🔞 The "Should Facepunch Allow NSFW Material?" discussion arena.

[Mr. Scorpio]

i can't believe that poor, innocent garry is being bullied by these screaming degenerates

[Rusty100]

i mean thats a pretty good description of this userbase

[Mako]

sounds like a good workplace tbh

[Mr. Scorpio]

I've had jobs like that but they were all porn related so idk maybe not a representational sample

[PyroCF]

Subforum that has a obligatory 18 years of age check (no matter how simple) for legal reasons is a decent idea. Along with better guidelines for avatars/backgrounds.

[Laika]

how about something thats a bit more questionable legally, such as drug subforums/threads in the past? i know theyve definitely discussed far more than weed, probably acid or LSD or PCP and shit, hell some even talk about their dealers too iirc. why do we need to talk about drugs on this forum with that line of logic?

[LZTYBRN]

if you work in a creative environment this isn't far from the truth

[Rusty100]

i do though im literally a graphic designer at a creative agency and it is extremely far from reality

[Mr. Scorpio]

you should see some of the shit animators make, man

those people got problems

[SKS]

Look, it is him, the man that is aware of the behavior of the userbase! He speaks for the people!

[LZTYBRN]

Hollywood is a bit more lax about artists sharing their lewder art. Granted it doesnt happen exactly as you described (sharing porn around the water cooler) but a lot of high profile artists openly share more R-rated art

Chris Sanders (nsfw), the guy who directed lilo and stitch for example

[Loadingue2]

Don't forget about the most important aspect of daily life in a community: sharing memes.

[Zethin]

Your original argument is like actually garbage though (it's not even an argument, it's an opinion because arguments are actually supported by something).

Do you go to 18+ subreddits or boards and say "why is this here, this doesn't belong here go back to PornHub?" I'd assume not. It'd literally be no different if porn threads were moved to an exclusive subforum.

[Rusty100]

reddit isnt the same as facepunch though, a subreddit is in no way representative of the wider reddit in general. reddit is literally a 'create your own community' site. you people will make any false equivalency to justify showing everyone your pornos lol

[Zethin]

?? Are subforums not their own communities? Or megathreads?

Have I been misinterpreting what a subforum/megathread is for the past seven years?

[LZTYBRN]

and what were custom subforums?

[chunkymonkey]

This a baffling post. You could make that exact same argument for Facepunch.

[Chaotic Lord]

I vote Facepunch becoming a BDSM-centric forum. Name's already there. You'll have to opt-in to the rest of the forums.

[Curls]

What an assinine level of false equivalence lmao

[shortyish]

to me it has nothing to do about morals or whatever, i could care less about seeing porn. it's more that everything else on the forum facilitates actual discussion, whereas porn threads are just threads where people go to jerk off with each other. which is weird.

[EmperorScorpious]

How is it any different in that respect to LMAO thread where there is no discussion?

[fruxodaily]

As long as we steer away from weird porn, there's nothing wrong with it

[LZTYBRN]

the problem here is that "weird" is very subjective and what's weird to some people isn't weird to others

[Lazer]

I've been seeing this a lot, and I really don't understand it. Porn is fine, as long as it's not "weird?"

[Sleeves]

Strangest Boner Thread

[Rusty100]

then you gotta define what constitutes weird and also have moderators keep an eye on it. sounds like a good thing to have to do!

[fruxodaily]

I'd constitute weird porn as being:
Porn that is questionable, borderline illegal, something you wouldn't see on pornhub

So that would include
Beastality
Loli
Scat
Gore
Tentacles
Vampires who look like they're 5 but "officer she's 243 years old"
Rape
Sexual violence (intensive bleeding, pretty much gorey depictions, not BDSM like bruises or cuts)
Necrophila

That's some off the top of my head

[Rusty100]

an even easier solution is just to kill all of you idiots but we cant do that unfortunately !

[EmperorScorpious]

You continue to be a shining example of what good posting is, here on Facepunch.

[Mr. Scorpio]

porn is like the most thoroughly categorized genre of media on the planet, specifying what you don't want to allow/do want to allow is super ez
