Guys.
If you want to talk about this, take it to WA/D/B. |

Originally posted by emcee yah... I'm glad that's a totally rational reaction. It makes so much sense and isn't in any way entirely absurd... oh wait.

People aren't offended by the word "God", they're offended by the phrase "God damn". Bleeping God instead of damn allows the statement to keep its original meaning. |

Originally posted by ElricOriginally posted by GavinIt's because there are waaaay more people who are offended by the word, "God" than there are people who are offended by the word, "Damn". Therefore, God gets censored, and Damn doesn't, continuing to prove A) Censorship is stupid and 2) People are morons who get offended way too god damned easily. I agree with everything you said. Word to your mother  |

Originally posted by Alex if you're pretending that the delicate game of finding what is and is not "acceptable" is so completely obvious, I think you need to trade in your brain  . For some fucked up reason we have to beep out the "god" in "god damn" on television. How does that make sense? For some reason we're allowed to show asscracks, incredibly revealing dresses, thongs, copious amounts of "sideboob" (family guy, yes!), yet a 1 inch diameter area of skin (nipple) is tabboo? It's where milk comes from for babies..
These things have never made sense to me, possibly my brain works in more fucked up ways than most, but this really isn't "obvious" to me. If you would argue it was obvious that sinse VN was told not to use the avatar I obviously should not, you're right. |

I have changed my avatar in accordance with the law.
You have witness my beautiful ego in action. The ladies love my nipples  |

Like the following:
Oh wait, that's what you're supposed to use, not what it looks like. |

Meh, I'll play nice (for now), this isn't my cause anyway. I just think the whole situation is silly and the inconsistant application of the rules obnoxious. |
| Apophis Posts: 113/734 |
Can you please show us what it looks like so we'll know what not to use? |

The next person who uses that avatar is getting IP banned because I'm tired of dealing with it.
Consider it a final warning. It can be considered pornography* and will not be tolerated. * Note: This mostly applies to people who don't know it's "Edward Elric" (undoubtedly a good portion of the board) and parents/teachers who are looking at-a-glance onto a page. Just play it fucking smart and don't put anything controversial like that onto a public field. |

Seriously guys, he's a friggin male for god sakes. Anyone who watches FMA can tell you that.
Admins, you really need to think. It doesn't matter how it looks, realize that this is an undeniable fact and grow up. You're not contributing to a bad society by allowing this kind of image being displayed. It's not even porn, for god sakes. |

There seems to be a weird error with the avatar... whenever I use ceratin images they seem to dissapear without explination. I'd like someone to look into this because it's kind of annoying to have to re-edit my profile repeatedly.
