I think it is the word "tasteful" that causes ire. Its message is somewhat suggestive that one person's taste is better or finer than another person's. There is a fear that one's intentions may be misunderstood and judged by someone who is unaware of those intentions. However, this forum is in general an exclusive forum and judgment is a major aspect to its existence. Exclusivity is - as much as overtly sexual imagery is - I think a product of human nature, and if it can be articulately and strongly defended, it can earn its right to exist.
