Pornographic Avatars

[Godzilla 2000]

Damn I want gonna find you an oil up stuf animated gif

Whatever floats your boat, watsy.

But maybe you oughta take this to a gay forum. You wont have any of this silly Godzilla discussion to cloud your view then.

I like some of the boob avatars. Others not so much. But as long as the site's owner/moderation team is okay with it, I'm not going to try to tell anyone else what to put as their avatar. The pony avatars bug me more than the boob ones, but, again, a live and let live kinda attitude works pretty well.

[TokyoVigilante]

All these boob avatars make we want to do is to masturbate.

I don't think they're particularly tasteful. But that's not the point, the avatars aren't displaying anything that is broadly considered derogatory or offensive. They aren't swastikas or Klan insignias, they're skreeonk breasts for goodness sake. They're just an element of the human body. Attractive human bodies at that.

What I'm saying is, SG2010 makes me all sorts of worked up and I don't come here that often for that exact reason.

All I know is that if I hung out on a forum with a bunch of chicks who had avatars of big, muscular guys flexing or some shit like that, I'd feel uncomfortable. =/

But hey, women are objects, so its cool for us to do that, am I right fellas?

This is the world we live in.


Women are viewed as the beauty, and for the most part, (and definitely in our society) always have been.
Doesn't mean they're viewed as objects. Just means it's more socially acceptable to have a pair of nice tits on a commercial than a shirtless dude. Seems as though the norms are evening out (what with Twilight and what not) but until then I wouldn't worry about it.

Chicks (unless you're some bald feminist) usually are okay with em.

What I don't get is why don't they save avatars like that for other forums that would not have any problem with it and just shrug it off? Surely everyone visits more then just this one forum. I'm not really offended by them (since I've seen far more offensive shock images on other sites) but I can see how others would be and it does get annoying when I'm scrolling down a page and my niece glances at my laptop and yells "grandma! Uncle LC is looking at porn".

[Stuckey]

Should I just get rid of avatars? Everyone seems to have such problems with them. No matter what they are.

[Berzerkgodzilla]

I really don't think they would need to be gotten rid of, unless their extremely offensive or sexual

[cloverfan98]

To my understanding, pornographic images & videos are forbidden on the forum (which I fully agree with). However, lately I have seen users with avatars that are definitely pornographic (e.g. Yaburu, Spirit Ghidorah). Is this not contradictory and hypocritical, especially for a moderator??

I really agree with you. I'm not trying to start a flame war but seriously people can we please get rid of these pornographic avatars? I

skreeonk called it. Though it was more just avatar bandwagon jumping in general.

Subject: TK's Official Whine Thread

You know if the bandwagon jumping and bitching keeps up I wouldn't be surprised if Anthony considers just out right banning them like sigs.

Stukey would mine count as pornograhic? I mean it's too far away to see anything and it's not really being shown in a sexual way but more of a horror movie type of way (and how! 23 kills in the first 5 minutes!), hence the pool blood in the left corner?

If you touch my Boltie, I'll raise hell.

I don't really have a problem with boobs plastered all over the place. But that just goes to show you how indifferent I am to adolecent minds. I do like boobies, though.

There's really no harm in them. Most of this argument seems to be takin offense for the sake of taking offense. But then again, if I don't want to look at something, I just don't skreeonk look at it.

[Superrex]

Getting rid of the avatars isn't needed.Only the boob avatars should be taken off.
I'm getting tired of getting a boner when I'm looking at a Godzilla related topic and SG or yabs post in it.Thats not what I-and everybody else here-came here for.

They are allowed by the rules, besides they're not pornographic, they're just really good avatars.

[Legion1979]

I'm not offended by them. Random pictures of tits on the internet don't turn me on. I can get laid whenever I want.

But I still don't like these avatars. There's something incredibly juvenile about them almost in a "Check it, dawg. Pictures of tits on a family-friendly message board. I'm hardcore" sort of way.

First of all, they are pornographic. They don't have to show the full set of breasts in order to be considered pornography. Second, they aren't allowed by the rules. It's just that no one has ever really complained about it until now, so there were never any problems.

[Berzerkgodzilla]

Pornographic is any media that suggests sexual arousal or that stimulates sexual arousal.

Then if say, Gawdziller's avatar gets me aroused, then it's porn? I find that definition quite wrong. I think it's dumb to target avatars like Yab's. She's clothed, no nips in site, (I don't really consider porn at all) Especially if I could go to a beach and see the same damn thing

[Legion1979]

No one complained because for a long time there was just one or two and easy enough to ignore. Then suddenly everyone thought making moving boob avatars would be badass. Or something.

[Shadow]

@GXG:Okay, sorry my mistake. I understand why it annoys some people, but my last part was just a little humor.

[Stuckey]

Who actually has boob avatars right now besides yaburu and Spirit? My phone doesn't show GIFs so I can't see any moving avatars.

[Legion1979]

Not seeing as much as I used to, actually.

[Gawdziller]

I'm just going to say this once. GxG's avatar arouses me. The look of pure sexual thrust in that man's eyes is just too much for me to handle.

Please ask him to remove it.
