I was curious what your stance was on neuter -- androids with no genitals at all. What if they are androgynous? Is it the penis that bothers you? The hair?
What about these:
I guess I'm trying to figure out a standard by which to measure an image. Like I said, "bot" seemed debatable -- I say electronics, somebody else says nano-tech, and somebody else says clones. "Fem", though, is rather peculiar -- I mean, it's a man-made thing, so it technically doesn't have a gender. If it needs to be done by appearances, what are the criteria? In the "Pretty Sissy Dani" images, there isn't even a penis visible, so how can you even identify gender?
UGH
Ya know, in a way it's an interesting question, because just seeing a naked male form does not make me want to puke.
But I also don't feel like going back and reviewing all those examples at the moment.
But still, it's pretty simple. Crossdressing and TG just freaks me, and many other people, out. Why does it freak people out? I don't know. I'm not a psychologist.
All that needs to be discussed here is that it DOES freak people out, just like pics of bloody gore, pics of children, etc. Are you going to ask everyone why denny's pictures freaked them out?
Some people seem to enjoy deceiving others and ramming their non-female fetish down our throats and pretending that it is not a problem. Hell, I think they even get a kick out of disturbing people.
Until recently it has not been a problem, as the TG-oriented members of the community have usually clearly identified TG-themed materials as such, so that we poor closed-minded people
who get freaked out by such things need not be freaked out at a website we visit for our own pleasure.
I really don't see what's so difficult to understand here.
Comparing it to the debate over the question of "what is a robot" is apples and oranges. Different people may or may not think chips vs. white fluids. vs. clones vs. bioroids or whatever is or is not a robot. But, correct me if I'm wrong, nobody is repulsed or turned off by such matters. Whereas some dude in a mask and gloves pretending to be a woman is just plain creepy at the very least for many people.
A few years ago, the sponsors of the South Boston St. Patrick's Day parade were beseiged by gay groups demanding the right to "participate" in the parade (by "participate" the more radical groups meant the right to make a spectacle and ruin it as was typical in those times, their goals clearly had nothing to do with celebrating Irish heritage) After court injunctions prevented the sponsors from keeping then out, in 1994 the sponsors just cancelled the parade.
In 1995 the Supreme Court voted unanimously that the organizers be allowed to determine who may or may not participate in the parade and the parade went back on schedule.
I would ask that the 2 or 3 recent TG enthusiasts stop raining on our parade. Some people think that would mean respecting the group by clearly labelling TG stuff. Others think TG stuff should be banned altogether.
This is not some noble crusade of human rights, this is a frigging fetish website for people who enjoy the idea of women as robots.
