I tried to look, so as better to understand your objection to forum policy.  Cloudflare threw me a Google CAPTCHA.  I don’t do those anymore, especially not for read-only viewing of a web resource.
Sorry. In my defence, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find image hosting sites that a) allow NSFW art; b) allow hotlinking; c) don't resize/recompress/otherwise mangle the original file; d) don't use Cloudflare or anything worse; and e) don't do anything even more obnoxious that I haven't listed. Here it is via the forum's image proxy: ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fd.facdn.net%2Fart%2Ffoxpup%2F1572178064%2F1572178017.foxpup_btcntlk10yrs.png&t=619&c=82s3t2f-vi7JLA (NSFW)

Thanks.  Neat trick.

Now, this is why I wanted to see it:

  • The image does not depict nudity, not even cartoon nudity.  I had assumed that it did.  Beneath the black bars, I could not see that the genital area and nipples are (barely) covered.
  • The image is what I myself consider to be distasteful.  I already knew that; but I could not say by how much, without seeing the uncensored image.  Now, I can say that I have seen worse elsewhere on this forum.  Furthermore, I can state that I often see other things freely posted which I would consider to be much more harmful to children.  See below for an example.

    Not that I want to ask for those to be deleted—to the contrary, it is an argument in my mind of:  “If this is permitted, why is that forbidden?”  The rules do not make sense to me; and I do not think that I am on notice of how I can follow them.



^^^ Thus began my reply to Foxpup, which I set aside because it takes time and tedium to locate suitable examples, etc.

To be continued, with whatever adjustments may be needed as the thread evolves.


I don't even like nullius for obvious reasons

Mutual.  And you are severely mischaracterizing TMAN here.  It is a shame that that undermines your credibility, because you raise a good and fair point about LoyceV:


You forgot that LoyceV also runs didtmansayabadword.tk, which I found sufficiently amusing that I suggested that it should count whenever TMAN said the word “fork”(← ⚠ ACHTUNG!  The screenshot of Jihan’s infamous tweet is NOT SAFE FOR WORK!)

but worse than that, I have kids walking around here too.

Roll Eyes


And even though we don't raise them to be snowflakes,

Does “not raising them to be snowflakes” include teaching them to use language that would make a sailor faint?  Admit it, you shitcuntarsedicktwat, you reported my posts because you disliked my masterful counterstroke against suchmoon’s middle-schooler grade potty-mouth trolling of me.  As I alluded above in this thread, one of my deleted posts seriously-sarcastically documented suchmoon’s prior history of pride in not wearing a paid signature—hah, hah, only serious!*  Loyce, I think that that probably offended you more than the Courbet painting.

...and then, you rhetorically hid behind your wife and kids.  Classy.


* For the record—a I have said before, repeatedly—I am quite ambivalent about paid signatures.  I strongly dislike them myself.  I have spent the past few years reserving the right to take a paid signature from a reputable, no-spam campaign, if I really need it to avoid starving.  I have not done so, because I cannot stomach putting an American-style ad billboard on all of my posts.  Ugly!  Crass!  Whereas Lauda thought that I was stupid for spending so much of my time here, with zero compensation—effectually devaluing myself; and I don’t think that she did anything wrong by wearing a paid signature.  Anyway, none of that is the point here.  suchmoon used to be so very proud of not wearing a paid signature, and now she has one; so...
