Pedobear and other child porn innuendos.

When you're an Admin, or a mod of whatever forum I'm bitching and moaning about, then I'll consider listening to you. Until then, as far as I'm concerned, you're just the kid who used to live around the corner from me.

If its only Mods and Admins opinions that matter, why the fúck would anyone listen to you, after all your just a kid around the corner like the rest of us now.

Grow up!

Is it too late to reference the semi-nude photo of yourself that is still floating around After Hours somewheres? A public forum and a pubic photo in public (allegedly) no less for a charity that supported children.

So I am a bit surprised and forgive me that this thread is coming from you, Terry, as if out of the blue. You had another thread recently where you wanted to instigate the same annual tradition for the 3rd year in a row. My point being what exactly would you determine is The Line when it comes to Boards' public forums?

Just back from the reported posts forum - there was a lot more rantworthy things in that post than that It's certainly not as bad as other stuff (like the holy vaginas pic) that was posted recently.

Note to other mods - don't search for 'cool vids' in reported posts if you've recently eaten.

In my opinion, I think its beneficial to society to make jokes abut rape, child porn, incest etc. etc., about any taboos.

For too long has any mention of these types of taboo been swept under the carpet to such an extent that it was believed impossible that a "man of the cloth" could molest a child, and thus the child be sent back to the priest to apologise for accusing him - and further subjected to abuse. See here

The court heard that when one boy told his parents about the abuse, they viciously beat him. “How can you say that about a man of God, a man of the cloth?” they asked him before sending him back down to Walsh who again molested him.

Now that these subjects are entering society albeit in the form of comedic entertainment, still, I think its important in making it clear that this type thing exists and needs not be ignored or believed impossible.

As far as I know, pedobear hasn't leapt off the web page and raped an actual child.

No, but he was adapted for the silver screen

Anyone who is more offended by a naked, ugly fat man than a child being molested really needs their head checked.

Interesting, was it a picture of child pornography or a "buttsecks" photo. Because of the 3 things you're actually talking about: A picture of Child Pornography, A photo of a naked man, and a photo of a pedobear meme or similar, I rate them in that same order of vulgarity. 2 girls 1 cup is in there somewhere too. Arguably none of those things belong in AH or Cool Vids.

I'd view that as akin to saying that the dude with cp on his hard drive hasn't physically abused any children.

Except that for our purposes, the ownership of childporn is in fact illegal.

As for looking for AH mods to do the same, well, they're AH mods. They are not children.
It's not like I went to the Junior Cert forum looking for 15 year olds to get naked. We're talking about grown men and women here. Not children.

Yet still within the parameters of a public forum: the context of your OP "crap allowed on public forums on boards". I argue that if you think the pedobear should stay in nein11 I'm fine with that but you also have to accept this fake-or-not nude photo business needs to go private also.

As much as I like the philosophy of Parker and Stone, I disagree with their 'everything or nothing' view on things.

There are things which should never be mocked. Child abuse is one of those things.
I'm not trying to be a moral guardian on what should and should not be mocked, but I do stand firm on the fact that child abuse should never be something to joke about, and that's where pedobear comes into play (no pun intended).

I don't think Child Molestation would be as active a topic within online communities if it weren't for Pedobear. Parker and Stone both know that through humour we end up talking about things. So did Dave Chappelle, and a hundred others before them. You know there are actually some topics one can be educated on by watching South Park? Far out there, I know. And don't forget that violence and film and movies used to be really conservative, but then again so was our understanding of War.

For those who find it humourous, I worry for you and the fate of your children.
You people sicken me.

Such anger and bile: I have to ask what the hell hath set you off? At least when I blew my lid about the US-bigotry everybody saw it coming. This is strong and sudden for you.

Snyper, I haven't contacted you directly about it, but I did once PM DeVore when you had offered to do something (can't remember what) for SSF, saying I thought it was inappropriate, given your penchant for joking about paedophilia, and the fact that the charity involves children. He didn't agree with me.

Just a FYI, that perhaps not everyone who hates it is going to contact you.

I am obviously in a minority, but I think it's crass and tasteless.

-

I accept that not everyone that dislikes that type of humour and finds it offensive will make a point of it. Ironically, i disagree with you that you are in a minority infact i would think that most people wouldnt find a joke about Michael Jackson funny - i do.

If there is thread about a local situation in this country about a rape or case of pedophilia, you wont see a joke from me, if you search through it enough you will see what my real opinion about pedophiles and rapists are- I am one who harbours alot of anger toward certain types of people, rapists and people who harm children in any way are those that push my buttons - Larry Murphy - while all the media hype has died down, angers me - but i have learned through the years to deflect thinking about things like this too much by joking about them.

Joking about things is my way of dealing with things-

A person very very close to me was raped some years ago - another close friend, was molested by their grandfather many times when she was a child. Sitting drinking socially in at home, listening to their storys went beyond anger - i cried.

I cried that i had such a fortunate upbringing i am blessed that i was insulated from things like this - i have to deal with it by making light of it - other wise it eats me up inside. Im not using this as a qualification that i understand - i cant even begin to - but its certainly not a case that im unaware of it and dont have to in some way deal with it without wanting to find that person and kill them.

I have bi polar depression, ive been close to the door of suiside on a number of occasions (thankfully years ago) and ive been to Hospital at my lowest point. I choose to on certain occasions make jokes about suicide, and "Mental" Hospitals, because i have to. I have been critisised for it, but if you have walked in my shoes you would understand the "what ever works for you" excuse. Ive been very open about my depression, and ive often had pm's sent to me by members of the site that asked me for some advice, and ive always always helped -


Look, most of the "Snyper" pedo rapist stuff that is posted now doesnt come from me - its as if any time there is a thread about a child or a rape in AH the "where's snyper" reply is given.

I do appreciate that it's crass and tasteless to some / many, but ive found that i just need to find an escape in things. If i dont that guy inside me that starts punching walls and putting my fist through doors starts to win again - my prsi contributions dont cover hospital visits anymore.

Again, if ive offended you, i apologise - im not offering excuses to appease anyone, you can take what ive said here as a mere excuse, but the one thing i have always been when making a serious point (even on the internet) is sincere.

Perhaps the way i am isnt the best way to make friends or endear people toward me - having been through my battles with my own head and my own self confidence issues ive learned to disregard the negatives and embrace the positive feedback, as ive got older ive learned to manage both the good and bad, but ive done alright, ive met some nice people on this forum and inperson and im pretty much a similar person in ways in real life. My fiance is aware of this snyper chap, she doesnt quite approve - but she accpets the escapism that it brings.
