Dill It's not the "arty crowd" that see pubescent children as fair game for exploitation, it's the marketing/advertising people who invent a new target market for products. Training bras for 5 year olds, Barbie dolls with an exagerated figure, Bratz dolls, sexy clothing "just like Britany Spears", etc etc. As a consequence we are all being conditioned to see children in the same light as adults are portrayed, especially females.
If you want to vent your ire do it in the direction of the marketing moguls who are robbing little kids of their childhood, not at the arts who have a different perception of beauty than you do. There is nothing wrong with the human body as such, but there is something wrong with the way we are being conditioned to view it.
