Nome: That's cool. The fact that you quoted me threw me a little, 'cause yeah, alot of what we said was in the same vein as each other.

*Shakes head* You're so right, things start to get a little hazy so early in the morning. Lol :roll:

lol, yeah sorry, it appeared I hit the 'quote' button instead of the reply, I noticed later. I thought I deleted it, but only half of it it seemed. My bad, and I was a little brain fogged at that hour.

What were we doing still up at 4 am anyway? :wink:

10 pages of total shyte......is that a record?

 

[Bryony]

[NoOne]

Long live Will Farrell!! Now theres an avatar for the ages!!!

Crack up!!

and your children will only be 'negatively effected' by it if they are taught that such things are actually negative.

What a load of nonsense. Children will be more negatively affected by things if they aren't taught that these things are bad, this is exactly what causes them to accept them as normal.

There is nothing sexually explicit in the denotation of the cartoon. It's the connotations that hold the real problem. I think that's what should be debated.

Of course, it is completely obvious that this avatar is designed to depict a woman as a sex object.

This is completely different from going to the beach etc, as some have suggested. When you're at the beach, you wear less because you want to swim and get exposed to the sun (well, then there are people who do it for exhibitionist reasons too). It's really silly to say that the avatar isn't soft porn, as it is obviously designed to depict a woman as a sex object and make men sexually aroused, isn't this the definition of porn? A picture of a naked woman isn't necessarily porn, it is not what is shown that defines something as porn, it is the way in which it is displayed.

(sorry Vat69, that wasn't all aimed at you, sorry if it seemed that way because I quoted you)

 

[Bryony]

if your offended by my avatar then are you also offended by miss_magicals? Magpies? tommo's? soulweavers old monkey one?

 

[Sdaji]

miss_magicals?

A little

Magpies?

a little

tommo's?

I can't remember what his is.

soulweavers old monkey one?

Yes, it did.

Do I sound conservative enough for you? Don't take offense, we're all different, I understand that, I'm sure if we look hard enough we'll all find something in everyone else that we don't like. We have a difference in opinion, that's fine, it doesn't make me dislike you. I think I've made that quite clear all along. This discussion isn't about telling you off about your avatar (at least to me), it's about discussing perceptions, the way thing influence society, etc etc etc.

tommos one is my one with undies and bra on

 

[Sdaji]

tommos one is my one with undies and bra on

Tommo is just taking the $hit out of you
soulweavers was a bit gross but funny as all hell! wasn't sure if he was pissing or batting.......

 

[Sdaji]

mis_magikals is nice she looks powerfull!

Tommo is just taking the $hit out of you

yes, I realised that That was funny too :lol:

soulweavers was a bit gross but funny as all hell! wasn't sure if he was urinating or batting.......

well, gross as hell, maybe mildly funny. You couldn't tell what he was doing? Hmm... was pretty damned clear to me! Maybe I have a dirty mind.

 

[Bryony]

Hmm... was pretty damned clear to me! Maybe I have a dirty mind.

i don't have first hand monkey experience like you
i was trying to keep a clean mind, yours may not be totally dirty..........but it is warped

 

[Gregory]

I'm with Erin on this one.
Be buggered if I know what she said but I'll go with it anyway.

 

[BROWNS]

ah yes the power of suggestion!!!

 

[Vat69]

Haha Gregory, seems like I can count on you as a back up hey? :wink:
Atleast if you're gunna follow blindly, you're following the right leader. Hahaha :lol:
Seriously though, I appreciate the support. Thanks

Sorry Sdaj but porn is porn in the way it is percieved.Not as you say in the way it is presented.
Porographic material is considered to be offensive, not risque', not sexy, sexual or any of those but offensive. Now if you have mixed any of those up with pornography then I suggest you spend some more time with your analyst. AND I take offence to your use of the term BAD in this context. What next, dirty? Get a grip man. Its a cartoon. Ive seen an add on primetime tv that measures the movement of a jogging womans breasts. Another for hayfever treatment has animated people and the womans breasts move(shock)(more shock, I think my wifes bouce when she runs). Sure it can be construed as titillating but thats all.
