which frankly pretending that you're drawing dragon girls with dicks for funny parody reasons is way more gross and transphobic than just admitting it gets you off, because the latter is fetishization but the former assumes that the entire concept is hilariously absurd

yeah it was a case where some ordinary people were grossed out and gbs weirdos would shout them down in unison and applewhite would smugly post gross porn drawings at them.

A.) Don't tell me what gets you off

But Definitely

B.) Don't tell me what you think it's funny to get off too.

Because there's no way to do B.) without being a huge piece of poo poo, or sharing incredibly gross porn.

imo, proposed rule change:

guy accidentally copy/pastes furry porn involving consenting furry adults onto the forums: week probe and 'seriously check your copy/paste dude'

guy intentionally posts furry porn involving consenting furry adults onto the forums and constantly talks about how funny it is and how we should all laugh at it and isnt it weird: ban

because as it stands it feels like the inverse is true and like, if some dude gets off to weird but harmless porn i dont care, just keep it to yourself, the issue is guys who intentionally bring it onto the forums under the thin guise of comedy

nonsense. just give them their own special thread which they're IK of and treat them like a monkey in a zoo to laugh at. that's way less stupid than just banning them

That thread was so weird because it very much seemed like the kind of thing middle school kids would do (wacky crude humor is king at that age), but it's all a bunch of middle-aged people posting.

...well ok, it was weird for a lot of reasons, but that's definitely one of them.

to me the whole situation reads like it's straight out of the geek social fallacies. like, the thought process for some applewhite enjoyers seems to be "i am weird -> i have fun posting on the forums -> the forums accept me for being weird, i have my posting pals -> all sorts of vile poo poo can be tolerated from posters here" and the corollary posts that were like "don't act like you aren't weird too" which i found strange.

like yes i am probably not the most normal person in the world, i moderate a politics subforum ffs, but i am not weird in a way that makes me feel compelled to post about sex, horniness, jacking off, porn etc. that poo poo shouldn't fly! don't want or need that stuff on SA.

just forbid hornyposting, it really helped the GDQ threads after the SGDQ 2019 chat thread became a superfund site. Ever since then anything horny in the SGDQ/AGDQ threads get slapped quick, and it's not allowed in the speedpals discord at all either, and it's made the subsequent four years of threads immeasurably more readable and better as a result. theres still tons of bad fan art posted but none of it, at least, will be kazooie rear end

Also there's a line, like everyone has blind spots to poo poo that makes them horny, but when you fully indulge in it, it's offputting and it sucks. No-one on SA wants to know what you're bating too.

it's not so much "haha this is funny" i find objectionable because you can almost always tell that's bs, it's more the idea that this is somehow progressive, which has actually happened a lot on the wider internet beyond the infamous "queer enclave" post re: the AGDQ threads

I mean I don't know what else to tell you - Roots of Pacha is all of the Stardew Valley mechanics with the roughest edges filed off (no crows, no money penalty for staying out too late, simple puzzle dungeons instead of combat, nothing gated behind friendship levels other than cutscenes) and with a larger variety of crops, trees, animals (holy poo poo so many animals and in different colors), people to interact with, and about as many house and farm decorations. Writing isn't superb, but it's no worse than your standard Harvest Moon entry; but also, as you prosper, so does the village and it adds new decorations and gets more settlement-y. Make your own Stone Age beer and sauerkraut and take your alpaca to the monthly races. Have a pet sabertooth kitten or semi-domesticated wolf.

i think it can be healthy for people and in some ways queer positive to have a space where they can talk about their weird sex poo poo, because a lot of what society finds 'weird' aligns with things that are at least somewhat gay in nature (see: the era of the internet where just the concept of gay porn, or sexualized male bodies, was seen as a punchline)

however the disconnect people have is that this does not mean that turning any unrelated space into a place to unload what gives you a boner is queer positive.

a rl bdsm club can be a queer positive space. this does not mean tying your sub up in the walmart clothing aisle is queer positive.

Oh god... Oh Joy Sex Toy. The Cuckold comic will go down in history as their most notorious one, but I still can't believe they had an educational comic about alternatives to tampons that included using real (dead) sea sponges and cleaning reusable period sponges in tea tree oil (poison).

I think this is a good way to put it.

But also I feel like maybe there shouldn't be gray forum threads with "NSFW" in the title and then anything goes within. Because in practice that can only really mean one thing.

I'm not just talking about the dragon thread, either. There are people in the waffle images thread that are extremely obviously hitting "next image" dozens of times until it gives them porn, and posting it inline. It's not even interesting or unusual, just generic wank material presented without comment. If you try it for yourself, you might seriously take like five minutes solid of clicking a button to get tits.
