Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club

[Alone055]

Didn’t know foxes had 8 nipples!

Only the red ones. Some might even have up to 16.

What I didn't expect is for some in the merit cycling club to become so defensive.

Do note that I neither became defensive nor engaged in roasting any part of you, even though you overlooked my inclusion in the Merry Psycho Cunt initially.

Also note that I read threads backwards and is the reason why I'm just now responding to this here post.

Tainted Love, eh?  I read somewhere that the lead singer of Soft Cell (Marc Almond) was into some seriously kinky BDSM activity during the band's heyday.  There's some irony here, though the electromagnet in my head doesn't seem to be turned on; I can't find the switch; and I will leave it to the more perceptive to decipher what it is that I may or may not be saying.

I would like to answer with a famous saying from my area
l'uccello in gabbia canta per invidia o per rabbia - the caged bird sings out of envy or anger

of course i mantain italian version for understand the rime bbia

in any case these outbursts of envy always make me laugh a lot

I didn't understand any of it. However, I am okay. I'm not sure if you compared Foxpup to a caged bird. I didn't understand what you were trying to explain very well. As you probably mentioned in another thread, you and sarcasm don't mix well. Similarly, I often struggle to understand when people speak metaphorically. Regardless of what I said, I stand by it. If she has enough money and chooses to spend it to satisfy herself, then why not? She is not harming anyone in the forum.

in fact I didn't compare foxpup to the angry bird that sings in a cage
I compared those who have something to say about what he does
the angry bird in the cage sings angrily out of envy

I repeat, everyone is free to do what they want until their freedom meets mine, so threads like this are useless in my opinion

I expected to get roasted for posting this, especially by suckups who don't want to jeopardize their merit train.  What I didn't expect is for some in the merit cycling club to become so defensive.

Am I judgemental?  Of course I am.  Should you care what I think?  No, you shouldn't.  I certainly don't care what's thought of me by a bunch of immoral and ethicless individuals on the Sodom and Gomorrah of internet forums.  We seem to have it all here, gambling, usury, and pornography.  I hope you're proud of how progressive you've all become.

I got into bitcoin to help elevate humanity, end our dependence on Centralized Banking, reduce the power of corruption, end the slave trade otherwise known as "corporate jobs."  I've been blessed immeasurably by my adaptation.  Of course I'm aware of it's uses in illicit and unfavorable trades.  Freedom is an inherent part of our humanity.  We're all free to choose between the path of Supreme Guidance or that of evil.

I asked my question and got my answer.  I considered locking this thread, but I think I'll leave it open and let y'all continue to amuse yourselves at my your own expense.  But, I will ask one more, although rhetorical question before I leave you to it:  

Do any of you have daughters?

From what I've been able to deduce in all you've said from the op till now is that you can't appreciate humour and I doubt you have a humour bone in you. Heck, life's too short to take it too seriously. You have come up here to spew justice like Paul back when he was Saul and persecuting the christians thinking he was doing something good. It may no relate to you but the fact still remains that you're being too judgmental with the whole thing but if you could just get off your high horse, you'd find that all your presumptions about what Foxpup's Merit cycling club is really about are just presumptions cooked up by you.

The person in question has deigned to give you a response, a brief summary of what goes on over there since it appears you're not just curious but are downright accusatory but your desperate need to keep this forum so clean and rid of Sodomites as you put it is what's stopping you from seeing the explanation.

(Not that I would have answered; I don't like the idea of other people being less confused about my gender than I am. That just wouldn't be fair.)

@OP, I’ve been seeing the fox-on-a-bicycle avatar for years and never thought there was anything sexual about it. I’m not into pornography, but to me, it just looks like a normal, harmless image -- obviously nothing like Vod’s avatar with the guy licking his own nipple .

I also don’t believe any of the fine gentlemen or women using it are trying to promote anything inappropriate. It’s just a way for them to earn a bit of extra income from an idea that started years ago during the Cryptohunter era.

Doesn't porn mean having two or more people/animals indulged in intimate physical activities? Or even if it's one person/animal, there should at least be some tool/toy or hands involved that are being used to achieve pleasure. Mere nudity, especially in case of animals, shouldn't be considered porn since they don't wear any clothes anyway.

