I was you about our first-ever conversation/confrontation about Cherry Poptart.

If I had to choose between a topless girl ( Boobs blanked out) or Hitler on a comic book cover Hitler would offend me more ( he killed millions of people )

But CGC makes the rules on this

 

[Dano]

American society has always been more permissive and tolerant of violence than they have been of sexuality. Weird, but true.

How about some of Tim Vigil's Faust covers? Would they go to far?

a whole page went poof

 

I'm smart enough to leave things alone.

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

I think this is kinda like the guy who buys porno magazines, but doesn't leave them all over the house when his family comes over to visit. CGC may accept submissions for this material, but I can see why they wouldn't necessarily want the images all over their website.

 

If I had a bunch of these for sale, I would probably PM Arch and get his opinion. I would also ask if spoiler tags could be used on the images along with a warning that the image inside contains nudity.

his thread is back up

If CGC slabs it...there should be zero issue with posting it to this site.

 

Don't like boobies on your site?

 

No problem.

 

Don't encapsulate books with boobies on the cover.

I think it's a double standard.

 

It's Ok for CGC to take the money and grade the book

but it's not ok to sell the same book in the company web site...

[Balham's Finest]

But they're not saying he can't sell the book. They just don't want badly-censored pictures of it up. I don't see that's a double standard at all.

[bffnut]

I didn't look at every picture in the thread, but it didn't seem any different than the books that he has had in his previous sales threads.

Pictures of breasts never bothered me, pictures of a woman's head chopped off (CSS22) never bothered me...pictures with hot wax being dripped on women's other erogenous areas as a sexual thing...I find disturbing.

 

The fact that none of you seemed to have noticed that was what was going on, is a good thing;) It's means you are just oblivious and not weird;)

 

Switch a male and his private parts for the women and see if you feel comfortable;)

 

He's had those pictures up before, I wish people would stop supporting artists who draw those things, but I guess it's not going to happen.

 

I was not the one who hit the moderator button, but I would have if someone else hadn't already. I have seen people link to those pictures instead of showing them up front, I think that's probably a nice compromise...that way the few females who are on this site, wouldn't be uncomfortable...nor the men who understand it's uncomfortable, or who have wives who look, and the kids who happen to be passing by the computers...etc..

[bffnut]

That's a good point. While the posts dont bother me, I also know not to look at his sales thread while I am at work. I could also say the same about some signature images/GIFs, too.

[HarveySwick]

Wouldn't putting spoiler tags around the images be sufficient?

 

The images don't bother me, but I can understand how they would definitely bother some people. For the most part, I think that people who look in Dre's sales threads know by this point what he is selling. If it's not your thing, you wouldn't be in there. But spoiler tags around potentially offensive images with a "NSFW" tag might help people that otherwise might not know what the images are avoid the images.

 

I mean, it's CGC's site and if Dre pays to get books graded and slabbed by CGC and they happily accept his money, he should be allowed to sell those same books on the site if he's not violating any of the rules or guidelines.

[Dale Roberts]

But not pornographic, right?

 

 

 

 

-slym

 

I guess my opinion is one that, if its harmful to others it shouldn't be posted.

 

Are drawings of naked people harmful? I don't think so. (unless its harmful, i.e. gross animal stuff or children related)

 

Are naked pictures of people harmful? An argument could be made.

 

But by saying you have to be 18 or older to contribute doesn't that already solve the problem?

 

You might have to be 18 or older to contribute, but not necessarily to view the site.

 

Obviously there are some people who simply don't want to view it anyway (I am one of them), but then I don't go into Dre's sales threads looking for them either.

[skypinkblu]

I looked because someone sent me an email link and I clicked on it. I think spoiler tags would be fine.

 

But you gave me an idea, maybe one day when I have less to do, I'll start a petition asking CGC to stop encapsulating stuff that is so uncomfortable for women...I don't want to even say violence against women because I think the old horror mags are historical.

 

Or maybe commission someone to do some guy on guy stuff with wax or snakes or ...

 

I can't even think of the right stuff, ...just gives me the creeps;) I don't think I've posted my naked Burt Reynolds picture in here yet;)

[Jking3437]

Dude I love beachbums sales threads, for like walking deads and other exclusives, Im really not a big fan when it comes to those Naughty and Nice books though.

I know people love them, they fly out of his sales threads when they are posted, but some of the images are just a little over the top, like the Wax dripping one from the last sales thread.

 

Yea we all are supposed to be over 18 to be in this forum but when I check out of those sales threads, for the walking deads to be posted even when I sit next to the GF I def dont let her look over at the phone

 

Just my 2 cents

[Balham's Finest]

I mean, it's CGC's site and if Dre pays to get books graded and slabbed by CGC and they happily accept his money, he should be allowed to sell those same books on the site if he's not violating any of the rules or guidelines.

 

Again - they are not saying he can't sell them, just that he can't post badly-censored pictures of them.
