Ohgod-

Also, to say the truth, morally, I am utterly neutral to erotic fiction, no matter how risqué... as long as it doesn't seriously glorify its subject matter (I'd argue that, for example, the Saw movies glorify violence and actively encourage Fan Dumb, regardless of the "subtle, actual message"). I don't think booru one-shots do this. They just offend me aesthetically, but that's because of the Theorem Of Narrow Interests: stuff that interests few people tends to be crappy. I don't think we lose much by not-posting it. Anyone artistically interested in pure shock value can look up actual published auteurs that would satisfy that need for institutionally-authorized thrills. Here's one that Neil Gaiman namedropped in an issue of Sandaman, it might have been an influence. That'd be True Art, not pornography, so it's okay to post it. At least no-one told me otherwise. As for those interested in pony-related shock value... I think they could find other, dedicated sites with restricted entry where to freely discuss and exchange around such a hobby. This site being all-ages, I think it might be inappropriate to keep talking about that stuff.

It's late and I'm rambling, I should go to sleep.

A case of true love has the same redeeming power as a case of genuine curiosity: they are the same.

So it seems that the official ruling is that there will not be an official ruling. Eddie will not be issuing a ban on Ponibooru links.

Pornographic links remain prohibited.

The mods have spoken. Everyone, let us bend the knee and acknowledge their wisdom and tolerance. Truly this show has reached their hearts.smile

Dang, I hope Ponibooru doesn't start allowing porn; it's where I dig up most of my fanart.

Also, that What's Opera, Doc? parody is freaking hilarious.

@Pacific: I have a similar stance; I have no problem with sexual content in art or stories so long as it retains respect for the source material. Unfortunately, most porn doesn't, and exists solely for prurient reasons. Not at all a fan of that stuff.

What do you think is behind all those    EXPLICIT    labels, eh?

[up]Okay, what I meant was that I hope it doesn't become as widespread on that site as it is on sites like Danbooru. I'm aware that there's some porn, but from what I've seen, it doesn't make up nearly the percentage of other similar sites.

Teeth, you just need to turn your filter for explixit images off and you'll get page after page of porn.

Or So I Heard. Have not dared to try that myself.

Yeah, that filter is staying exactly where it is. Didn't realize I still had it set the way I did.

I've stumbled on an intersting picture. On the left, it features a humanized scootaloo and wosshername, very young fillies, fully dressed, one of them depositing a very chaste kiss on the other's cheek. On the right, it fetures the same persons, aged a decade or two, naked (in an artsy-erotic more than pornongraphic way, you definitely can't see any nipples) hugging and sharing a romantic kiss.

Is this the stuff we are dreading? It seems like a borderline case to me.

We are talking of full on nudity with visible genitals.

I had the misfortune to stumble one of those pony tumblr things that seemed clean at first, then BAM! Three dicks and one horse out of fucking nowhere.

I really wish I could forget that image. I forgot which chracter it was related to though, was it Vinyl or Lyra or Octavia or no music pony at all...

Oh, and most if not all images from those tumblr pony blogs end up on ponibooru.

I'm assuming that the stuff we're talking about is a good deal less arty than that. But I'm not turning the filter off to check.

I'm just looking at the first page of Ponibooru with the filter set to remove everything which ISN'T explicit. EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE. depicts the underaged. Just as we feared

I couldn't help myself, I laughed... hard [lol][lol]

Explicit can probably also mean gore, which might not be comforting.

[up][up] They already know what's on the site. As I said, that's what I saw with the filters turned off completely, which you have to go out of your way to do

It should be safe under normal circumstances. The default settings are to put content labels over everything stronger than "Safe", and you can alter your settings to filter out everything. I currently have it so that Questionable and Explicit stuff doesn't even show up, and content labels on those things and stuff that isn't yet rated.

If worse comes to worse, most of the stuff on Ponibooru we would worry about (like art we'd share on the Crowning Moments pages) is just taken from deviantART and usually ends up on Equestria Daily anyways.

I don't think Eddie cares, TBH. I find the fact that this stuff exists creepy as all hell, but that's what filters are for.

(And I resent the implication that this show having reached my heart was ever even in doubt. tongue)
