Why do so many demos have porn in them? I've been wondering, because
great demos can't be used for display purposes in the general public (due
to offending people).

I was extremely impressed with the demo until that part came up, which
mean many people I know I can't show it to.

Quite simple.

Humans are sexual beasts [don't we all know that :)]... whenever
something that has something to do with reproduction appears, it is
immediately popular.

Try to explain the phenomenal success of "Playboy" differently.

So, demo groups put porn in their routines to show off the graphics
artist abilities [Stars/Nooon and the impossible woman :)], and
generally gain more support. [I have seen 3 demos already, not
counting this one, with porn someplace in the middle, and another 5
with no porn, but pictures of women.

Not that I have anything against it.. I don't, except when they're
just put on-screen like the art of a graphics artist, and not when
something is done with them.]

>I was extremely impressed with the demo until that part came up, which

>mean many people I know I can't show it to.

Which of course sucks. It depends on what the "porn" is, though.

Simple nudity: this ain't porn, this is ART! Why the hell do you think
whats-his-name made a naked statue of a guy and called it David?
Anything beyond: uhh, ok, this belongs in Hustler...

However, I think porn in demos should be restricted to drawings by
graphics artists [think of how incredibly tough it is to mimic proper
flesh tones in 256 colors], and then it should at least look like art,
and not weird.

[People in .nl and other places may start arguing with me on that
part, but I'm brought up with different values, and this is more
liberal than my parents :)]

PORN???? WHERE??? I have seen the demo *MANY MANY MANY* times during debugging
the shit, but I *NEVER* saw any porn... have you discovered some hidden part
or something?


>I was extremely impressed with the demo until that part came up, which
>mean many people I know I can't show it to.


why not? the demo contains NOTHING else than real art, and hard work of
coders, musicians and graphicians...

com'on, you really call the "spacetits" picture PORN??
it's just beautiful art, containing hours of work of Danny.
or are those people affraid of some tattoos or something?

I'd say you can't show them the chopped wasp coz' of
extreme violence, rather than the two tatooed women.

Porn??

You call Danny's picture porn??

Please... There is a distinct difference between art and porn, and
this picture is most certainly not porn. Ok, maybe in some countries
it could be censored because it shows breasts or something like that,
but please... This is not even close to porn.

The second picture most definitely wasn't porn. The first? Well, I've
seen plenty of fashion magazines (usually cologne or perfume ads) that
have been far, far worse.

I wouldn't call the first one porn at all, although there is a definite
sensual nature to it; I probably wouldn't classify it as art, either. I
don't see the big hang-up that Americans have about female breasts, and
why seeing a women's breasts are pornographic while seeing a man's
breasts are not.

The pictures aren't the most notable part of the demo, though. That
honor goes to the ending. Whoa! ROTFLMAO! I thought it was just
another picture...I wasn't expecting THAT. LOL, ROTFL, ROTFLMAO, :), and
just plain BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!!!! Very funny.

Yeah demos should have a /RATED and /UNRATED commandline switch or something.

Although I didn't mind this picture, since it is cool, but its not like I
show these demos to my parents or anyone. Most people, (my friends at
least) who watch demos don't really mind a littly nudity here and there...

I think a big hang-up people have with female breasts is that they
are sensuous. Someone would kill me if they knew I posted this:

" Perhaps that's why I'm so much into drawing... I'm a visual guy. :) ( that
might also explain why I like big tits, they are solely a visual stimulus,
hm? :) ) *slap* Oh, now I was being rude. Sorry."
- Anonymous (? - if you know, don't tell, please!)

Men's breasts... that's another story. Threesome, which I will
claim now is the demo group that has dated the most men (7 and going
strong), has considered twisting the trend in many demos to use senuous
images of women to provide appeal to a demo and use men instead. We
relized that when the point in adding images of people is solely to add
appeal to a demo that it is pornagraphic.

There's allways someone offended... D'you really think people are going to
think about every thing they code to make sure it doesn't offend someone?? Man,
that picuture won the TP5 Gfx Compo!!! And that's no porn... is playboy also
porn?? no way...

> I was extremely impressed with the demo until that part came up, which

They should be more open minded. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it
man!?! Just two girls showing their tits? Demos are made for the fun of it! If
I or Logic Design happen to like tits, what is wrong with it?? it doesn't hurt
anyone now does it?

is TV also a forbidden object for you? I wonder....

Do you actually KNOW what pornography is??? Nudism is NOT
poronography, and besides: this is ART and not photography nor
pornography...

Playboy contains beautiful ART photographs of beutiful people (in this
case women, ;-) ).. Somebody like p.e. David Hamilton took loads of
photographs of nude teenage girls, these are all very beautiful
photographs, and they are NOT childporn!

