Is it mini porn that suddenly I’ve seen alot of posters on here with avatars of fertile bouncy bubbly breastests(it’s a pun) and even flashing me? One man’s porn is another’s man’s admiration
But do seeing women in such pictures objectify them as sexual objects because we are focusing on their sexual organs?
Or is a woman being hypersensetive to such an observation? Or is this the silent revolution to get a man’s forum?
Seriously, what is it with all these bouncing boobies avatars? It makes me wanna post naked Brad pictures again. We need to even out the playing field. Is it time for Brad’s ass to make a comeback?
I can’t see anything wrong in having an vatar of a male with tanga or undies only, and let him do some moves.
What should be the reason for not alloving that - please don’t get too PC here, because then it gets boring.
[quote=“Dragonbones”]Fair’s fair. But too much of this stuff makes it hard (ahem) to open 'mosa at work. (Like I should talk, after all I’ve posted. )
I guess I’d rather see it generally confined to NSFW threads or even “almost NSFW” threads, rather than avatars which can pop up (ahem) anywhere. [/quote]
I have to agree with DB here. It IS getting pretting difficult to browse these forums at work these days.

Or even selectively, like a clean, family-friendly 'mosa option? The admins could set a flag on any offensive avatar (or poster?) and then you could select an option in your preferences to turn off those selectively. Just dreaming, of course.
[quote=“dablindfrog”][quote=“jdsmith”]The crotch shot is a bit over the line IMHO. The bouncing boobies is nice but after a while…several hours anyway…they get old.
But I’m the prude of the pack.[/quote]
it’s panty shot,if it had been a bare crotch i definately wouldn’t have posted it[/quote]
I don’t think my wife would see much of a difference. I can, and I’m certainly glad you can too.
Either way. I still think it’s a bit much, not to mention adolescent, but I’m an old fart.
We seem to always go through these “pushing the avatar envelope” periods on this site.
I would prefer not confusing this site with a porno site though on a glance. But then again, we are all very different people, and have different standards and tastes and senses of humor.
Since I was argued that Erhu’s avatars were not acceptable I have to agree that these bouncing Betties aren’t either. Really, it was pretty embarrassing today to open up any thread that had taiwansaffie or whoever involved. It’s not a question of PC, or prudeness, but simply recognizing that this sight is not just viewed at home by adult males and females during their leisure hours.
You guys raise some good points. Do you think you could PM the people and ask them nicely to replace their avatar with something which won’t raise eyebrows in your office? I think we can agree that these avatars aren’t pornographic in the common sense of the word, just inappropriate. I’m sure that a polite request will produce the desired results. I really don’t want to have to put myself or the moderators in the position of regulating good taste - I’m sure that I would err on the side of the bouncy girls…
