THE BEST SUGGESTION THIS SITE WILL EVER HAVE:

PLEASE MAKE A /NSFW/ BOARD TO SEPARATE THE PORN THREADS FROM SIBERIA, IT'S DISGUSTING!!!! it's disgusting specially for people who visit /siberia/ for other threads such as the royal colony(doesn't matter if it's has softcore porn in it, it is ignorable and it is mainly for aesthetical/memey purposes anyways) and also other threads as well.

I feel like the mods have to bleach their eyes everytime they have to moderate siberia and see a goatsee equivalent every nanosecond there. mods, do yourselves a favor if you value your eyes lol.

thanks for listening to my honest REACTION of visiting siberia

>It's le gross
While I'm in favor of a /nsfw/ simply because there's enough threads to justify it's own board, this however is a stupid excuse for it, and probably a reason to keep things as is.
Sex positivity, and especially kink positivity is like citronella candles, keeping the chvds and corps away. You might not like the smell of citronella, but at least you aren't being mosquito bitten as much.

1. Why are you sex repulsed, consider if your reasons are reactionary in nature. The way you worded it suggest they are
2. Why do you feel like framing your suggestion through such language is going to help get your suggestion get approved, knowing this is a leftist website?

I'm not against none of that and all of this is good for the people that enjoy this stuff, hence why I'm not against it BUT I think they should have their own space for it, to separate it from people who do not want to engage in those threads and from people who get genuinely disgusted, it would be better for both sides that like porn and dislike porn

>See above. You only need to look and click near the spoilered OP post.
I mean, it isn't 100% reliable since luck also comes into play since there could be one OP post not yet spoilered in time by a mod when accessing the catalog, because sometimes some OPs won't spoil their posts

why not just use a terminal web browser like elinks? it's a text based browser but i dunno if it will be able to make a post on this site, but it's also lame since you have to use mpv –vo=tct –loop <link-to-image> in another tty to make images barely visible with ascii characters simulating the pixels of the images

During summer & fall when the CP / soyjak spam gets more frequent, or when some filetype related news made me resent the existence of .webp, I would toggle off .webp in my about:config, which also hid thumbnails on here.

Sharing nsfw art is a sign of a community that is capable of being normal about sex without devolving into puritainism (aka the root of anti-intellectualism, which itself is the root of reactionism)

Porn isn't allowed on /leftypol/, this is about /siberia/ and the /alt/ boards.

 No.31796

The pornography pollution has become quite degradatory to the site's quality, and the boards' rules are not enforced evenly. Coomer shit should not be out in the open on boards that are part of the SFW overborad. Don't the mods have thepower to spoiler those posted?

 No.31798

HOT-TAKE LEFTYPOL NEEDS TO HEAR BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A FACT:



It actually excludes/distances ace(asexual) people ( https://lgbtqia.fandom.com/wiki/Asexual ) from your site if you don't have porn separated in a safe manner like in a /nsfw/ board, so that people will only see porn if they want to, and not on accident.

shouldn't a leftist forum be inclusive? because having porn everywhere is actually a way of excluding ace(asexual) people from this site(ace people that does not want to only talk about politics in /leftypol/ but also visit the rest of the site like /siberia/ and etc)

it should be inclusive for both people that does like porn and for people that dislike porn as well.

this is real constructive criticism, no jokes.

 No.31799

>>31795
>Porn isn't allowed on /leftypol/, this is about /siberia/ and the /alt/ boards.

I think the staff of this site is stupid, for putting energy into moderating porn boards. This is why I said, just ban it completely. Coomers on this site probably don't even contribute to leftypol, so why maintain this filth? It's like dedicating a board just for spam.

 No.31800

Quit pushing this asexuality = hyper-disgust meme. The two are unrelated and you have asexuals who are repulsed by genitalia and sex in the same proportions as other people, with the rest having no effect when observing it.

 No.31801

>>31800
>quit pushing this asexuality = hyper-disgust meme
except I'm not? where did you even assume that from? my reaction is one thing, don't generalize my reaction like wtf

>[rest of the reply]

…and yes, both asexuals and sexuals can be disgusted just as much, the difference is that one feels sexual attraction and the other does not, your point?(P.S: you don't need to state the obvious).
and it is not even my point at all, it is not about being grossed out or not, it is about the exclusion. which… you are kind of doing right now…

and saying that someone would literally not get affected after seeing hardcore porn is just blasphemy, if it was softcore then it would make sense for someone to not be affected. like stfu

 No.31802

No, not a nsfw board.
All explicit images should be spoilered though.

