Random NSFW pic (warning) - Page 2

Bullitt · 11-23-2010, 01:13 PM

UT: I've seen other forums that have this "spoiler" button you can use in posts to hide potentially offensive material like this within posts, forcing the reader to click on the button to view the image after entering the thread. Prevents the reader from being smacked in the face by an image like that when you just want to read replies. Any chance of that becoming an option for stuff like this?

Pass.

exactly.

Ok, the pic is (to me, anyway) obviously a crime scene photo, which definitely would not be 'gratuitous'. This use of the pic may be...

I don't find it in particularly good taste, but, I think I can handle it. A little shock and awe never hurt nobody.

tell Iraq that shit

skysidhe · 11-23-2010, 02:34 PM

What's the story anyway?

Just shock and awe?

He just wanted to look at dead kid pics and this one touched his heart? His heart? What does that mean? He felt bad? Was pissed about it? or was this one out of many that just struck a cord. Touched his heart as in, hit that sweet spot?

It's sick and after 54 some posts later my instincts are confirmed.

Obviously it is a crime scene photograph.
Obviously I meant the posting of the pic is gratuitous, seeing as this is not the "Discuss early 20th C forensic photography" thread.

Gratuitous:
Not called for by the circumstances; uncalled-for; without reason, cause, or proof; adopted or asserted without any good ground; unjustified.

not *may be*, is.

I'm with the crowd on this. There is no content here outside of shock and that isn't the cellar niche. He's gonna have to get his shit together or we'll have to start the discussion about thread starting rights.

watch douche bags defend him/her.

Isn't that the vast majority of photos on the Cellar? An LOLcat is gratuitous. The entirety of the WTF, WTF NSFW threads would be gratuitous.

I understand and respect your opinion/reasoning, I just disagree with dismissing the photo as completely useless and without worth.

Really? Because some of us disagree on the social usefulness of a photograph? Gonna burn some books later?

Speaking as a poster that has had more than one Dwellar jump down my throat over a photo, Ima defend this guy. Freedom of speech, or something. Proper thread placement not withstanding.

Foohzy ain't stirred up near as much shit as some of the rest of us have. And no one wanted to curtail their/our Cellar rights. If it's happened since I've been here, I ain't seen it, and I've witnessed some Dwellars get positively vitriolic and quite personal with other Dwellars.

I disagree here, somewhat, also. The WTF thread, well, I see no way around it, that's shock. Of a different degree, yes, but, shock nonetheless. The WTF NSFW thread? Shock.

Ya can't sanction Foohzy for offending our personal sensibilities. I think there is a certain value in just that trait.

The problem isn't that he posted a pic Grav, it's that he posted it in Image of the Day.
