I didn’t really have problems with you, duck badge or no c:

@Nightweaver20xx  
It’s true we all love you. Mostly cause you’re hilarious.

@Nightweaver20xx  
Everybody here still loves me, though. I’m your Gavin Free.

@Xidphel  
I usually read the rules and then mostly forgot about everything except the common sense ones.

@Nightweaver20xx  
well yeah, that’s why you have a duck badge.

@Blissey1  
How’s that explain me then? I read the rules and then actively ignore them to make everyone’s lives harder.

@Xidphel  
you’d be amazed how many people have never read the rules.

@Mike  
You’ve never read the rules?

@PonyPon
 
@Blissey1  
Ah, I see.

@Mike  

 
and there’s a lot of discussion about porn here for a safe rated image…

@Mike  
thread contents must be of same rating as picture or below.

@TexasUberAlles  
Wait, what? Rule 7?

There sure is an awful lot of unnecessary Rule #7 action goin’ on in here for a GIF that’s pretty much the antithesis of that sort of thing. I need to go ask my grandmother what the German word is for “not actually surprised but still disappointed”.

@The Smiling Pony
 
There’s no need to state the obvious. Otherwise there’d be no need to mention the many beautiful pieces that I’ve refused to fap to by virtue that they’re just too pretty.
 
Seriously, though. I’ve seen quite a bit of porn that spikes my artistic interest waaaaaaay more than my pervy interest. And I’m always thankful for seeing it too.

Two tips:
 
If you click on the “Reply” link in the upper-right corner of the comment to which you’re replying, it’ll insert a bit of code in the comment box that will make the “@username” a type of link that will display the comment being replied to. (Try clicking on the blue “@Lunalove” you see at the beginning of this comment to see what I’m talking about.)
 
Also, there’s a cleaner method of linking to external web pages, like so:

which turns into this in the posted comment: Monty Python

“Sarcasm isn’t easily conveyed over text”
 
…which is why one would need to apply for a course at the Ernest Pythagoras University of Advanced Sarcasm, where Professor Doug Piranha has a chair in dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and… satire. And where, if you’re a naughty boy, Doug’s Brother, Dr. Dinsdale (Ph.D in Putting the Boot in the Groin, and Various Extreme Violence) will screw your pelvis to said chair (if a cake stand isn’t available; that, or simply nail your head to the floor).

@Eeveeinheat  
When I call that glorious, I speak in terms of the art quality, not the ‘hotness level’. If you like, you could check my favorites to see where my particular explicit interests lie.
 
@Background Pony #EA6F  
That’s exactly what I was trying to say. External interests are what end up driving a number of people to vote the way they do.

@Brokedownandmadeone  
That picture is quite average. I think you have a human fetish to think of that as glorious. wink

@Brokedownandmadeone  
It is still, at least, based on the art itself. If someone were upvoting not because they liked the particular drawing, but to try to encourage an artist to draw more porn (or downvoting to discourage such), then that would be taking external factors into consideration.

Before I saw this, I had no idea that we had such tags like “Weapons-Grade Cute” and “This Will Kill You”.
 
Ah internet…

@The Smiling Pony  
Not exactly what I meant. I’m well aware it counts as art. Hell, I think this is a glorious piece (explicit) >>785882.  
But then there are images which, in my opinion, do not deserve the upvotes they end up getting. But they get them on the basis of being pornographic in nature. Yet if it were drawn in the same style/quality, it wouldn’t have gotten near as many.

@The Smiling Pony  

@Brokedownandmadeone  
>implying porn isn’t art  

@SeraphimDawn  
Sarcasm isn’t easily conveyed over text and with a statement like yours, it’s really hard to tell. Thanks for clarifying.
 
@Background Pony #EA6F  
>voting based on the art itself  
If that were to actually happen, several pictures wouldn’t have the large amount of upvotes they have. The reason some of them do? Porn or fetish. That’s all I’ll say on the matter.
