Oh I understand the PR reasons. But given the importance of sex as a motivating factor in art (not least if you want to count the entire activity as a variety of reproductive signaling) I am very troubled by the notion of making a tool which restricts the scope of acceptable subject matter.
I know this is just an experiment right now but I want to put sex/nudity on the table as a subject of debate because it is central to artistic endeavor because arbitrary standards can become almost universal and institutionalized through path dependence (such as the QWERTY keyboard you are probably using right now). Imagine a not-too-distant future with a Magic Brush that easily allows you to paint the colors and shapes of your choice with the aid of some technological wizardry, but prevents the creation of nude or sexualized figures. That would not be a healthy development.
