Like......why?

There's like a billion porn sites out there and even subreddits to that type of thing? I just don't get it.

The problem is that the definition is overly broad (and vague) and includes "sexualization" of fictional characters (it's now against the ToU to assert that Samus is hot or sexy)

This. What was considered reasonable to discuss 10 years ago on this board is asking for trouble if you attempt to talk about it now. The angle of "hornyposting", I worry about what's considered "horny", and consequently off limits to discuss, expanding. You really want to take this risk with how the board's access is setup?

I'm upset, not because I liked those posts in fact, I disliked the breeding post intensely. Just the mention sickened me. However with the wide reaching crack down on post I am worried about the site in general. Also I am not holier than thou, a good post with a fine foxgirl lady in it, has been something I have enjoyed personally. But just the framing of these things were very questionable. But at the same time, there could be an over correct .

This.
I personally care little about the fact those topics are gone despite enjoying their content from time to time. But if you're going to enforce something at least give a clearly defined rule, especially when we're all basically on our last life here with no continues left.
It feels deliberate even if it isn't.

I legit don't even know what I am allowed to post anymore.

I don't care about "hornyposting" it's that it's clearly more needless censorship inline with destroying the boards/site so they can turn it into one giant ad

i don't miss the ass topics, or dudes saying shit like "i'd blow her back out," but if i got suspended for drawing a character with cleavage, and it was to "protect" users here (on a private board that can not get new users) that's just absurd, and a further reach than i can measure

I honestly didn't mind the hornyposting too much, but I didn't like that some users made it their entire personality. I don't won't necessarily miss hornyposting, but I do think the rule change is a net negative overall. Especially with how broad it is. And that whole thing about commenting on a person's clothes being moddable even if they are fully dressed.

Exactly, if "hornyposting" is allowed, it's a slippery slope towards digital sexual harassment and really opens up new debates about consent, specially considering the mob mentality that surrounds these topics.

No, there is not, and the mods have no idea when it will be updated. I doubt that D_Toast even has any idea. Not to mention that the current ToU is so ridiculously bare bones and literally only a few sentences long. Gamefaqs at one time had a very lengthy ToU (too lengthy, TBH) that covered things like masturbation, ASCII images, and knowingly posting misleading information. Not to mention it gives next to no examples on what Gamefaqs considers to be "offensive" posting-- a word that has almost as subjective a meaning as "political"

For example, posting photos of animal feces (even something like a cow patty in a field) is, AFAIK, still against the ToU, but you would have no idea this was the case simply by reading the ToU. A large swathe of the population do not find such photos to be offensive so long as it doesn't appear during dinner conversation. And if we were to ban anything that large percentages of people find offensive while eating, we'd get warned or purged for even acknowledging that bugs/spiders, reptiles, diseases, cuts/burns/injuries/healing scabs, autopsies, manmade pollution, and dirty shoes/socks exist (not to mention food contamination.) It would also be against the ToU to discuss zombies and zombie-related media.

maybe some individual comments should be modded more often but banning entire topics is an overreaction

How many days has it been now, and some folks here are still grappling with objectification and oversexualization of women?

Its not exactly rocket science, put in the work to understand these concepts and its really not too much to ask of grown adult men.

its starting to be embarrassing with asinine rationalizations like saying anime is not real depictions of people and shouldnt count

Just because you draw a picture, doesnt mean it is in some other dimension outside of reality and can not exist in our own reality

If you want to make an Instagram and post photos of shaking your money maker, thats your prerogative. Men going around collecting all these individuals who are not famous people to make a 500 page collection of adult material is not the same thing as the woman who made her own page

that's why I said individual posts that go too far should be modded and not entire topics. CE has had plenty of topics about hot men in its history. I don't click on them because I don't like that, but it's not offensive either.

and anime portrays men unrealistically and sexualizes them too. I don't know what you're talking about there. and it isn't real so it shouldn't count. but loli should still be banned

honestly it kind of sounds like you just want to put 100% of the blame on men/men who post on CE, which in itself is offensive.

"thirst trap egirl" is a straight up career path on social media, but nah, dudes and anime are the real problem, especially at gamefaqs dot gamespot dot fandom dot com slash current events

This has literally nothing to do with being sex negative, prudish, or puritanical.

A public forum does not get to be your personal fap box just because thats what you personally prefer to use it for. Have some dignity dude. Women are supposed to be welcome here, too.

Nobody is stopping you from making a chat room where you and your other buddies can do what you want together.

I think, I hope in a few weeks or so it just won't be a problem. Probably 90% of the issues were just obvious topics that would be well over the line. The other 10% are edge cases and the ones we're seeing now are people purposefully trying to push boundaries.

I've never used this site as a "fapbox" so you can knock that shit off. It's one thing to ban outright pornography. It's another to say "nothing remotely sexual about women is allowed." And if sexualizing fictional characters offends your sensibilities you need to grow a thicker skin full stop. You support sex negative policies stop acting like you don't.

Its not that. The wording of what hornyposting itself is is so vague, you can pretty much get modded for anything. A person can be completely clothed and all you have to say is that person looks nice for it to be considered objectifying according to the wording and its stupid.

here's a question for you- and if you simply don't have the answer, that's fine- but i'm an artist, with a small group that enjoys tuning in. some of my characters are rather buxom, but i've had multiple 500-post threads here that were untouched by mods because i followed clear rules about nudity- no nips, no bare ass, nothing down there, obvious, reasonable stuff. are those still the rules? or now is it more strict? no cleavage, no exaggerated proportions? i have never had intentions of posting straight up smut here, but if i should post my drawings elsewhere, that's fine, i'd just like to know what the rules are before i break them without even knowing