Now, even if that cycle has something fixed in its seat, we can't know and hence can't assume that there is, because it has no visibility for us.

What the op what's to make the pic on Foxpup's profile look less sexual is for the animal to where clothes and continue her cycling. At least, running shorts would help preserve his eyes from viewing that ungodly pic. I really don't understand how the picture looks sexual though. No matter how I turn my phone, I'm still not grabbing.

I’ve never watched cartoon or animal porn, to be honest, and I still don’t see any pornish characteristics in the image. You made me doubt my sanity, so I had to ask AI

No, the logo shown in the image is **not sexualized** by any reasonable standard. It features a cartoon fox riding a bicycle with the text “**FOXPUP'S MERIT CYCLING CLUB**.” The fox and bicycle are illustrated in a simple, playful, and non-provocative style. There's nothing in the imagery, text, or context that suggests sexualization.

The design appears to be intended for fun and community identity, likely for a group or initiative on the Bitcointalk forum centered around the sharing or “cycling” of merit points.

I don't think so or rather I have never seen it in that way for once. All I see is a fox on his cycling bike.

I would've known because I am someone moved by even the slightest things relating to that

Finally, a reasonable utility for AI.

To be fair, the fox is naked. Don't see any clothes on it. I have seen the picture of the fox with the many nipple tassles; once you see it, you can't forget it.

To address what seems to be becoming a point of confusion, the avatar is entirely non-pornographic, contrary to OP's assertion that it is somehow "sexualised". If you find yourself spending a little too much time thinking about the saddle's proximity to my naked sweaty hind parts, that's on you. (Well, unless you were thinking about that one time I suffered an anatomically implausible cycling accident, but that was fillippone's fault, not mine. )

The actual pornography associated with the Merit Cycling Club is typified by the celebratory anniversary threads I post every year, most recently this one (NSFW). Admittedly it's just my fursona posing suggestively, but I think this particular suggestion is sufficient to meet the criteria for pornography (certainly I agree that mere nudity doesn't).

in my long experience, I just think that those who have problems with something tend to take the prohibition to extremes
for example, I'm comfortable joking about sexual misunderstandings with males, since I'm completely comfortable with homosexuals
only those who have a sort of frustration feel, so to speak, offended by light-hearted (not heavy) jokes and pranks

life is shit enough not to take ourselves, our bodies and our sexuality lightly and make fun of it.

in fact I don't get offended if they make fun of me slightly (in a good-natured way) on the contrary I laugh heartily if the jokes are witty and refined

this is my point of view of course

Why spend time clarifying your fetishes and confusion about what is/isn't sexual about your online persona over responding to what actually means something to this community? Did you not see this post, or did you intentionally ignore it?

I believe that at least one high ranking individual is being paid to wear that avatar, but apparently others are wearing it to promote whatever this represents.

Actually, you've got it backwards. Nearly everyone wearing that avatar is being paid to do so, and only a few have ever worn simply to promote whatever it represents. Even though all it represents is a practical joke that got way out of hand. It's just a friendly jab at those who accuse high-ranking forum members of merit cycling, that's all.

I'm confused. You say "accuse" as if it's not true that high-ranking forum members cycle merits between each other when:

1) You said that is what is done. It doesn't seem like a joke in this post: 

YOU (A MERIT SOURCE) gives Merits to Other Sources... And Vice Versa??? A looping of Merits within the sources?

Yes, although it isn't strictly necessary for either of the parties involved to be sources; it's just easier for sources since they have more merits to cycle.

2) bpip strongly validates what you said here

Though let me be clueless for a moment and just ask some clueless questions, as if I just got here and believe that the merit cycling club is nothing more than a joke, and that you care about the integrity of the mechanisms that rank people in this community:

1. Do you think that merit abuse is a real thing and that (high ranking) members are farming alt accounts for profit through things such as signature campaigns?
2. Do you think that merit abuse is a real problem that has enabled bad people to become influential/profit excessively from the forum?
3. If you think either of the above are true, who do you think are the culprits?

Since you are someone who has been on the forum for so long (and clearly has an influence over many of the high-ranking members) it would be good to have some genuine and serious insight from you.
