I have never, NEVER even heard of such problems. I think it is a shame when healthy people have to live their lives and make their art according to the fears or fetishes of others. If we try to not offend anyone we will have to stop painting. Some people find art that sells offensive for example. Some people find realism offensive. Some people think that you should only paint your own race-to do otherwise is exploitation.
Where does it end? There was a letter to the editor in Art of the West about 2 years ago in which a lady said she was going to cancel her subscription because they had printed a nude. (This is a very modest and traditional publication) The number of replies to her letter was the greatest they ever had received. All were in suppport of the magazine. Most said what about 3 thousand years of art? Most said what about half the catholic churches and all the museums around the world?
