Dang so what kicked this off? I haven't seen any blatant pantyshots or anything of that nature.

Also no waifu wars makes me sad. How else can I tell people that Sakura is a shit?
 
Girls und Panzer 12

Panzer vor!

So this was a pretty amusing show. At first because of the somewhat weird premise, but after a few episodes it got amusing on it's own. It's not the funniest show ever though. The tank stuff was mostly good (those first couple of minutes of the first episode excluded), and at least the 3D is not as weird as Love Live. The final battle was really fun to watch and the use of classic war themes in the soundtrack was cool.

All in all I give it 6/8 tanks:

It's been an ongoing brewing issue. I don't think people here have been particularly happy about seeing lewd stuff here and there, or some people opening discussions on the attractiveness of young characters. I just no longer see a reason we need to even try to hold ourselves to a similar standard that other anime communities on the internet have. We should hold ourselves to the same standard we have on the forum itself. If the only reason a person is posting in this thread is to show everyone how perverted they are, then those people can stop posting on this thread.

I dont think anything IVe posted has ever been NSFW with exception of that one link that had a section and I was flippant about it and banned but that was a learning experience.
 
Pretty glad I missed out on whatever that was.


Yowamushi Pedal 36

That was a pretty sweet move Mido pulled off to win the sprint.

Sucks for Hakone, but I really didn't care for "I killed a rabbit now let me angst" guy.

And more manly tears and everyone's favorite Hime Hime~ song

Ive always thought the pictures were linked and labelled appropriately. Now actual discussion of said imagery has gone a bit unchecked.

The practice when you're not looking!


On screen!

I thought you're going to link me to Aki 'Hey Jude' cover.
And now, i want to try Rocksmith game...

After one or two episodes. I didn't like it much.

Chobit is suprisingly a decent sci-fi, though i don't like the ending...

Probably for the best.

Do people really want K-ON to be umpteen hours of the girls practicing scales and such on their instruments?

Well, some of us do.


Now that's some great news!

If people want to talk about their preference of young girls drawn or otherwise, they can talk about it somewhere which is not NeoGAF. If someone wants to post sexy pictures or lewd stuff like panties, bust sizes, or "dat ass" or whatever, they can do so somewhere else which is not NeoGAF. Off-Topic no longer has "Hot Women" or "Hot Men" threads. Image spam for the purpose of self stimulation aid is discouraged throughout the forum. This will be no different. If you want to discuss your sexual fantasies, your fetishes, and what sexual gratification you get from drawn cartoons, you are not welcome to discuss it here.

I completely agree with you, but you know that the bolded isn't the slightest true. Frankly, I'm sick of taking a peek into half the threads around, SportsGAF especially, and see some picture of some women and watch half the members treat her as an object that exists simply for their sexual arousal. It sickens me.

That being said, The AnimeGAF community was relatively easy to get into, compared to some of the other communities. I'd definitely take anything that would continue that ability.

Some more practicing might have been nice, but Yui is really the only one of the five that hadn't played their instrument before. The others were more or less competent musicians.

I'm talking about the actual "Hot [x]" threads which previously existed entirely to spam sexy photos. Those are gone. We are aware that there are issues in many threads still, but it's hard for us to be everywhere. I am simply taking a stand here because I post here and am part of this community and I don't want to see the issue get worse. It's better to make things clear before stuff escalates.

Just like in Soviet Russia, the Stasi can't be everywhere so what duckroll is saying is do your part as a good citizen and act as the Stasi's eye's and ears. Report things you see that are out of line to the overlords and let justice be served in due course.

The World Cup gets downright unreadable at times due to that shit.

So can people no longer post something along the lines of:

"(Show name, episode #)

*Pic of character

(Said character) best girl!"

Even jokingly? Or is it only problematic if it turns into a drawn out waifu war?

I would assume (or hope anyway) that when most people express their admiration for a certain character, female or otherwise, that they are doing so for reasons that extend beyond (or don't even include) the extent to which they stimulate certain unnamed specific parts of the human body.

I don't see a problem with that on its face, but then that's just me.

These guidelines are really not that hard to follow. Just use some common sense and the appropriate filters people.

"If I post this thing, would it make some people uncomfortable/alienate a non-insignificant # of people? If so, do I NEED to post? Can I rework this into a more appropriate way?"

There, easy peasy :)

I think it's more like controversial or objectionable content (esp. having to do with sexuality) is off-limits now.

This includes posting pictures with the sole intent of titillation, or "expressing how x thing in a show is titillating you" being the only meaningful content of a post.

For example, the cnet thing didn't involve any posted pictures;
he essentially said a cameltoe pic/pose of a 12-year-old character in a NGNL episode was a "beautiful thing".

The intent is for AnimeGAF to decidedly not be an environment where people are saying stuff like that. TLDR use your better judgment and you should be fine.
