Babe thread

[ICantSpellDawg]

I am offended that the Babe thread is in the front room. I find it degrading and innapropriate for minors who do use the frontroom. In addition, it is unfiar to homosexuals, women and gender-sensitive males because the Hunk thread is in the backroom, suggesting that semi-nude females are appropriate while semi-nude-dudes ae not.

My solution is that we put it in the backroom, where I spend most of my time...

Wha? We always had the Babe Thread in the frontroom, and how can it be offensive and inappropriate? There are no nude pictures, so it can't be offensive at all!

[Beefy187]

perhaps he is suggesting that if they move the babe thread to the backroom, people can start posting nudes?

[Abokasee]

As im Aware your not allowed to post nudes anyway (Someones buttocks at most) so... thread is redudant?

I suggest the "Hunk Thread" is "redudant".

Too many dudes is always redudant.

The Frontroom is called the Kingdom of Peace and Love for a reason.

Hi all, to the source of all this then….

I am offended that the Babe thread is in the front room. I find it degrading and innapropriate for minors who do use the frontroom. In addition, it is unfiar to homosexuals, women and gender-sensitive males because the Hunk thread is in the backroom, suggesting that semi-nude females are appropriate while semi-nude-dudes ae not.

Now, let me tell you TuffStuffMcGruff...

The only thing that is offensive here is your attempt to impose some limitations on the babe thread and the freedom of choice and expressions here. This (displayed) misguided notions on the female body and what it signifies is just ridiculous. We have all came out of a woman, and a little female skin here and there won’t hurt anybody. For thousands of years the human bodies, female or male, have been the subject of art, in various forms, hell even porn and plenty of other things. A harmless little babe thread won’t change or alter that fact. Neither will it offend anybody who is in their right mind and have not just moved in from planet Mars.

Now, the notion of the exploitation of the female body is something that we have constructed and it is completely artificial. The male body is equally exposed but we have become culturally accustomed to that all over the world and thus think nothing of it. Female breasts are just that – breasts – nothing more. The idea that they for some stupid reason need the cover of a bra is just ridiculous and utterly artificial. Females have as non-existent reasons to cover their breasts as we males do.

Conan with a bra is just silly and I hear nobody complaining or screaming about any such thing. The fact that many males find it exiting to watch the curves of gorgeous females are hardly a new thing nor should it be regarded as offensive or strange in any way. Females enjoy the shapes of men as well so there is no strange offensive thing going on here at all. The fags and lesbians do too you know…

It is just a question of supply and demand. The babe-thread is obviously a result of that. Our average PC-warlord here at the ORG likes a little female skin now and then so “he” put up a babe-shrine at some point. It was hardly any problems in finding material for that because the supply of babes on pics is anything but scarce. It is the result of demand and preference. Most of these babes live good and excellent lives because of their bodies and looks. They sell ‘em, because they can obviously do so. The demand for it is a fact. Why on earth would that be offensive? As long as they do so (the babes) voluntarily I really can’t see any problems with it – at all. It is not offensive nor should it ever be regarded as such and any such notion could easily be regarded as inhuman and artificial. If anything, a worthy target of concerns, regulation and restraints in my book.

Ok, so there is hunk-thread - obviously also a result of supply and demand. If the PC-warladies here want a hunk thread let ‘em have it, since it also is an expression and as natural and inoffensive as the babe-thread. If anything it should be moved out of this secret area “the backroom” I hear so much about here. Looking upon humans on pictures is hardly offensive, naked or otherwise. It is not porn just because someone is naked you know… Besides, visiting these threads are completely voluntary and if an 11-year old boy wants too look at some babes, let him – it won’t kill, hurt or destroy him and the same is true for a girl with the hunks.

As for suggestions and values on semi-nudity, the only one I see suggesting any such thing is you and possibly a few misguided followers here. Jesus has been represented as semi-nude for roughly 2000 years and the same goes for Hercules even longer than that and this is also true for a bunch of others. I don’t hear anybody complaining and whining about that and those are hardly the only examples of male semi-nudity. There is tons of it everywhere, regardless if it is ancient, classical or modern, male or female.

Now, I have no clue if you were serious or not in that post, but your presented reasons here do not in any way warrant a move of the babe-thread anywhere. Not even close actually. I and plenty of other babe-lovers should not be deprived of some gorgeous babes if we want drool over ‘em just because you apparently have some lame and silly concerns for various assorted minorities (the gay and lesbians etc. are still minorities in general and probably here as well). That, if anything, would be unfair. So the babe thread should go nowhere I think and you should have to do the enormously demanding task of moving/navigate your concerned self out of the backroom….

I can't believe some people are taking this thread seriously, when it's obvious the OP just wants the Babe thread in the forum he most frequents. Hence the Backroom regs want it in the Backroom, the Frontroomers want it to stay in the Frontroom, while Andres wants it in his Gameroom. I'm surprised no-one's put forward the case for it to be moved to the EB forums, as part of their exhaustive research into making the TW games more realistic. It might be tricky to think of a plausible argument for moving the Babe thread to the Scriptorium though.

We are very much about our serious business, sir.

[Lemur]

Ask and ye shall receive. The Hunk Thread and the Babe Thread have been reunited. Now let's hope they make beautiful babies ...

[Beefy187]

Upon moving the hunk thread, I suggest somebody get rid of all the joke pictures and joke posts. Unless its already been done

[Kekvit Irae]

I'm offended by the offense that people are offended by offensive threads which are making people offended that's making me offended.

Wow, that was quite a mouthful, both to read and to say.
