    Propose we close the Chick of the Day thread and its various derivatives. All for nudity, erotica, NSFW etc. having a home on QBN, but not in such a sexualised and prejudiced presentation. Surely we can do better?

    • I upvoted because i agree. Then down voted because i disagree.capn_ron
    • you're okay with NSFW chicks, nudity and erotica etc, but not presented sexually? I don't computemonospaced

    • My point doesn't object to sexual content, outright. But there is a limit? http://www.qbn.com/r…PeterPancake
    • Should make it clear, it is the prejudice presentation which is the focus.PeterPancake

    • that's a sexy tortillapockets
    • +1 on just having a Erotica/Nude of the Dayplash
    • wasn't this closed a few years ago ... only to be put back shortly after?
      Isn't it a choice of if you want to click on a topic or not?

    • Don't mix threads please, some are categorize for creative inspiration, others for deviant inspirationrobotron3k
    • How about a "secret" tab that opens all that stuff if you are a granted access. Like FFFFFound, only members can approve you.Maaku

    • I downvoted this because i think this would be the first step on a road to hell. We're all adults and able to distinguish between a commonly used term and a...Morning_star
    • ..purposefully derogatory insult. I see it as being no different from a thread called "Guy of the day'.Morning_star
    • If we're going to "clean" QBN, might as well get rid of Car of the Day, Set PSB, Politics, and anything unrelated to design and code.Maaku
    • @Morning_Star, tbf, i we're all mostly adult males. And if I'm not sure we're likely to achieve parity in objectification anytime soon with CotD breaking the...PeterPancake
    • ...26k post mark, amongst other fem. related threads and DotD a mere curiosity with circa 700 posts.PeterPancake
    • @Maaku Yea, I don't think we should be stopping people post CotD type content, just it should be posted in a more gender balanced thread. eg Nude of the DayPeterPancake
    • get rid of all the OTD threadsimbecile
    • You can close it down, but it will leak through cracks and holes in other threadsdrgs
    • Although I'm fine with chick if the day thread going away. It doesn't show up on cover page.pango
    • Maybe stop clicking the thread and feel bad about it?pango
    • I'm surprised this is on the chopping board before the NSFW thread.pango
    • @drgs Grand irony that the CotD thread started as a parody and mutated in about 2.5 cock strokes.PeterPancake
    • @pango Not a fan of the don't like, don't click argument. It's in the sidebar, yo.PeterPancake
    • Also I'm totally fine with the NSFW thread. As long as it doesn't end up on the cover page, DP the hell out it short of snuff.PeterPancake
    • it's only about 2 people who post in it isn't it?fadein11
    • Darn Peter, where were you back in 2000 when the shit was getting started??robotron3k
    • ^Think they operate in shifts. And they'd be more than welcome to carry on in the e.g. Erotic/Nude of the Day thread x)PeterPancake
    • @robotron3k nascent batterPeterPancake
    • @ PeterPancake . Could you shed some light on how you think it's prejudiced.Morning_star
    • Please do not make QBN PCtgqt
    • @MS Chick/Boobs/Butt aren't exactly the most progressive terms. Doesn't take a great leap to imagine this turns off many potential participants to this forum.PeterPancake
    • @tggt QBN Porn Collective? More adult, more progressive, more accessible does not equal PC. Fuck it up some more.PeterPancake
    • Mostly CotD thread is boring as fuck and old fashioned. Get me some 21C grot.PeterPancake
    • Thanks for your reply PP. I agree with you about the CotD thread being dull as fuck. However, QBN is pretty good at self censorship/editing those people and...Morning_star
    • no one can/should dictate what others want/ or should like. Just cause you dont think it is "progressive" (we read as PC) doesnt mean others have to stop.mugwart
    • ...opinions that are a step too far. I guess that this side thread illustrates the breadth of opinion about CotD.Morning_star
    • a community has many voices. I dont like the religion thread - doesnt mean we should ban that.mugwart
    • @ mugwart. 'Snap'Morning_star
    • Think this is pretty democratic so far :)PeterPancake
    • @mug, the religion thread is a debate thread. not a psalm of the day thread.PeterPancake
    • ^point being, the CotD thread has the power to turn people away from qbn. those people don't have a say because they don't join.PeterPancake
    • and to re-iterate, it's not about banning the content, it's a about putting it in a box that won't offend potential users.PeterPancake
    • (and current users, obv)PeterPancake
    • I'm pretty anti-PC but I'm with Peter here. However I'd obliterate it all, esp nsfw and similar. Too much junk slipping into cover page. Sorry, not sorry.SteveJobs
    • There’s nothing prejudice about chick of the day. The title is fine and so is content. There’s also dude of the day if you’re into that.monospaced
    • Because of the threads like chick of the day there are no chicks here. You guys shoot yourselves in the foot. Seriously, I think it limits the gender variety.Beeswax
    • I'd be good with it (+nsfw-focused threads) disappearing. I'm not offended and enjoy an occasional scroll through, but they def kinda lower the bar around here.horton
    • Okay okay ok now, let's not talk crazy now. Just make a Pancake of the Day thread and be done with this nonsense.fyoucher1
    • I would never have created a COTD thread. But the QBN community decided my work belongs there. Even PeterPancake posted a lot of photos there, btw.SimonFFM
    • I doubt that's the reason there aren't more participating women on here btw.
      Also, leave cotd alone, chicks dig it too. oddly offended. *eye roll

    • There's no way to prove it turns people (men and women, btw) away from the forum b/c ofc. they arn't here for their voices to be heard...PeterPancake
    • It's not really surprising that some female members are ok with the thread @sea_sea. Would be interesting to hear what others think.PeterPancake

    • @rendered again, i don't think we should be censoring the content, just re-labelling.PeterPancake
    • @mug, I understand the appeal of letting threads live and die in the timeline.PeterPancake
    • But also support democratic discussion and nudge towards a different style of posting, by altering very fixed elements, such as thread titles.PeterPancake

    • @PeterPancake Thank you!SimonFFM
    • I'll throw my thoughts in the hat since I am a chick here. Had I not joined 15 yrs ago, I wouldn't join now w/the NSFW or cotd threads even on p1 thread list.shellie
    • Perhaps more problematic threads it should just not be in the thread lists or front page but searchable via filter for those who know to look.shellie
    • stay woke.severian
    • You should also mention to women to stop wearing high heels into the office.severian
    • Bc @severian can't look at a woman's shoe choice without loosing his shit like a 11 year old when the lights are turned off in class for a movie. Cute.shellie
    • Not that it'll happen, but I agree with amalgamating all the masturbatory threads into something a bit less overtly sad blokish. 'Chick otd makes my toes curl.detritus
    • The Official NSFW thread's for all the stuff that's not masturbatory, so should be left out.detritus
    • Totally agree with having some mechanic to keep them off the front page, though can't think how that could happendetritus
    • Also think it would be amusing to mix in men to the generic porn thread, just to unnerve the basement-swelling masturbators on here mid-shuffle.detritus
    • QBNX is a pretty neutral title. Mark it NSFW. Allow users to choose whether to see NSFW in the sidebar - seems there's a call for that.PeterPancake
    • @shellie, men are primates. Women sexualize themselves daily. Dress, makeup and behavior. They be peacockin.severian
    • And maybe hide NSFW threads from potential users (i.e. when not logged in).PeterPancake
    • the problem is on both sides of the aisle.severian
    • another question is , why are these women taking their clothes off for money? Quite sad isn't it?severian