Jeezes, to what kind 'a prudes are you showing that to? You don't
have a TV? There's loads more of your pornography upthere!

I take back my naming it of 'pornography' and should have called it
'nudity'. Sorry.

It is illegal for minors to have Playboy in the U.S., so why should
demos be considered different? If I showed the demo to minors, I would
be breaking the law. (if the law did extend to demos).

Ouaip, les americains sont tellement coinces qu'ils peuvent meme pas voir une
meuf a poil sans crier au scandale... (et apres ca ils noient le marche avec
leurs films hollywoodiens qui comptent plus de chattes que de repliques
intelligentes. JE VEUX DES FILMS FRANCAIS! Evidemment, en Norvege, je suis un
peu mal place pour voir des films francais... Merde... Faut que je fasse un
tour a Paris un de ces jours...)

And for all you people out there who weren't paying attention in French
class, what I wrote boils down to 'yeah, americans are so uptight...'

The demos you are watching are a product of hard work. People create things
THEY like. And a demo is a thing in which every part has it's place. Take some
parts out and it sucks. Tomorrow we can't use high speed gfx anymore, because
some ppl might faint seeing them. or doom parts are out of the question because
someone gets motion-sickness, and throws up every time he sees a demo.

We create what we like. If you don't don't download them. I don't care.

Isn't every graphical picture in any demo inserted to add appeal? Or does
appeal _just_ mean sex-appeal??

But then again, why not give the public what it wants?

there's a party, you are a minor, yet, you were invited to that party. at
this particular party 'majors' are present. it's is very easy to get booze
through these guys. although you are not allowed to do so, you join these
people who can supply you alcoholic baveridges. the same thing with nude
magazines. i bet every or at least the majority of the 'minor' population has
seen a playboy. even in the us of a.

logic design has put a lot of effort into their demo. labeling it as vulgar
pornography is really disrespectful don't you think so?

demos are international. an american coder would think twice.

imho we can drop this thread. fashion by logic design is a fine demo which
contains nudity, but you must NOT forget that it's art and not a magazine on
which you can toss off.

ehrm.. well.. personally i think it fitted stylistically with the rest of
the demo.. and.. well.. who wants to see a great demo used for "display
purposes"? I'm sick of seeing second reality at computer shows.. perhaps
more of your "porn" in these demos would keep the scene and commercial
dumbasses separate :)

well.. art is art.. the same people who you couldn't show the demo to are
probably the types who can't see half of the best movies out there
because of such "moral" concerns..

it would be interesting if an american group created a demo about drug
dealing and gang shootings... europe is wisely less permissive when it
comes to violence, similar to our nation's hangup with sensuality (minus
the wisely part of course)

interesting to see the cultural contrast here.

I don't understand your point...What's wrong with that?
Do you think it's sometime good to show them what you
got interest in sometime? My Dad's job once a time
was programmer and he really likes to see some
"on the edge" demos sometime.. We look at the eye
of our familly like "Geek" enough like this..
(he.. we stay hours in front of screen with strange
english words and sometime we do jumps all over the
place screaming "It works! It works!" ;)

But i don't know your parents personnaly so maybe
they won't like them etc but you can generalize
to everybody imho...

Je ne parle bien francais. I'll reply in English... Americans do have a
problem... Everything is so restricted. Big brother syndrome. But, why
in Germany can minors drink and why in Amsterdam is cannibis legal? It's
the country's traditions. For a country trying to escape totalarianism
such as the old English kingdoms, there sure seems to be a lot of it
going on.

Demos are European in origin, so I suppose certain elements are bound to
exist. I shouldn't have questioned people's own morals & beliefs:
Everybody's are different.

<something> without a cry of scandal...(and after that they will

do not mean to be unkind...but I think that you american
people sometimes exaggerate just a little bit.

for me it is worse to watch all these violence in your films
than to see a nude woman which does not impresse me at all
(logically ;) )

I'm actually showing demos to my parents. It might have something to do
with the fact that my dad has been working with computers since forever,
but still. Many adults think it's great, no shit. 45 years old, 12 years
old, whats the difference? Age doesn't have to change your view on art.

