When it's not even 8am, you visit QBN to post about a typeface and "Chick of the Day" is the first thread...
It's not inspiring at all. There is nothing intellectually stimulating about soft porn. And it feels dirty and exploitative, and I'm not a female.
If you're one of those guys that doesn't get that, then you're wired differently, and need to sort it out.
- Think about it. You go to a porn site... and there is a link to a new logo critique. It's like adding concrete to your shwarma, it just doesn't belong together.canoe
- dude, porn site with logo critique section.. take that to any VC and voila.. it prints moneyautoflavour
- "Let's keep the Pic of the Day thread clean and post all the NSFW stuff here." in a thread that is constantly at the top of the fucking list.kingsteven
- Just change it to NSFW of the day. I didn't chime in on the QBNX thing as that was retarded.kingsteven
- but defending 'CHICK' of the day, you'd really think some of the folks here only want it to discourage new users from their safe space.kingsteven
- certainly the bros who acted so defensively over PP's thread need to take a look at themselves, i dunno, maybe suck a dick or sthg.kingsteven
- Don't agree with a general NSFW thread. There is going to be beheadings and footballs shoved up people assholes in amongst the general glamour shots in COTD.Hayzilla
- well. "Bro, does my particular fetish give you a twinkle in your dick of the day" is too long. maybe 'Fetish of the day' would be more accurate.kingsteven
- It's almost like the people who use this site are from various timezones and post things at instances entirely different to you. Fucking crazy, yeah?face_melter
- meh face, not sure that's his point. besides chukkaphob seems like the kind of lad that knocks one out every 10 minutes.kingsteven
- when i'm not joining in, i like to watch people mass-debatePeterPancake
- canoe +1kona
- when it's not even 8am where you live, I might already be up working for 6 hours where I live...SimonFFM
- What makes you more "right" and why do these other guys need to sort it out? Maybe their wives don't put out and after another frustrating night...MondoMorphic
- ...seeing *some* naked woman is better than nothing at all. hahahaMondoMorphic
- There's enough porn on the internet, don't see the need for it on here. If you want to repost chick pics make a tumblr or something.shapesalad
- peter, while i have issues with the mysoginistic title. i wouldn't personally have a problem with anything you've posted in QBNX in Pic of the Day...kingsteven
- #metoo?monospaced
- It had a purpose but now we have NSFW and downvotes... I'd just reintegrate it all in to Pic of the Day and auto hide post images on 3 downvotes.kingsteven
- lolmonospaced
- how about a bindegal thread where he can post all his subhuman nonsense in?fadein11
- how about just don't click on it? if its presence is bothering you, ignore it, like a mature adultmonospaced
- have to agree mono, it really doesn't bother me that 3ish members (excuse the pun) only come here to post tits. clearly in the minority anyway.fadein11
- it's really not hurting anyone is it. unless we are trying to attract new members (oops) now in which case I do agree with Peter.fadein11
- let our large collection of female members vote on it perhaps?fadein11
- Stay woke...severian
- Opinions are like arseholes... F**k 'Emrobthelad
- honestly, i'm looking at the topics over there on the left and not one is design related, except for "FUCK ADOBE"scarabin
- This site stopped being design related like a decade ago.BonSeff
- Its now basically that site where people photoshop some dude's face on fucking everything.BonSeff
- yet you are still here.fadein11
- @robthelad i only share mine with close family members and medical professionalsPeterPancake
- COTD brings Kristopher $$$$. The swiss like it, it stays,severian
- i come here mainly for 2 things. one, to chat and post with you folks, see the joking around etc...exador1
- and for the occasional 'useful thread' post. which I've found to be pretty good over the years.exador1
- would love it if things were more design oriented, but I think that ship has sailed.exador1
- for real design related content and news, I go to other spots now..have for a long time.
like https://www.designer…exador1 - these days, qbn/newstoday is mainly to see whats new with you folks, joke around, and see something funny etc...exador1
- as far as i can see now, qbn is just a hangout for us. which is ok. in a way, it always sort of was....exador1
- used to be a lot more design related chatter going on, but there was ALWAYS more of the other sort...just fucking around, chats, and jokes etc...exador1
- i recall quite clearly the stuff going on at Newstoday back in the day... it was the same, just with a larger cast of characters...transfa... vena, thatbitch,exador1
- dudes from 2advanced like Shane, pixelranger i think he was called, and tons of others...exador1
- But whenever there's a design related topic, many jump in to give feedback/help pretty fast. So what's the point?Maaku
- We have discussions about apps, logos, websites, code, fonts. If someone asks a question or wants feedback, we answer.Maaku
- if art history has taught us anything, it's that there is nothing more inspirational for artists than a beautiful female. it stays._niko
- the DesignerNews site has a great COTD thread ;)OP31
- People are getting more and more sensitive lately about everythingBennn
- https://i.imgflip.co…severian
- if only people didn't mind as much, seeing a ding-dong with their tittyPeterPancake
- solution is to post in threads you like and push cotd down. It was a simon original post in the cotd at 8am. and not some random I make teens horny pic.uan
- and simon can't post in 'show some recent work' ... actually it was a creative design / art post and you missed ituan
- lololol.
