1) I think it's bullshit that you posted a picture that would get anyone else banned in a second. Part of being in a position of authority is trying to set a good example.
2) I'm sick of the tired old "well if you think X is OK, then you must think PEDOPHILIA is OK!" argument. Any sexual behavior directed from an adult to a child is wrong, and that's not the issue here. If two adults think it's hot to dress up as animals and hump each other, that's their business -- they are ADULTS. In fact, there is a lot of sexual stuff that people enjoy that I simply don't understand -- watersports, BDSM, violent fantasies, tranvestitism, etc. But it isn't my place to judge their fetish, and I don't understand why making fun of furries is the hot fad on this forum all of a sudden.
3) If you think that it's inappropriate to mention sexual fetishes on the board, that's fine with me...but to be consistent, there are a LOT of other topics which will be out of bounds.
1) That's your opinion, and a perfectly valid one. However, I'm not the first Gaming Age admin who's bent the rules for himself, and I'm guessing I won't be the last. It is more admirable to "set a good example", so I don't want you to think I'm criticizing the position.
2) What may surprise some people is I don't have a problem with two people dressing up in animal costumes while or before having sex. As long as they don't flaunt it, I don't care.
The problem is, thanks to the internet, furry sex is fucking flaunted, and it's really god damn annoying. I don't think transvestites having sex is attractive at all, but I don't see transvestite art plasted all over the internet, or people with the faces of BDSM bondage slaves as their fucking avatars. I completely agree with your notion of- as long as you're not hurting anybody (aside from the case of BDSM or others where people ask to be hurt) or anything (bestiality), then whatever your sexual preference/deviance is fine by me.
3) I use the stance that I think what's sexually appropriate for discussion is what's appropriate to show on TV. Straight, Gay/Lesbian, Interracial, etc, they're all accepted (well, at least are mostly becoming accepted) in our culture. There are a lot of people on this board who don't want to read about gay sex or gay people period, and there are many people on this board who ARE gay. It's a touchy subject for sure, and not one where there's any factually right course of action or mindset.
That being said, I was under the impression that the comic originally posted in this thread was an incredibly stupid propoganda piece for the furry mindset. I said I was confused and didn't understand what the point of it was, and that explanation was raised and echoed. If I was under the impression that it was instead a declaration of how terrible ADD drugs are terrible or something, then I obviously wouldn't have made that alteration in the first place.
But as it stands, that's how it was initially interpretted, and that's what formed the conversation/argument that's taking place now.
