I just wanted to see who else was blinded by the avatar of TOXIC AVENGER!

Most of... well a good share of... Okay, it's probably just me that doesn't want to see obsene material here.

Note: I took out the poll. It had "yes", "no", and "Pat Buchanan"

You aren't the only one.

There are about a billion other things that would offend me or that I'm concerned about besides whether or not someone wanted to use a little "naughty" picture for their avatar. 8)

I wouldn't say I'm disgusted... I would say it's inappropriate for this forum and I wouldn't choose it, but to each his own. It's more of a moderator call than a Warren one.

Maybe not "disgusted", but some of use like to use this forum in public places, school, or work.

If anyone really wants to post a pic of people fucking, at least post it as a link and not an embedded image.

I understand your point. Not to split hairs or anything, but your banner with the panty shot is bigger than the avatars.

It's not like you guys haven't seen it before. Or maybe you haven't, but that's besides the case.

For me, I don't use this forum during work or school, so I don't really care what pictures are put on here. People can represent sex pics for all I care, since I'm already a huge poster at the SE sites

racism offends me. comercialism offends me. morons offend me. sex doesnt.

I agree about the public places stuff; I go on this forum a lot at my school library, and, well...
"Panty shots" are not nearly as bad/embarassing as Toxic's avatar. I'd frankly like it if my fellow classmates didn't think I was any more of a freak, thanks.

Well, first of all there's a large percentage of posters on this board for whom viewing such material is illegal, regardless of whether they've seen it before or not. Secondly, that kind of material can easily get someone fired from their workplace or suspended from their school. Regardless of whether it bothers me or not, it's a completely offensive and inappropriate choice for these boards.

Did you cut some secret backroom deal with the offensive person in question?

"Hey! I'm gonna be the center of a big fuss by posting an xxx-rated picture as my avatar! LOL"
"Great idea! I'll start a poll about how many people think that's wrong and cash in on that! ROFL"

Have you considered pointing the picture out to the mods privately? Apparently NOT.

As soon as I saw that avatar, I knew somebody was going to complain about it. I'm not offended--I'm pro porn. What I am is astonished that Toxie would lack the foresight to see that the avatar would be controversial.

I guess in some ways, this a motherfuckin "family" board or whatever, so maybe we shouldn't have pornographic Goddamn avatars and shit.

I think we should all strive to clean up our language, as well.

But the panty shot itself is smaller than the avatars!

Now that I really think of it, Toxic's avatar probably wouldn't offend me at all if it was a cartoon instead of a photograph.

teehee "panty shot"...oops sorry. why havent we heard back from senor avenger about this? i mean it is HIS avatar

Post by **STrRedWolf** » Tue Oct 22, 2002 7:27 pm

Well, we can make this poll moot. I just got word of this and I've nuked the avatar.

TOXIC AVENGER! needs to contact me via help@keenspace.com and use the title "SEX WITH THE SERVER IS SHOCKING". And for $DEITY sakes, sticking your parts into a running computer isn't worth it folks!

don't get so uptight. i believe that the human body is a thing of beauty. obviously you are all too immature to understand. and if anything i'm rebelling against the stigma attached the the act of love making. how do you think we were brought into this world?

anyway, i've changed my avatar to a moose. are you people happy now!?!?

KedaDibandion · Post by **KedaDibandion** » Tue Oct 22, 2002 7:50 pm

I never said I was mature. Thanks for helping me figure out exactly what it is I am... immature! Wow!

JV · Post by JV » Tue Oct 22, 2002 7:56 pm

It is important to help end the stigma that is so pervasive even in the 21st century, but there are better ways to choose to fight the battle.