 No.31803

>>31792
I think it would be better if porn was only visible inside the /nsfw/ board, but outside of it like in overboard/catalog, the images of /nsfw/ would be all spoiled or posts would be hidden+spoiled so that people would have to actively have the /nfsw/ board tab open to be able to see porn on this site instead of relying on the overboard in which posts of /nsfw/ would either be hidden or completely spoiled outside of /nsfw/.

sex and porn are two different things, sex isn't pornographic, it's the act. being normal about sex would make sense if it were IRL in a nightclub, which is a completely different thing from doing it on an internet forum, which is like sitting in a chair and typing/posting content, completely different. sorry to break the fourth wall/immersion of this site for a moment there.
>puritanism
puritanism is a religious thing and this site isn't religious in the slightest, neither am I.

pls lets keep it respectful, the anon actually gave a honest opinion here



>>31805
the raiders would disobey that though, actually I think the raiders would do it regardless of anything put into practice anyways… but I think this >>31803 approach would be better since people inside /nsfw/ wouldn't have to worry/learn about spoiling their posts, it would be easier to moderate too(but the raiders would simply post gore or whatever anywhere anyways…)



also vote for the /nsfw/ board everyone!! :
https://strawpoll.com/1MnwOVG35n7

 No.31807

>>31801
>it is about the exclusion
Since you agreed that not every assxual would be repulsed by porn, then your complaint here doesn't make sense. The presence of something cannot be exclusionary unless it's offending, unlike the absence of something. It would be exclusionary if /siberia/ was a pure porn board, and likewise if it was a SFW board. But it isn't either of these.
This is the basic assumptive rationale for why every /b/ on imageboards allow both categories of porn and non-porn posts btw. I can't believe I have to spell this out loud since it's assumed everyone knows it.

 No.31808

>>31807
If a site is distancing people away because they're getting absolutely disgusted isn't exclusionary then idk what is.

like ok sure not all ace people are repulsed by porn, but I am, and literally anyone that isn't somehow desensitized (probably by watching porn frequently + also someone must feel sexual attraction to do that in the first place) would be grossed out by hardcore porn, so it is still exclusionary. it does make sense to also include ace people on my complaint because you literally have to be somehow desensitized from watching hardcore porn in the first place(like why would you do that?).

 No.31809

like why would you intentionally desensitize yourself to literal hardcore porn like goatsee equivalent just to not get grossed out? it literally doesn't make sense

This is a general purpose imageboard prominently featuring a leftist political discussion forum, and rules that are conductive to that which apply to all boards, creating a novel environment to discuss a wide range of topics. Particularly art, which one must allow nsfw content to get a full picture of.

Your argument holds for live action stuff, since there's not really anything to discuss there–exceptions would need to be made for artistic nudity, as well as a clearly defined way to differ it from porn–but you're being disingenuous trying to pretend there is such thing a hard political / apolitical dichotomy–that there cannot be useful discussions that emerge from the later into the former, and you are being immature by calling it gross or calling any who engage in such gross in doing so.

>>31833
I think the hypthetical /nsfw/ board would be about as active as /tech/, given current nsfw activity on /siberia/, while the remaining activity would put it on par with /leftypol/. It'd be fine. Don't most people here use the overboard anyway?

I mean sure it's novel to see the bump order popcorn around for a while, but on the other end you get stuff like 4chan where a thread can fall into the void in like 5 minutes and no one bothers to effortpost.

Does vichan support excluding boards from the overboard? Even /dead/ shows up on it. Don't remember if /gulag/ used to back when it was still up. Or is overboard just a naming convention and it'd be like /sfw/ (which I assume this addition would debrecate) and /alt/. A comprehensive feed would still have use tho, what would that be called? /all/ looks too much like /alt/.

even then: you don't want to drive off channers, you want to bring them in (with the wider appeal of the site as a better discussion board than *chans) while stripping the site itself of fealty to "chan culture", leaving behind a growing site independent of western imageboard culture at large.

remember: a website shapes its userbase far more than vice versa.