About this RATED/UNRATED debate, I think anyone who lives in a society
where he cannot show others a demo because of a handdrawn woman showing
her tits, should stick to sunday school and prayers, and drop everything
else. The bottom line is, I'd have to say, that anyone, being american
or not, who cannot accept the fact that women has breast and that we, males,
actually like to look at it, should get a life, instead of wasting everyones
time.

hmm.. I've even shown a demo to my grandfather (who is 76 years old).. ;-P
What he thought of it? oh, well.. One thing is that he "didn't understand
what was on the screen" and he also said that the music wasn't quite his
favorite style (atleast most of it wasn't.. he quite liked that symphonic
part).. ;)

ok. that demo I showed didn't include any naked breasts or anything.. But I
don't think I would have _censored_ it from him if it had.. I'm quite sure he has seen such
things before ;) .. (but I wouldn't have shown him, say, some hard/soft porn or
anything (at all) like that)..

You know what, Rene, for the first time in my life I agree with you
totally and completely.

I think even my parents would agree with you.

I wouldn't take your comments a step further, nor would I ease up on
them. It's really just as simple as you say.

Personally, I thought the picture was the single finest bit of artwork
I've seen in a demo to date. It was clearly done by hand on a computer,
and not merely scanned in. I think anyone who can appreciate art can
appreciate it.

Pagefault--go ahead and show the demo to your parents or whoever you
think wouldn't like the picture. I think they may surprise you with a
much more mature reaction than you're expecting.

Actually, with the exception of the unbelievable artwork (and the
hilarious ending), I thought this was a totally unextraordinary demo...

I don't think I could have said that better myself...

just as a footnote, we have a local public access station which was
censored a few months back for showing breasts and such on the air. For
those of you who don't know what public access television is, it basically
allows any joe to have a television show...you have to take a small class
to learn how to operate the equipment and such, but after that, you can
basically do what you want. Anyone from a bible-thumper to a Klansman can
have a show, and this includes showing female breasts. The whole channel
was cut off because some people in the area complained to the County.
Well, it obviously went to court and the producers of the shows won. It's
that thing we have over here called free speech. The courts basically
told those who didn't like to turn the channel.

So, to sum it up, if you don't like what I have to say, don't listen...

Yeah, thats one demo I would watch just for the artwork. (Danny rules)
That "Spacetits" is amazing-- "even better than the real thing". I hope
when aliens conquer the world, they come in the form of women who look like
that... but i digress.

All in all FASHION is good, although you're right, not extraordinary...
Its definitely a keeper in my collection however.

For amazing effects, check out LATEX by Blank. I don't know how the sound is
since i only got GUS 512k, but the effects are cutting edge. God I hate
watching demos without sound! (Blank-please provide support for us lame
GUS 512kers!)

at ftp.cdrom.com /pub/demos/incoming/demos/255latex.zip I think.

Oh yeah?

May I ask you a personal question?

Does your girlfriend often wrap herself in her blankets after the act to hide
her torso, lest a third party suddenly materialize in the room and see her
naked?

Have you ever noticed that that is exactly what women in 99% of Hollywood
movies do?

Now wouldn't you call 'uptight' people who are afraid of seeing women's
breasts on their TV screen?

I know I did.. "female cats" =)

Of course, it was a mispost, I intended to ask my little brother [who
is currently taking French, I have NOT taken it for 7 yearrs :)] about
it.

Maybe it was a good thing I didn't. I can see several meanings for
that. :)

I don't have a girlfriend.

OKOK.. I get your point.

Lemme rephrase that. "Just the people who want to stop their kids from
seeing porn by banning free speech."

Now, if you say I should cut out the "banning free speech" bit, I
won't, and that's because that is EXACTLY what they are doing.

Hey... why do you say "the act" and not "sex"? :)

I agree. That was the most wonderful artwork (by Danni) I have ever seen on a

Hehe... My sister's French teacher once had the misfortune of choosing as a

I'm not saying you should, either... I just meant that it's not just about
the net... It's everywhere...

What I wrote in French was "Yep, Americans are so uptight they can't even see
a naked broad without a cry of scandal... (and after that they flood the
market with Hollywood films featuring more pussy than intelligent lines. I
WANT FRENCH FILMS! Evidently, in Norway, I'm not in the right spot to see
French films... Shit... Should make a hop to Paris one of these days...)"

Most of that was slang, which explains your trouble with the translation :)

Youch :) Over here, you mention so much as "puss" and people look at
you in a very shocked way.

Wonder what happened to the days when cats were called pussycats? :)

Indeed it is. Clamping down on my being like a vise holding onto a
can. Slowly compressing inward and outward, until finally the two
halves separate to form new territories.

Oh, wait. I must be confused. :)

I'm not, and so that's not a valid reason anymore. =)

I've already been sent a flame in a very interesting manner (form
letter - X out the relevant parts) instructing me never to post again.
After having cleaned a virus off the system, I think it's been long
enough. Still, it's not in the interests of some people to idly chat,
