Oh My God, text walls. Alright, let’s cut through this.
I do not understand Trygon’s posts. I knew about the thread that caused this. I also know as much about your personal life as you do about mine.
And Poly’s.
It's common sense that a place that has been billed as a sea of piss has P.C. boundaries? You never answered that question. Although anyone can see if gang rape is a problem, we are clearly not.
NewGen is only as bad as the members make it. And the fact is; NewGenners aren’t actually that bad and I am very, very sure all of us think that gang rape is a problem.
I am also convincing people that Yori hasn’t earned most of what was posted in that thread. I am not setting boundaries on everything, I am just saying that we should try to push back with a force that equates the push against us. And of course, people are very free to ignore me. That is the beauty of NewGen. Anyone can try to convince anyone of anything here, but no one has to listen.
]Also, not that it matters, (but you didn't get the joke) we were always saying Yoritomo was our Mother. Babies aren't born out the ass. The joke is that Yoritomo had a vagina. "The very next day he had fertilized eggs." I said he & was talking about woman parts, if that's unacceptable lets go ahead & delete Kiki's one line story as the same thing was mentioned there.
The difference is that the result was just creepy. Sometimes context and imagery make the difference. For example; someone might say that a poster should remove the rod out of his ass, but should he or she draw a picture of it with the poster’s face/avatar on it, facial expressions and all? Or perhaps a poster says he wants to make love to another poster? Should he or she draw a picture of it to further make his point? Now, whilst it is allowed so long as it doesn’t breach the TOS, I am saying that it is going a little too far for the sake of a joke. It is kind of like a guy groping a woman as the punchline of a joke. It might be funny to few, but it is pretty darn creepy and it might have not been so if he had simply implied it instead of acting it out.
]Or is that kind of thing acceptable for everyone else? Should we prohibit jokes that get old, or whenever Trygon isn't amused?
As I said, I am not saying we should prohibit anything. You must understand that freedom is a two way street. Whilst you have the right to post as you wish within the guidelines, I have the right to complain as I wish within the guidelines. In NewGen, it is less a war of rules, and more a war of ideals. And he who can change the most in a debate sets the tone for the rest of the site. In a site like this, culture is law.
]Oh sorry guys, I can't answer that question I have a phone call.
On the switch side, I would agree if there was a demand to ban these GIFs of yours.
This forum is amazing, don't tip it on the bad side by bickering and squaballing over an issue that half of /NG/ probably doesn't give a shit about.
But I like debates and drama...
Though really; this is going to die or be laid to rest. It ain't going to consume us all. And the moment you think it does, you can always counter poll for thread deletion, or convince me to do it myself, seeing as it is my thread.
