(135,425 posts)and not have it infest GD. And that includes those who like their "cover the candy" beefcake pictures as well as those who think half naked female behinds are "art."
I'd simply like to see GD become GD again. I don't think that will happen, but that's what I'd like. No Show Biz Unless Really Big News....that kind of thing.
People forget that in the days of the moderators, despite the admontion of "no sex threads," that this kind of shit went on all the time--and it wasn't just those sexist men who were doing it, either.
I thought it was kinda dumb back then, too, but no one got pissed off about it. It was much easier to ignore.
If this brou-ha-ha keeps the site operating as a consequence of page hits, well, that's a benefit, I suppose. I'm just tired of the perpetual outrage in GD. Between boobs in space and guns, it's like a parody of itself.
