fabulous fur on this man's excellent musculature. Can't see his face, of course, but assume that it's at least as good as 3, 4, 7 or 10, all of whom are very handsome in that dept.
ReplyDeletethere are a lot more sites that have had some pics with that symbol but on the same post there are pics of sex and cum shots that are not being blocked, so I don't think it is sensorship happening. Take a valium.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous...I don't know if you are talking about this site but censorship is occurring. They haven't retroactively gone and censored all blogs. They just started censoring one day and now each of the daily blog listings for the day are censored with the black box if there is a penis or sexual activity. This entry had nothing but a male torso, with penis but not erect, and it was censored.
ReplyDeleteHappy trail hunting to you
