Sexy pictures, violent avatars and (ok, far-fetched) stories.

[Trogdor]

1. We have some avatars, that are movies, were people died (comic style or real). Maybe it seems cool, but for me it's only disgusting.
2. We have some pictures (comics too) here, that are not for 12-years-old-teenies. I remember a topic in media center month ago, something about a new picture for anything. I saw the picture, and a question hit my brain: "Is she wearing panties or not?"
3. We we have some vilent stories (ok, like title says: far-fetched) in the RP session, that are rivers of blood.
Where to draw the line?

My thoughts:

1. and 2. are not ok. Only a feeling and my intention to post this. Too sexy or too violent for my eyes. Call me a washcloth.

3. is ok. Why? We are playing a game, were we shoot eachother. And because of RP. But: Are those bloody stories really neccessary?

Discuss!

Wow. Get over yourself. This game is rated Teen, and anyone playing this game, or reading these boards, should be emotionally mature enough to handle violence. Heck, this server and its forums are even cleaner than stock Freelancer, where the characters let some profanity slip and people get shot at several points in the story. I realize we want to keep the ingame chat and forums clear of harassment/racism, but sometimes I feel like I'm playing 'Storytime in Kindergarten' rather than a space shooter where a galactic war is raging.

If you don't like it, go play Hello Kitty Island Adventure or some crap.

True, but we have 12 year olds on the server.

That's also an undeniable reality.

Oh, and must I remind you all that showing pornography to minors is considered a crime?

No one's showing kids porn. If someone has something naughty and some kid happens upon it, they've found it themselves and it's the parents' fault for not keeping an eye on them.

No more than it's Google's fault if the kid types in something like 'leg' into a search and gets dirty pictures and website matches that don't get caught by the safesearch filter.

Plus, in my opinion we shelter kids from reality too much anyway, shielding them from everything that isn't so nice and 'pure' about the world. Oh noes, boobies! Aahhh I'm scarred for life! It's stupid. We're probably the only creature on this planet that feels the need to shelter its young from the concept of reproduction.
