I don't get this. To say the least?

Most ironic, but quite fitting...no? We worship the creation and and all of it beauty but can still despise the Creator and all His majesty. I would just let it go TCO.

If anyone wants I'll see about posting my whole collection of avatars in the porn section, as there are quite of a few of them and it's a shame that some of them won't see the light of day.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
I'm not offended in the least - but it's pretty hard to offend me. I have no problems admitting that I like porn - I like what I like.

However, while I am also against censorship of any kind, I would PREFER the avatars to be "workplace safe", since I do most of my surfing at work (when I should be working).

Exceptions should include pics of yourself. If you're brave enough to show your own naked body on the internet (male or female....preferably female), then more power to you.

I've found for the most part, this board to be one of the most mature boards, and have never really even thought of this as a problem.

The dont know what the **** B1510 is talking about, but I am talking about the pic itself, not the symbolism. The picture is somewhat bloody looking, it just looks bizzare. I personally think their are more appropriate depictions of jesus out thier then the one your picked.

Easy big fella... :whip:

Again...ironic.

I find that picture to be a fabulous depiction of the Christ that I know as my Lord. So much imagery in that blood and filth that he bore on that cross.

But...that is OT.

Back to the appropriate depiction of women in porn ;)
 
me thinks this thread is turning into a bitch session.

seriously. if you're in an environment where the avatars aren't appropriate, then turn em off. it's not hard. this is the kinda **** that really annoys me. someone feels the need to change everyone else before just taking care of the problem themselves. bottomline: you can't please everyone. there's always going to be someone 'offended'.

go ahead, flame away, JMO.

There was really only one guy who was using a "tone non-conducive to friendly discussion".

Hey...joke 'em if they can't take a fvck. :hammer:
 
Hmm, I wonder if my avatar is work friendly? Probably not I suppose, and it would be nice to actually have some of my posts read and responded to rather than simply receiving comments on the avatar.

And btw, somebody already took care of the "male" avatar. Those damn Methyl 1 crotch shots still haunt me in my sleep... :run:

I don't try to add things to my posts just to go out of my way to offensive... and Buc, I am not really trying to pick on you.. you just happened to be the first one to chime in with this.. I know others were thinking it without saying it...

In no way did i go out of my way to be offensive wasnet directed at anybody to be offensive twards. Just a statement.
Just like "Cant stand the heat get out the kitchen."

Hey man, nice avatar :thumbsup:

One could go so far as to say that my avatar is offensive because it promotes Jesus Christ and Christianity. I know that isn't quite the same thing, but you get the idea. I'm sure 99% of the guys on this board are heterosexual and enjoy a beautiful woman, but I think there are, as some have put it, more tasteful ways to express yourself and represent yourself (as an avatar is designed to do) on the board.

Agreed.
 
Cuffs said:
Also, one good point was brought up. What if WranglerGirl uploaded a dude swinging his shlong for her avatar? I really don't want to be seeing that. Hell, look at the responses towards the first one Methyl1 had. I know I can turn off the avatars, but I have grown used to identifying certain people just by the pics.

Now, my girl is all class...LOL. :D
Click to expand...

I heard my name......First i can asure you i would never upload a picture of someone's shlong.....to me some things are meant for the bedroom, I am not offended at any avatars on AM, although i may disagree with some of them.....But hey its America, freedom of speech and all.( besides I still remember when I got blasted for posting something in General chat, so I am careful what i post and what I say)...........Just my 2 cents.....
 
I have noticed lately a trend. Some members avatars are again becoming quite revealing. I thought I would bump this thread to remind the old members and inform the new ones.

It is not about censorship, personal values or morality. The fact is that we all are not college folks viewing the board in our dorm rooms with our buddies or at our bachelor(ette) pads. Some of us are married folks with small children who may wander over to ask Daddy (or Mommy) a question. I would rather not have them run across some of these avatars displayed on my monitor.

Not preaching, just reminding. Tasteful, less revealing is always acceptable.

Thanks.

believe it or not we do have women on the site guys and some might feel that the site is hostile towards women with these types of AV's...

i apprecitate that you are so considerate towards the women that are on the forums (even though there are jsut a few of us) :). thank you.

i personally dont get offended at all towards "adult themed/ barely clothed women". my fiance goes on here and i have NO issues whatsoever with him looking at other women here or in real life....but at the same time, i do not take offense to such things easily. appreciating the female form is not degrading at all to me, just bashing intelligence, hypocritical standards, etc.... those bother me. other than that, its "all good".

thats just my own personal opinion though
 
I can understand B's point about av's and children.

But, most of the people complaining (for lack of a better term) about av's are talking about interfering with work.
I belive 'class' was even brought up regarding that.

I mean, come on. Really now.

Class (or integrity for that matter) would be not cheating your boss and company by surfing on Anabolicminds.com (unless your job was a trainer at a gym or something or you owned the board).

Please, don't use the argument that av's should be changed from naked/semi-naked women because you don't want your co-workers to see them.
Go do some real work.
 
I dont mind scantily clad ladies, etc. But I dont think people should be using explicit stuff in their avatars, there's a place for pics like that and its the Adult Content forum:D

Old thread, I know, but since B bumped it I'll add my 2 cents.

I hope we never restrict shots such as bikini pictures. If I were to put a pic of Ronnie as my avatar, I would hope that it wouldn't be removed because of his lack of clothing. I think the best rule of thumb is keeping the pictures in good taste.

that is what the adult content forum is and can be for...if either males or females are so inclined.

of course...

i honestly havent seen anything too explicit....at least that i can remember
 
I have yet to see an avatar that made me say that does not belong here or changed my impression of this forum...

I agree Max Silver avatar is awsome...That is no way offensive..
 
Nude photos, explicit or not, offensive or not and or otherwise should be kept to the adult content forum and out of avatars.

All avatars should be VH related. I'm sure that B5150 will back me up on this:D

Of course I would. But we would likely need to hear Mrs. Gimpy's opinion on the matter. :blink:
 
Mrs. Gimpy! said:
um...what is "vh related" referring to?

Van Halen. Geez woman.

Damn I'm such a whore (not the "dirty little" kind that Beez refers to himself as) and Drew is my biatch.
 
Depictions of sex acts need to be kept out of avatars and in the adult content forum.

FYI: bigmontel, your avatar is gone.

I would imagine that blatantly racist avatars would not be tolerated here either.

It's funny how we're more bothered by sex acts and naked people, than by murder and brutality. At least in the movies, two naked people having sex earns an NC-17 rating, but if you blow somebody's face off with a shotgun, you only get and "R" rating.

LOL My wife walked by while I was reading this thread and she saw CDBs avatar, said "Nice looking girls." and kept walking. Each person reacts differently.

Personally I never had an avatar and never saw the point so if ya don't like em I say turn them off. Heck at one point I got so sick of some major posters that I probably had half the members posts hidden from me when I read the threads. :rofl:

I had NO idea that could be done! ... Which definately explains a few things Im sure:run:
 
well, i wonder who brought this back from the deads but as long a its here i'll pay my 0.02

I have kids and job, at home i wouldnt like any of my kids to see a nude. explicit material and at work i'm on AM all the time but i dont have lot people coming in to my office all the time, so i'm fine with eye candy Avatars when I'm ON cycle and its not proper when I'm Off :think::blink: :D


But in general, it would really look very classy if no porn or nude Pic avatars are available ( BTW, I'm off currently ):D
