NSFW Sigs and Avatars

[Tyche]

I want you to tell me, in terms of the whole point of this thread (someone walking by your pc and seeing shit) and tell me what is more identifiable?

The words "Cooking with Semen!"

or a girls face with an ambiguous liquid on it?

Neither is good but saying one is better than the other for the purposes of what is SFW is utter bullshit.

I can show my boss a "cooking with semen" book and he'd laugh. I would show him a picture of a girl getting a facial and get fired.

Are you the guy I was referencing earlier that just doesn't fucking understand context no matter how hard they try?

I'm positive Sonomoo only created this thread as a way to say "Look, stop bothering me, we've already discussed it, and the answer is no." instead of having people complain to him, so dont get too worked up about it Ksandra.

It's more like moving it from being Disney level 1989 to Disney level 2009

E.g.

1989 Wholesome:

2009 Wholesome:

Basically, the point is going from batshit conservative to hey you know, yeah this is a little provocative, but really it's no worse than in popular media anyway.

Disney isn't doing it right tho.

For me, it's just really about being selfish. I like to look at BG while I'm at work. For some stupid fucking reason (when I'm not arguing with some retard), it reminds me that there are good things & people out there in the world beyond my immediate concerns of do this, do that, make sure so & so does this, and beyond the petty insignificant fucking stupidities that I am subjected to by my peers on a daily basis, etc... essentially it's an escape for me from the bullshit of daily life. If it was to go NSFW, I'd have to remove this particular escape from my routine because I'm not gonna risk my career for it, and not being able to check out BG would pretty much suck... not least of all because it's ffxi related and I can stay up to date on shit here while I'm at work.

I guess I don't expect anybody to care about how I feel, or to care if I had to leave... but that in and of itself is a type of freedom, because nobody expects shit from me here. Life goes on either way.

Great! I'm super glad for you, guy! Maybe we should just universally apply the standards you are held to at your work and any time we get in trouble for something that you wouldn't we can tell our bosses or loved ones to fuck off!

Talk about not getting it, "my boss is ok with it so it's ok and you're an idiot lol"

Fucking dumbass, jesus christ.

orly? inc dicks.

Also, there have been multi-million dollar lawsuits for far less than a cooking with semen book.

You're still a vapid idiot, just further pointing it out.

I know you're attempting to be sarcastic, mainly directed at me, despite the total failure of that this does actually clear up a shit ton of points.

what numbers has for a sig, under this, is appropriate. Ariel rebel with a dildo in her wouldn't be.

My god, we have definable standards. Let's vote!

[Omnipotent]

So it's basically 50/50, this voting isn't really doing much, going to need another tie breaker lol.

No, you have absolutely no understanding of perception. You see a book about cooking with semen, you think funny, a little gross, certainly interesting. The perception from seeing a girl with semen all over her face isn't the same as the perception of seeing a book about cooking with semen. To say the standards are equal is ridiculous.

So your opinion is supposed to be universally held? Got it. You're a fucking idiot. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Harassment that constitutes a hostile environment is anything that creates fear, intimidates, ostracizes, psychologically or physically threatens, embarrasses, ridicules, or in some other way unreasonably over burdens or precludes an employee(s) from reasonably performing his/her work.

cool story bro

[#686578]

Tyche, even though I think you're retarded in this thread I still want your body

[Tyche]

I can go on a thousand SFW sites and find that book. I can't go on any and find a girl with semen on her face.

[Seraph]

Holy Batshit Jesus. If you ever have to ask if something is safe for work, it's not fucking safe for work. Why is that even a discussion? That said, turn off sigs and avatars at work if you have to surf. Not hard.

no offense, but I really dont care about what you like and dislike, I dont need to cater the forums wants and needs to you at all. Once the poll is over the entire situation will be evaluated and honestly with this at a 50/50 deal Im much more inclined to not fix shit that doesnt need to be fixed. Im thankful for the discussion and Im glad the thread is moving along with people voicing concerns, it opens things up a lot. But Im ignoring the demanding assholes who want me to do what they decide because they believe they are cooler and more deserving than everyone else.

And numbers is still a troll.

I'd put my money that this definition won't change anyone's vote, including yours.

Furthermore, should there not be a definition for the alternative also? Seeing as apparently a side-boob caused this.
