The very FIRST thing that I see when I logged into Icon Chatterz, was a porngraphic icon. This may be the most irritating topic that concerns icons, besides rippers. Seriously, what is the purpose for pornographic icons? To give an erection? If you get an erection off of icons, you need to die.
Some people make these icons as jokes. I don't see what's so funny. What if some undderage kid/newbie logged in and saw that? He'd go all around the internet for hentai and develop a pre-mature masturbation habit. I'm not saying that it can happen, but it can.
Some people are just idiots.

Unfortunate. But, what should be brought up an a conversation is that Pornography is illegal to minors.
| |
Yes, but they could bring up the arguement that they put it on the web, its not their fault if kids look at it, just like all the porn sites out there in the event a kid sees it.
| |
Actually, it is. Pornography sites have disclaimers. BYOND does not.
| |
i agree with this it is funny to me but that is my imachure side talking i wish we could do some thing because i now a little kid that has seen this and it is not cool
| |
I see nothing wrong with pornographic icons as long as the game has a warning on it.

"I see nothing wrong with pornographic icons as long as the game has a warning on it."
Exactly. Anyway, you shouldn't be worrying about this. Most of the games like this seem to.....disappear..... | |
Unfortunatly, there is nothing you can actually do about it.

No doubt there are many other posts, I just got tired of going through them.
As you can see, this subject has been talked out on both sides.
I agree that something should probably be done, but using someone elses argument (can't remember whose) BYOND=Build Your Own Net Dream...If your dream is to create a game full of nothing but porn, go ahead.
I thinkt hey should at least keep it off the hub and use their own site to advertise it.
