Yeah, I agree with Mike. You seem to have the idea in your head that if something doesn't appeal to you personally, there's no reason for someone to post it. I honestly cannot comprehend your thought process. Also, how does one "finish" an open topic about viewpoints and opinions? The only thing you'd be finishing is one argument. An argument you started, I might add. Oh well, I'll just be here enjoying this popcorn.
I'm not going to argue about individual tastes in art. Because there is no resolution. It's whatever people like.
Cteno was meant for porn at first. I believe JJ drew her first making her change. Slug felt bad and didn't use her for porn. it's true she is now becoming a part of his porn pictures, but even those she's working in the fake rainbow tentacle office. Cteno wears a thong because that's what he wants to draw on her. I could do the same for my OC platinum, I don't because I don't have a reason to do it. He also has a tumblr that is safe, he never live streams his porn pictures. The only way you will see his picture is if you seek them. There is a reason for safe filtters. In fact alot of artist remove most clop from DA. JJ, slug, smitty put most of it on tumblr. Slug uses his book rainbow tentacle to pay bills. That's why he makes them for money. There is another art book called my little sweatheart, all the money collect from it goes to charity. It's pornagrahpic, does the content matter, no because if you don't like it don't buy it. Virgil I'm not posting clop on this site. Rules bro. -- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums
Chill, dude. Why are you getting so bent out of shape because someone else finds value in something you don't care for? Honestly, you're starting to sound like this:
Don't you just love presumptuous posts? Because, after all, how can my history of posts be at all irrelevant to what is at hand? I mean, really! Clearly I am an individual that is incapable of distinguishing what requires thought out, relevant posts, and what is simply for the lulz. And of course your interpretation of art as a whole and of particular pieces specifically is completely unbiased and, in fact, the only correct one. Now, I would gladly continue this discussion, but I am a person with things to do besides attempting to be inflammatory on the internet, and thus require some amount of sleep. Perhaps you are not cursed with such a foul condition as life. If yes, I beg you to teach me the cure. Enjoy your "artistic porn", then!
I'd also point out the threat to flip the metaphorical table. @Virgil People disagree with each other. Don't be a jerk about it. Sent from my iPod touch 4G using Tapatalk
And nobody is accusing you of anything. You have, of your own volition, participated in this and held out respectably. Stuff like "He hasn't posted in 30 mins, guess I won, Heyuck," sets me off a little so let's digress. Baring the fact that there are safe filters and that there are ways for the child fans of the show to never discover our dark underbelly; why are we so inclined to rush out and gather up the R34s and bring them in? I'm talking in general here. Tintin, for instance, has porn of it on the internet. However, the Fans of Herges don't go running out to these men (don't even) and raise them up on their shoulders and pal around with them like their one-of-us. We're doing that. Why are we doing that? It's one thing to hmm and haw about why anyone would draw porn of x, y, z. It is a whole other scenario to tell me that they have a right to be among us when their work -by definition- does not align with our primary moto. Can you pick out a single image from slugbox that is both clop and loving? If you can, I better run and hide... Like I said; nothing to offer and nothing to stand on. They'll never know I lost if I run awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! You don't fool anyone sweetheart... Also look up the difference between an insult and an adhominem.
Sorry, couldn't resist another post. I'll keep it short, besides. Our primary motto is "Love and Tolerance". HOW does r34 contradict this in any way? I am genuinely interested in your logic here, if any.
And then the Virgil spoke in his mighty words, That upon the internet there may be found, The content pornographic in nature, And the masses gasped in disbelief. They could never have fathomed of such a possibility, But as kindly as a mother feeds her child from her bosom, Virgil fed knowledge unto the hungry masses of the thread, And they praised and rejoiced their new found knowledge, Knowing it to be clean and pure.

It's not that simple Grey...and all the cute gif posts aren't going to non-epistemically wave this away. This isn't a disagreement that this or that fetish artist is better because of their smut-to-D'Aaaaw ratio is in question. It goes all the way back to my previous posts on what we stand for. Like it or not, you are judged by the company we keep. So I will ask you, Why are we playing into the hands of Fox-so-called-news?
I'd like to point out there's probably R34 of the Fox News station out there. Saikyo's controbution: Let me post my opinion on the whole R34 and Cloppers thing: Virgil (DANTE!) is partially correct; some aspects of R34 are disturbing. The site was created to be SFW at heart, and the R34 being exchanged in private messages became a problem. However, I admire certain pieces of R34, specifically because it is either appealing to the eye, arousing, or both. If it is appealing to the eye, then, by definition, R34 is art, end of topic, discussion, etc. It is all in the eye of the beholder. So you should stop arguing and anticipate the new episode. <3 Sent from my iPod touch 4G using Tapatalk
To put it in the old 4chan way, >Implies I care what people think of me. Incidentally, this brings me to my very first post of this thread. Why does this thread exist? I thought we agree already that we all don't care what people do. Quoted poster excluded, apparently.
We? What's this we you're talking about? All I see is you talking about you and what you stand for. We, as bronies, stand for, as cliche as it sounds repeated endlessly, love and tolerance for all. It's kind of, you know, the brony motto. That includes people and things some may find questionable or odd, including clop and clop artists. We are judged by the company we keep? Are you implying that clop artists are bad people simply by nature of being clop artists? What kind of logic is that? I'm quite confident that they're fine people, same as any of us, and as such, I'd be happy to have them in my company. And don't even bring Fox News into this. If they want to make bronies look bad, it's not difficult to do. They're experts at twisting facts around to suit their needs. All they'd need to hear is that grown men like a show for little girls and they'd be able to write scandal piece about bronies being pedophiles.
Finally I would like to point out that everything is relative. If person A considers something art, But person B does not, It is no less art in the mind of person A, Regardless of person B's viewpoint. Sent from my iPod touch 4G using Tapatalk
You just skipped over my posts, I assumed you had nothing to say to them, like the one where I talked about what I like about slugs work. I like the little heyuck there, it's cute. So, you think that because of the content of slug's art he shouldn't be a brony, I guess this applies to the ones that enjoy it to. How does love and tolerance go into art. Have you seen some of the art, you know grimdark and the like. That's not loving, but it's still art by bronies. It's sounds like you're being an elitist brony, picking whats right and wrong. Still not gonna post clop, against the rules bro. I'm not rising slug above others. I like other artist just as much, mysticalpha, swaetshirt and the paragon.
Oh goodness Grey, are we really going to throw out verifiable reality in favor of how we feel? Here we have a movement that could stand for something, could be great. But we can't waste the effort bothering to try when it's all relative, right? The problem is that maturity has as much to do with who you are as who you are to other people. You can't be a dude circulating this stuff amongst the Tumblrs -AND- demand that you be treated with respect. There is a thread active right now that's demanding an answer for why-people-always-hating-on-ponies? Why-they-always-saying-we-like-porn-and-not-the-show? For goodness sake Grey! Don't tell me you discovered the trick to double-think... All I can think about here is those days when I get caught buying toys in Target. And I turn to the haters and point angrily, "I am the size of a garbage truck and I watch My Little Pony." Because we refuse to stand for anything, that looses all it's power because being willing to like girly stuff takes strength and courage. But being willing to be a freak doesn't take any kind of effort or fortitude at all.
So, liking something YOU don't like is being a freak and does not deserve resepect, but when people like things OTHERS don't like but you do, they are manly? And then you were worrying about people stealing you secret to double thinking.
this just sums up everything. Have fun playing troll virgil. By chance virgil does liking punk make me a freak or hearts, rainbows, ska, green lanter, video games. Do those make me a freak. What if I find people that don't like punk to be freaks. -- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums
