Hyena Cart sellers offer a variety of earth-, child-, and family-friendly items. These include cloth diapers, toys, slings, jewelry, clothing, soaps and a myriad of other items. Most items are handmade, but reselling of items is also fine. The only real criterion is that the items be family-friendly (no violent or adult-themed images, etc.). The earth-friendly part usually takes care of itself. Especially if you are handmaking your items, you are encouraging a deeper appreciation of the material items in our lives and discouraging the throwaway mentality that mass-made products engender.
I would call this "adult-themed" and not matter how "Artsy" it is it is nude or partially nude photos. Some people think pornography is art too but it doesn't belong here IMO. |
I second you!

I agree with this:

I would not let my children view these images, nor do I think they are family friendly.

Even the artist is calling several of the pics/tags nude. Nude photos are not family friendly.

Agree & Agree. Honestly I wouldn't care if my any of my kids (including my teen boy) or my husband saw these. Not sure what all the fuss is really about.
I think this is the only one that even raises my eyebrow... http://hyenacart.com/shehitpausestudios/mt/4363/60779/Large-format-polaroid-of-girl-in-gumballs-signed-

Yes, I would have to agree. It's not that I didn't like them I was just surprised seeing them on H/C.

I dont find these offensive but a few are objectifying and not family friendly IMO. I would say more than one are adult themed.

Ditto. I'm not offended by any of the photos or the descriptions, however, I was surprised to see them here on HC.
I would absolutely have expected to find them on Etsy, though.

I have to agree, I think the photos are artsy and while I don't find them at all 'offensive', I don't think it fits the 'family friendly' catagory either. Definitely more Etsy.

Oh I like the dream like quality - they are beautiful. But some are definitely "adult" material and I don't think appropriate for HC.

We've contacted the seller. We'll get it sorted out  Please understand that we can't just deactivate the store immediately without some dialog with the seller.

I don't understand why anyone would want you to deactivate the cart. I think the work is beautiful and it brings a whole new category of handmade to hyenacart when it's already in a transitional phase. A few of the images might not appeal to some and if there needs to be a discussion with the artist regarding which ones might not be best suited for HC, then I get that. I just think when HC is doing so much to try to maintain it's status in the market, getting a reputation for running off an artist might not be the best move. I hope the dialogue goes well.

I second this^^
Personally, I won't say whether the pictures are beautiful or offensive to me ... but shoo-ing an artist (with obvious talent) to Etsy seems a little counter-productive to changing the image of HC as more than just a bunch of moms selling cloth diapers ... just sayin'
ETA: it seems this store is already on Etsy, and has 100% positive feedback and lots of photos without "nudity" in them ... I just bought the cow on the beach for my granddad
