Intergalactic Summit

This condemnation is worthless without pictures. Please attach the material in question so that we can all learn to recognise distateful blasphemy when we see it, and avoid it in future.

On the IGS of all places. Public shame to the family brings public shame from the family.

I refuse to believe this until I've examined the evidence.

Glad we got the mature Matari' opinion on the matter.

For once, I approve your statement Rodj, I too want a copy to examine to be sure, this is indeed not of an artful nature. I would be remiss to blindly agree to denouncing something as pornographic without a thorough investigation.

Close enough.

Then you have some of the Minmatar designs where I looked at it and said to myself "Stabber? I know what this stabs."

That being said, the crew aboard Stabbers are good folk and having flown a Stabber for a bit, I have nothing but respect for them.

Also, I have to say that the girl knew what she was getting into. Do I think its a bit overboard? Sure. But all the same, things such as that Independent Movie, are against cultural norms.


Also, yes, most of the Amarr ships look pretty phallic to me.

I thought you would be pleased with the comment, Lady Goldcore.

If it makes you feel better, think of it as one more reason you need to enslave my kind and further our development as mature human beings....

It's all a bit academic really. I guess my point was that if everything else in your society is designed like a sexual fetish object, you don't really need pornography.

Also, publicly announcing reputation-cleansing activities is actually a really bad way to cleanse your reputation.

I can provide the immature Matari opinion, but you should be warned ahead of time that it involves fart jokes and horrible innuendo.

That's because it's a massively non-useful dead horse go-nowhere discussion.

I get a furniture catalogue sent to me by email, I see furniture. Someone else with a furniture fetish (probably an Amarrian) gets the same catalogue sent to them and sees arousal material. To them, it's porn. To me, it's shopping. Likewise, some people like to watch holoreels of adults in consenting reproductive situations. I really don't. To them, that's porn. To me, it's either comedy or tragedy, or in some cases horror - but it's definitely not porn.

There's just nothing more to say about this beyond "I like X, you like Y, so what of it'. Pornography, like art, is 100% in the eye of the beholder, so you can't ever really make any sensible or useful conclusions from this question.

And kicking the girl out of the family for stashing a bit of film seems a bit harsh, but then, we are talking Amarr here, so I guess whatever. I'm sure the family will sort it out somehow. Or maybe they wont. In any event, there are more important things to think about. Like what I'm having for dinner tonight. Who votes that I start a cooking thread?
