Death note 11"X17" poster.
CG - Painter.

Before you scream and say :" OMG!!! YAOI!! GAY AND SEXUAL!!" , I have to clarify that this is not yaoi , this is not intented to be yaoi and it doesn't contain any sexual content. I am not against yaoi but I personally won't do it to characters that I like or care about.
I can understand why people would view it as shounen ai/BL(romance relationship), but please do not say "it contains sexual content." ^_^"

The message behide the picture is this, Light won, he got L , so it's kind of like :" HA! I got you! Oh poor you ...See how pity you are?" and L's hanging there to be one of Light's victim specimen instead of :"I am going to go thru all the trouble to move the skulls , lower you down , and f you in the butt then put you back up again."

Now why is L nude.. You normally won't put cloths on specimens(plants, animal) unless you want to show the culture , and I think L's plain white T-shirt and jeans don't look very good in this picture.

I went over to my cousin's house yesterday, there were 3 of us , and we had this conversation.
One of the cousin brought up this picture as a topic, and she said :"I don't get why people can see it as sexual yaoi, I mean, everything is so dark." Cousin 2 replied:" Maybe people mistaken it as bondage." Cousin 1 immediately replied, loudly :"WITH SKULLS???"
I laughed, and said :"Ya.. I know ai...the whole atmosphere is so dark, and look at L's experssion , so dead and dull but yet people still think those things, as soon as they see nudity."

I mean.. it doesn't even make sense if you look and think abit deeper.. why would L have such a lifeless experssion if something is screwing him? Why would L be at such a high position and that he's covered up with skulls if Light's purpose is to hang L there to have sex with him? Or do you seriously think a skull is inside's his butt or a skull is sucking his thing?
And look at the setting, it should be dark way more than sexual.

In order for this picture to "contain" sexual content, L and Light will have to be doing something "sexual", which they aren't, or that you should be able to obviously tell a skull is sucking L's xxx or screwing him, which there is no sign of... The picture just doesn't "contain" these things. You will have to have a dirty mind to begin with if that's all you can think of.

While I can understand why people can see BxB/Boy's love/romance relationship in this picture, saying that this picture "contains" sexual content is pretty silly and is totally false in my opinion.

Why did I type all these up? Because an Anime North staff once told me that this "contains" -sexual- yaoiness and I need to cover up L's chest and legs before I can display the art.
Yes, cover a guy's chest and legs *scratches head*. If covering the private part is not enough, covering his chest and legs won't change the content either, why not just ask me to take the whole thing down if she really thinks the content is so bad that she think covering the private part is not good enough?(which I did take the whole thing down because I thought covering the chest and legs is pretty silly and will make it look worse than it is, I mean.. look [link] What are you going to think after seeing it? Probably would think that L's dripping down there and that he's probably wearing nipple rings or something, right?) It really doesn't make sense.
If she said the setting's disturbing, I would accept, but pointing at the art and say "it contains sexual yaoiness" as a reason and that the guy's chest and legs should be covered, sorry, seems like none sense to me. (Especially when you see tons of half naked male cosplayer walking around.)

Now, before you think I am over reacting, let me put it this way. Let say, a writer who's against racist wrote a story that involves races, but it contains nothing that's racist, and someone came by, read his stuff, putting words and twisting the meaning of the story and say :"You are a racist. Your stuff is banned."
How do you think the writer will feel? Probably feel pretty offended, no?

I was so happy that someone actually got the message behide it the moment she looked at it. ^^
Thankyou!
I gave her the poster to thank her for not thinking yaoi and SM.

Once again, I understand why people can see the 'homoerotic' /shounen ai/BL(though I had no intention of that) thus that's not what I am concerned with, it's that when people think this picture contains "sexual content" that I am concerned with.


Edit: Wow , thankyou so so much for all the comments and favs!
Unfortunately, I am lazy, and I don't like chatting online, so I can't really reply to everyone of them.
But I do thankyou for viewing, commenting , and faving this image. Thankyou.

I like shonen-ai, but not the one that contains sex. Something more romantic. ^^

Holly crap... that was kind of my first reaction to this pic. It's kinda disturbing how L seems to be alive in a sea of corpses and aware of his failure...but the idea is something new, and quite catchy. In short, this is really good!
