Funny how that one incident ruined everything, eh?
@Vinyl Fluff
I think you’re talking about the cult-classic Cartoon Network show Sym-Bionic-Titan. (Also, the guy she was dancing in front of is a robot. Which is why he wasn’t too interested in her.)
To be fair, I think that show was rated TV-PG.
From what I heard, the ninja ban stuff in the UK was because there was an incident in the 80’s where some criminals killed several people with ninja-related weaponry, most notably nunchuks.
Modern stuff is edging closer. There was that cartoon, don’t remember which one it was, that was a big name show on Nick or FoxKids or something, that had a female character in booty shorts do a twerking routine set to music in front of a male character.
There’s always been the slipping stuff under the radar trope, but as a general rule scantily-clad males have always been more easily accepted than females.
The edge is getting pushed each year, but the separation between the two still exists.

You know who got away with it with a human character a couple different times? The same show that I mentioned before. I’m starting to think it wasn’t even trying to be a kids’ show in the first place.
Might’ve been a human example somewhere, but I can’t remember.
Cross-dressing humor used to be common in England too.
That’s a little bit different. It wasn’t a human, it was a duck. You also had cross-dressing as humor on Looney Tunes.

Tom & Jerry kinda got away with it.
I’m speaking of shows aimed at kids. You can show a male character in boxers and it’s considered comedic. You show a woman in underwear and it’s not likely to get past the censor board.

You’re disgusting. To ever say that censorship and the repression of sexuality is anything but absolutely bad is immoral and unethical. However,it is also ironically your right, and I hope I have the moral character to die to protect your right to spread your bile.
Yeah, I know, Rule 0 deletion incoming. But Glim needed to hear that uncensored.
Woohoo! We’re about as popular as Counter-Strike right now!
[not really.. just concurrent players, not unique ones]
That’s closer but still quite a bit off =p I imagine the stats for the other two sites are likewise deflated, mind.
Including all three, that puts Derpibooru at about 25,000 per day using same website (http://www.siteprice.org/tools/simple-website-traffic-estimator.aspx)
derpiboo.ru is treated differently by such services as they use domain cookies, and it’s not the official or most used domain. A more correct calculation would be the addition of derpiboo.ru, derpibooru.org, and trixiebooru.org (you could also add ronxgr5zb4dkwdpt.onion if that service tracks TOR, but the amount is likely negligible anyway).
I’m pretty sure it does. and would mean you’re missing a good chunk of visits.
and there’s also https://trixiebooru.org/, but I don’t think very many people use that one.

I used a website that tracks the average number of unique visitors per day to websites, and it said that Derpibooru gets about 10,000, EQD gets about 15,000, and Fimfiction gets about 20,000 per day.
I checked Derpiboo.ru, though, not Derpibooru.org, which I don’t know if that makes a difference for website trackers.

Unless it’s an underwear commercial.
You have a source for that?
Going by Alexa it’s nearly the other way around; fimfiction.net (20,436th), derpibooru.org (25,088th), equestriadaily.com (32,832th)
Not surprised at the poll results, anyway; equestriadaily is the site that constantly features fics tagged “Grimdark” like the hundred Fallout: Equestria spinoffs and used to feature stuff like Cupcakes. Meanwhile, they don’t show any images in art dumps with anything racier than bedroom eyes without a warning.
Yeah, it was a joke in that case. Doesn’t invalidate my point. In pretty much all media in the US, bare-chested men aren’t considered anywhere near as sexual as a woman showing cleavage.
Show a man in underwear on a show? No one will say a thing. Show a woman in bra and panties? Some people will scream for heads to roll.
You’re saying that as if people haven’t made even greater things with R34 works.
Like, look at 4chan. The weapon of trolling is posting guro, gureosome deaths and other disgusting gory imagery. Grimdark is what you use if you find a weaker person and want to push him/her over the edge to commit suicide on /b/.
Meanwhile, normal drawn porn is nothing but a fan past-time and often even gets used for good (charity, helping someone get through a tough time and the like). Heck, normal porn is in a whole different league with people forced into it, satisfying weird fetishes by performing the acts, prostitution,…
Drawn art, gory or saucy, is nothing in comparison.
Well, I like Seth, I really do. I’m a bit upset he says this, of course, as if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have said what I said. However, it doesn’t matter that it’s 140 characters, because he actively put it on social media to be read. You can’t get away with everything by saying “it’s just a prank bro” so why should we be more lenient about statements because “it’s just a tweet bro.” And on my first post, I even said “not everything can be summed up in one tweet” and have shown exactly why that’s the case.
I have no idea where paranoia comes into any of this. But like you said, you skimmed instead of read fully, so of course you may assume something that isn’t there. It’s not paranoia to defend your opinions and bring up evidence that disprove Seth’s statement and poll results.
Peace :D

This made my sides hurt. XD
Less gender inequality, more context. One was fanservice, the other was a stupid joke.
@Glimmy-Glam
Slow down; you’re interpreting a lot out of 140 characters. Also, from what I’ve skimmed of your several walls of text, you seem to simply like gore more than clop, you are mad that Sethisto disagrees, and also oddly paranoid.
Yeah, Round Stable literally has an “off site rule” where they can ban you for things you do on other sites. That alone should speak volumes about them.
During my short stay there, I had someone google my name, look my FIMFiction account, and then throw a shitfit and cry at me to “stop shitting on their fandom”. And even when I HINTED at the fact that I write porn (I just said “the things I write”), the mods deleted my post and issued me a warning. And later on, banned me because one of my clopfics included underage characters, citing their “off-site rule”.
Hell, even SFW shipping images are banned on their forums. If you post any image, even completely SFW, that depicts characters engaging in any kind of romantic action, mods will delete the post.
Really wish they’d stop acting like they’re the curators of the fandom, but what can you expect from a site that spawned from SomethingAwful?
