That's right. The example you've been talking about (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=358121) is IMO completely safe

Thanks for your input.

if your boss is unhappy when he sees a drawing of a busty girl in a swimsuit there's something wrong with him, not the picture.

Your personal opinion is certainly no the norm for everyone else. ~~What makes you think there is something wrong with someone because of their opinion of a picture?~~ Dont answer, its derailing the topic.

I may not care; but, a g/f of mine just saw the picture and told me it looks like a pedo's cartoon girl. Huh

Not sure if she maybe right, but i thinks it's something to reflect on. Shocked

Pictures of girls (real or not) flaunting their breast esp. in this manner[1] can certainly make other girls uncomfortable. This is exactly what my problem with the example in question is. I personally dont care. I think it makes the person wearing the avatar immature, but thats just me. My boss personally probably does not care for every similar reasons. Some of my less mature male colleagues however might feel the need to comment on the picture in a vulgar way. Some insecure female colleagues might feel offended by the picture. Essentially this can turn from a pubescent fantasy into an pseudo[2] feminist workplace nightmare. Id like to avoid the later one. I might very well be alone with this, but thats fine with me, I know how to make the avatar disappear.

I've seen mouse pad with this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=358121 picture, kind of mouse pad where boobs of this anime girl were made of silicon jelly and you can rest your wrist on them. And people in that shop commented that it is funny idea, nobody said anything about it is being pedo or NSFL related.

Id call that tacky, but its probably a question of maturity and/or age.

So I think you guys are being paranoid here and this avatar hunt is starting to resemble with hunts. Just stop that. We will see a clear limit of stupid avatar someday - this is not the one.

I was never asking for it to be banned, I merely state that the avatar in question looks NSFW for me. This certainly depends on my workplace and my personal opinion as well as views. There is no hunt. This is just a discussion about avatars or at least that was my intention.

Yes, there are NSFW topics here, but they are typically labeled as such. E.g. I just stoped posting in the "free hugs" thread a while back for a similar reason. An avatar is not limited to a certain area I can just avoid, it can pop up in the tech support section as well as in off topic or in meta. Disabling all avatars is certainly an option, but I guess Ill take the risk and block the specific picture for now. Thank you all for your input apparently the majority of you has no problem with pictures like this at work.

[1] essential in an available for sex or aroused pose
[2] IMHO the picture in question is essentially a sexual fantasy and has very little to do with equality.
