Oh, lilpele22, there are lots of sites where you can find that!

Slickdeals...hmmm...I think this website is about finding a good deal. About da $$$.

Don't care which team you play for, you don't have to share it in a pic on slickdeals.

I come to this site, say looking for a good deal on a blender, not a picture of two people playing tonsil hockey. :shake:

Then we should just get rid of all avatars. Or at least any avatars featuring kissing, or anything that could be sexual. Can't forget about the blacks, hispanics, and latinos, we should get rid of avatars with them on it too. Oh and while were at it we cant have avatars of midgets, retards, or nerds. That just doesnt make us look good. We need to show everyone how perfect the human race is!:nod:

I agree with Mike to an extent.

If you are going to ban all same-sex kissing avatars, then ban all kissing avatars.

Just my opinion.

I agree with you. Ban it. Straight or gay. Do you really need two people making out in an avatar anyway?

Although the dancing penis avatar is funny (saw on another site), it's not really appropiate either.

Since this is a public forun (run by a private company) you're going to get people who will push the boundaries of common decency. "I want it so you will have to sit there and put up with it." Same kind of people who swear in front of kids "cause I have free speech". You also have no tact.

Slickdeals is a private run site, they can (I hope they will) ban anything they want to.

Dancing penis avatar and people (any type of people) playing tonsil hockey avatars shouldn't be here. Some people don't know this and have to be told to keep it home or on the "appropiate websites". Say the ones where grandma doesn't come to find a deal on American Girl dolls. You've got half the web to look at that kind of thing, why do you need it here too?

Let's get rid of the lounge, too, since it also has nothing to do with posting deals.

It just astonishes me how hateful and intolerant people are on this site.

...It just astonishes me how hateful and intolerant people are on this supposedly family/child-safe, work-safe site.Fixed that for you.

The owner of this site makes his money from advertisers. Maybe some day he'll want to sell the site to someone else.

Do you think the owner of any website has a right to limit the content of his site so that he may maximize its value based on his own perceptions, strategy, and preferences?

BTW, do you see a lot of homosexual kissing portrayed in prime-time TV - or in children's shows? Does that mean that the producers and FCC are "hateful and intolerant?" :rolleyes:

Ahh, c'mon guys... Let's just ban avatars altogether. That way nobody gets offended. And, that kokopelli flute dude that Xnarg has could be offensive to native american folks. Isn't it kinda religious for them too?

Ban 'em all and let the accountants sort 'em out.

Well, gee, thanks for misquoting me. Your arguments are assinine.

Please explain to me the correlation between having ads on the site and being homophobic. Of course, the site owner has the right do whatever they want. That doesn't mean homophobia should be silently tolerated. If the ban were over interracial kissing, you wouldn't be on your high horse.

What is your freaking problem? Are you so unsure of your own sexuality that two people kissing bothers you? Does the idea that two people of the same sex might care about each other scare you? I kiss my kids. Does that make me a pedophile?

Sheesh. Thanks for making my point for me so clearly.

Sheesh. Thanks for making my point for me so clearly.On prime-time TV, which is often watched by children, do you see homosexual kissing? Nope. Do you see heterosexual kissing? To some extent, yes. If you don't like the situation, take it up with the FCC.

If you were browsing this site at work as part of your job, looking for a deal for some ink for you departmental printer and the division head or the HR rep came by and saw homosexual kissing on your screen, do you think it likely he or she would be more or less inclined to permit you to use this site?

The above situations do not mean that the FCC and corporate executives are homophobic, just realistic.

I watch "Oz (http://sword.borderline-angel.com/Shows-O/OZ/cast006.jpg)," which depicts a lot of overt homosexual activity, but I don't let my younger kids watch it. Does that make me a homophobe or just a responsible parent?

Get real.

I think by having this as a rule, the owner of this site has spoken.


If and when the rule changes, I am sure there will be an announcement and/or a sticky to let everyone know.

yeah that's why I hate AT and FW, they force people to use the same avatars...


BOOOOOOOOO!

i hate the discrimination and am totally against it and supportive of banning all kissing images to be fair, but as has been said many times, it's a private site, so they get to make the rules
