Decided to post this to give some people a few laughs.
The forum post that sparked it (so you don't get lost):
http://forums.furcadia.com/index.php?furcadia_session_id=11718-ogha-qcn&showtopic=33315&st=0&(My port is the one from the butt)
The insuing conversation:
ou say, "Cute port, [Name removed 1]. Do you feel guilty letting small children on a game that they should have no business being on?"
[ [Name removed 1] whispers, "I suggest you keep your mouth shut with your smart comments.
smile Read up on the forum, Emerald clearly stated what you're doing is against the rules. You're pulling the short end now, sweety.
razz " to you. ]
[ You whisper "All I can say is I disagree with you, and I am actually a mother.
smile " to [Name removed 1]. ]
[ [Name Removed 1] whispers, "All I can say is that everybody is entitled to their opinion, and that you are still breaking a rule no matter what.
smile Please act your age and try to keep issues out of public areas. If you have a problem with my opinion, please confront me on a personal level instead of publically smartmouthing me the way you did." to you. ]
[ You whisper "Like you said, entitled to opinions. I figured you'd stay and have a chat." to [Name removed 1]. ]
[ You whisper "Why? You brought it open in the first place by making a forum post. You should have kept it personal, doll :-" to [Name removed 1]. ]
[ [Name removed 1] whispers, "Yes, the forum.
smile Not Naia. Different place, different time, different reasons. Apparently many people thought it was alright, while in fact, it was not. Now plenty of people know that it's not allowed, which is the exact reason it was publically posted. And you know it very well." to you. ]
[ You whisper "It's still a public area. Still you bringing it in the open. And it is alright because children under 13 shouldn't be on Furcadia, as Emerald said." to [Name removed 1]. ]
[ Postmaster whispers, "Message #1 of 1, from [Name Removed 2] on Sun, Feb 18 at 4:48 PM EST: Ma'am, I suggest you think before trying to attack [Name Removed 1] over your bloody port. I am the one who snagged the screenshot of your port on my ALT '[Name Removed 3].' It was merely an example as well. If you have problems, come to ME about it. Leave [Name Removed 1] alone." to you. ]
[ You whisper "Wow, getting her friends to come to me now? I never attacked her. I only tried to initiate a conversation and tell her that children under the age of 13 shouldn't even be allowed on Furcadia. I'm a mother and I don't find nude ports offensive. Especially considering they have no genitals or nipples. They might as well be eunichs
smile " to [Name Removed 2] ]
[ [Name removed 2] whispers, "All I am saying is that I disagree with the way you approached [Name removed 1]. I took it upon myself to contact you. She explained what was going on, so you cannot blame her by saying she sent me after you. Which is the truth, just in a nice manner. Emerald specifically pointed out that the port you displayed was not okay. Em's literal words are: "First, you are right and those portraits are not allowed in Naia and you should call a Guardian for suggestive portraits, especially in the help areas." And she specifically meant those in display, which included yours. So no matter what your opinion is, talking about sex and having that port is STILL against the rules, so your opinion has no meaning in this context." to you. ]
[ You whisper "Well good luck reporting all of the guardians and beekins who have those ports and telling them it's wrong. I have a guardian friend with a suggestive port, and I've seen quite a few beekins with them on. And Emerald also said children under 13 aren't allowed on Furc without their parents. There is nudity all across the internet, if you can't deal with it, then that is your issue and anyone else who has a problem with it. Children who aren't allowed to see it, shouldn't be online period." to [Name removed 2]. ]
[ [Name removed 2] whispers, "You twist Emerald's words around, love. She said it is not recommended that players under 13 are on Furcadia, but you know there are. I personally, being a Welcomer, have seen and welcomed furres barely older than 6. Furcadia will not banish them from the game - that would be harsh and cruel. All players should be given a chance to experience the game, no matter what age. All we are trying to do is prevent the younger players from having to see sexual-related or suggestive ports and hear others talking about sex. FurN was created for that reason, and you'll have to move to FurN or take it to whispers. Nudity across the internet is a problem, true enough, but there are also parental blocks on computers. However, Furcadia can only block so much. DEP approves ports based on no nipples/genitals, but it cannot disapprove ports that are suggestive. Perhaps you - if you ARE a mother and have even the littlest respect for yourself and those around you - should be kind enough to take off your port and be considerate of younger players." to you. ]
[ You whisper "I saw porn when I was 5, and I wasn't traumatized. Children see themselves naked, it's no differant from seeing an adult nude. And the no genital thing is false. The port I have on was rejected even though she had no genitals and was nude. I had to add the panties.
razz " to [Name removed 2]. ]
[ [Name removed 2] whispers, "To each his own. Each case is different. True, they see themselves naked, but sometimes it is different when you see others - especially adults - nude. I have met quite a few people who have also seen pornography at a young age, and they HAVE been traumatized. One person I know even refuses to have sex because of the memory. Even if only 1 out of 100 furres who comes onto Furcadia gets offended by the images or talk they hear, that one person is more than enough to start some form of action against it." to you. ]
[ You whisper "While I can see where your opinion lies and is sparked from, I still cannot agree with allowing children as young as 6 on a furry game that is for the most part filled with pervs, and could be *****." to [Name removed 2]. ]
[ [Name removed 2] whispers, "To that, I do agree with you fully. I do know perverts and ***** on this game, sadly. But parents are able to decide if their kids are allowed on the game. All I wish to accomplish - as well as Sadil and a few other furres - is for the furres in Naia and other family-friendly areas to turn off suggestive ports and keep sexual talk to Furrabian Nights, or whisper. Honestly, with such talk, would YOU want to be labeled as one of the pervs or ***** due to your talk or images?" to you. ]
[ You whisper "I know I'm a perv. I admit that to the fullest extent. I can agree with you on the issue of talking about sex or sexual activities, but I don't find nude artwork of a tasteful or slightly suggestive nature to be all that offensive." to [Name removed 2]. ]
[ [Name removed 2] whispers, "But you are an adult (or so you claim). As a mother, please keep perverted comments, actions, and images to FurN. This is the last time I will say it, and you are now on the silent rule." to you. ]
