Yes, I was talking to you (which is why I used your name like 8 times). Believe me, I know that you post them because you like them. That much was obvious. I'm asking why you like posting them.
Also, if I decide that I like posting threads featuring pictures of mountain gorillas being fisted by unruly natives, I don't expect that "Because I like posting them" will count for much when the community pushes back.
And maybe that's the problem here. I would *expect* the community to push back. I also would expect the community to push back against the sort of NSFW threads that you like to start. You don't expect that. Others seem to vary on what we expect from community reaction.
Philosophically, I think less of those kinds of threads because I think they are incredibly juvenile. I think less of people that think that starting them is awesome, because I think they are incredibly juvenile. And I think less of a community that actively defends them because they are incredibly juvenile.
I have no opposition to NSFW content at all, when there is a purpose to it other than the simple fact that it's NSFW.
And the extent of my opposition to it when it's purpose is as transparent as the kind of thread in question is simply to evaluate whether that's the kind of community I care to be a part of.
And maybe that makes me the problem? I have no idea.
