Knocky's Nose;8598244... As for the potential of horrendous Sexist Censorship... who the hell cares about that? It's a football chat forum said:

Exactly. Football....

How anyone can honestly get offended by a post, from someone they’ve never met before, on a pubic forum baffles me.

Yes, very amusing. But I am pretty sure as said above this type of thread move is down to how NSC appears on Google searches and how that best generates revenue through ads to fund the site. Although, you know, you crack on with the sexism angle if you want...

I started a thread earlier about men's grooming habits regarding their pubic region.

*http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?366822-Male-Grooming-Let-s-Talk-Pubes

The thread was swiftly moved to the "The Other Stuff" as it was possibly deemed too potentially offensive or embarassing for those of a more sensitive disposition. I have no problem with that in itself as long as there is a consistency with this policy but there clearly isn't. A few months ago a thread was started entitled, "Thread full of funny descriptions for a lady's private parts"

*http://www.northstandchat.com/showt...s-of-a-lady%92s-private-parts&highlight=Funny

That thread was left on The Big Board and allowed to run its course.

The difference between my thread and the other thread was my thread was targeted specifically at men with the subject offered for discussion being men. Although my thread was of a very personal and inquisitive nature there was nothing that was potentially offensive to anyone, men or women. It was moved nonetheless.

The other thread about lady's private parts was obviously targeted at men for their amusement at the expense and potential embarrassment of women. There was also plenty of potential for offensive content and inevitably it was posted by numerous posters. Much of the content on that board was rather distasteful as it was posted on a mixed board targeting one specific minority section of that board (women) as source of amusement for the other specific majority section of that board (men). No consideration was given to the potential for embarassment or discomfort to the female members of this board as it remained on The Big Board for eveyone to post their mainly vulgar content. I have no problem with vulgarity as long as it is all inclusive and not targeting anyone or group in particular while that group are mere spectators to the "hilarity" being dispensed at their expense.

So why was my thread moved when the other thread targeting women as the source of humour was left unchecked.

I believe there is a pervading and questionable element of sexism which determined how the two threads were dealt with.

Is it only ok to talk pubes on NSC if the pubes in question belong to women?

If you don’t like or agree with what you see/read, hit the back button and continue.

We really are becoming much to reactive to any little thing, in most cases, to make ourselves feel more important than we actually are

Yes I have. The odd NSC post belittling people who are variously suicidal, suffering from mental illness, or have a learning difficulty, are all very offensive. Being insensitive, selfish, ill-informed, low and dim.

A lot of people (unfortunately too many) need to feel big and clever online. In most cases it’s because they’re actually less intelligent than the Harry Enfield character, Tim, nice but dim.
Why does it offend you? Their ignorant posts, posted purely to fish for responses from the easily offended, says more about how fragile their lives are than they could ever imagine!

Up the Albion!

OP over-analysing. And post dreary and over-long. Somebody's trying just a little too hard. And failing. Roll on the end of this latest shitty international break and the return to proper meaningful competitive football. And accompanying social intercourse...
