Your P. MSG might be.

I thought it was nicer than my old one, since I'm giving out compliments. Guaranteed! My p. msg. used to be just "I like boobs." Is that better?

What if someone had a p. msg. that was "Anything's a dildo, if you're brave enough." with this avatar? Would that be NSFW or could it even be NSFL if you think about it?

Hello everyone,

Someone made me aware of this thread via PM.  I have seen someone devoid of any sense of humour (Yes I'm British so it's spelled in the queens English) has moaned about my avatar.

Let the word twisting games begin. I will not participate though.

D:  If this avatar offends, scares or worries you then you need to turn off your computer, go out and meet females.  Honestly, they won't kill you (Mostly!)

Just because someone has a different opinion than you have, does not make them a loner. Besides that, we are talking about whether or not the avatar is safe for work. Personally attacking the person that has a different opinion about it than you have is not discussing a topic, its trolling. You clearly stated your opinion, even though it was already clear without you writing a single word.

If those with delicate principles and fascist bosses, can't handle bigbitmine's cartoon girl avatar, then wait 'til they get a load of me.

Now thinking ahead of time and trying to understand the feelings someone else might have when confronted with the picture in question is fascist. If I could have imagined what this topic brings to light I would have started something similar way earlier. This is very enlightening.

Fruits are typically considered safe for work. Your intent is very obvious, but the melons are not pictured as sexually aroused. I think you get the difference.

Edit:
Let me get something cleared up here. Im not trying to take away or outlaw your sexual fantasies. I merely asked whether displaying them in a discussion board might be considered inappropriate esp. considering that these boards might be read in a variety of places. Id ask you to consider the thoughs going to your daughters minds when confronted, the worldview this transfers, but I dont think a serious discussion about this is possible here. Again, thats fine with me, its not like avatars are complicated to hide.

It's not NSFW, as it doesn't contain nudity or pornographic images. You can see this on any beach everywhere every summer.

Right. To me this is worse than bigbitmine's.

Ok you are right but I bet you to work and leave open that profile user, what will think your boss?

Yes, for me it is "not safe for work". If my boss will see this image when I am working I am sure that I'll have some trouble with him.


PS: the image it's nice, but as I said previously it is NSFW.

But in the beach you see hundreds of people, you see the sea, you see the sand, the gulls, the children. It's a matter of focus. This picture is focused in a very specific thing, and that is what makes it NSFW.

Well technically speaking if you're on the forum, then you're not working, so.... that's probably where you'd problems would start.

You don't need nudity to have NSFW content. Also, an office and a beach are totally different environments, and you usually see the rest of the girl anyway.

[BadBear]

I wouldn't consider clothed girls NSFW, I see worse than that all the time in ads. Probably shouldn't be browsing the internet at all if that will get you in trouble. Though historically, theymos and I have somewhat disagreed with regards to NSFW content in the past, so don't take that as a final answer.  

It does say a lot about the user though, so there's that.

I don't see why an ignore avatar function couldn't be included along with ignore signatures if/when it's added.

Not necessarily, If I am working I can surf in the forum (during the breaks) but it depends of what work are you doing.

I think that is a nice avatar and if anyone is offended with that...they need to unplug the internet and read books.

So for you it is safe for work, isn't it? I am not offended with that, it is only NSFW.

Honestly I don't think my avatar is so scandalous 
But if it offends someone I could remove it. Just let me know...

Youd also not go in a bathing slip/suit to work, well unless you work at the beach.

Unless you work as a lifeguard. Even at the beach, people who are working wear a shirt and a short, at least (that sounds funny, though).

To those with a problem there is an ignore button.  I guarantee I won't miss your input!