don't like it? don't stay? how many other places do you demand change from to appease you? fuck off with this entitlement shit.imbecile - you cant sensor threads. Dont like it dont click it. If it puts someone off from joining ... they probably wouldn't survive here long enough anyway!mugwart
- exactly. don't click the thread. i stay well clear of the nsfw thread, it's fucking awful - so i never go there. but, swiss or not, it stays.hans_glib
- Search for hubble telescope and take in a vast gander of how incredible everything is. IMHO its worse to censor a community than ban a thread of throught.mugwart
- what typeface were you going to share?OP31
- just spotted it! never mindOP31
- uan, it gets as many posts as pic of the day and generally heavily downvoted smut posted by a few users. it's just 'Chick' and the view of some user that itkingsteven
- has and will continue to be a tailored wank stash.kingsteven
- Simon's work is reason enough
to create a new, 'adult' thread. Deserves better than to sit up against the barrage of vanilla-porn in there, just my onion.PeterPancake - How about QBN in addition to the 'Jingle' on/off check box, has a 'NSFW content' check box, turned off removes COFD etc threads?shapesalad
- 99% of cotd is along the lines of simon's work, just celebrating female beauty. nsfw thread is another story though lol_niko
- it's a decent thread at times, just the name and the constant reminder 'it's wank time somewhere' as its bumped by folks clearly demonstrating how they got off.kingsteven
- Even if QBNX is a different thread, and welcome, which it is ... there was no reason to say COTD was somehow problematicmonospaced
- Honestly, you should have just made a new thread and not started this uber-PC tirade where you get all triggered over absolutely nothing ... grow a thicker skinmonospaced
- THanks.monospaced
- ^ yeah I'm in agreement.mugwart
- Freedom's post in cord thread is the worst tho.pango
- QBN is a free place, please shall we never start censoring it, except for deeply fucked up stuff. So much sensitivity everywhere! No one is forcing you to clickBennn
- I'm less enthusiastic, but i support doing away with that stuff altogether.futurefood
- ....just the other day i accidentally hit the official NSFW thread while a coworker passed by....fmlfuturefood
- if not planning to get rid of them, then maybe a color label for the NSFW stuff on the left side?futurefood
- At the very least, Nsfw threads and posts could be muted, and on by default for lurkers or potential new members. As a female, those threads reflect the sameshellie
- Lockerrom behavior I have to deal with every day and it sucks. I don't click on those threads. But if rather not see them at all if I could.shellie
- this way, everyone subs, and the ppl who want to beat off in the corner together can still do that uninterrupted.shellie
- *everyone winsshellie
- QBNers JO Crystals' lumens are over 9000!soundofreason
- Reckon all this debate is a sign of a healthy community as opposed to some heightened level of sensitivityPeterPancake
- FYI 'sensitivity', 'PC', 'triggered', 'snowflake' and 'whiny bitch' in a single post will win you the bullshit bingo ;)PeterPancake
- for 5 years no one cared, where did this nonsense come fromdrgs
- IDGAF whether it's there or not...and as long as we don't have gore and shit...illegal stuff and just vile crap, who cares? Don't click if you don't like it.BusterBoy
- And I don't mind seeing a boob at 8am,BusterBoy
- bullshit bingo? but I'm not even wrong about a single one of thosemonospaced
- @shellie, you're right, they kinda do! they also reflect that industry. I also don't click on it because I don't want to see it either. Not really an issue.monospaced
- from what I can tell, that thread is full of photos of models who do that for a living, but as a thread itself, it doesn't prey on anyonemonospaced
- I'm just saying it drives away a large portion of the working industry and wouldn't it be nice if we could opt in like we do with the QBN jingle?shellie
- I got one would like to see more women here. They have a lot to offer, and these days we makes up sometimes half of the office.shellie
- *I for one
I also wish I could edit posts up to a minute after I post so my spellcheck mistakes don't haunt me for eternity.shellie - My point was, most of the sexual, racist, or political stuff in my opinion are wholly unattractive. Can you stop running off all the chicks w/the creep squad?shellie
- This is 2018! Why are we still living like primitive cave people? (nothing against primitive cave people)SoulFly
- all this discussion cause someone wanted to post a typeface...fucking designers ruining my day with typefaces.oey
- I'm with shellie and i also wrote that a couple of years back. actually we had that NSFW button for a whileoey
- the only thing i got was downvotes.oey
- actually we could have a public voice design related and something called otheroey
- like on the top right : cover/feed/ntm/other
or something like that. i would enjoy qbn moreoey - i check Butt of the Day sometimes and every time I click I know what that means, where does it come from, what it represents, why I still click, etc...oey
- I honestly feel bad when i click, but sometimes after the click i feel good. thing is if i want i can do it somewhere else.oey
- for me when it come to someone like Simon, there's pretty of unfair comments and positions here.oey
- So maybe we could have on the top right:
cover/feed/ntm/other...oey - and i also come here for the community mostly nowadays but i started to come here for the design news mostlyoey
- I've fucking learned a lot witha lot of people here, awesome tips, always ready to help, nice links...WTF is simply awesome. i remember the first time i clickedoey
- this website/community is pretty loaded with talent, good discussions, funny psb's, and so on...sometimes i get tiredoey
- but i tend to focus on the great things. other people go without a word cause you know...oey
- they get fed up or disappointed with something they also help build in a certain direction like it or notoey
- for me it's clearly more awesome and positive than trashy or whatever and i have a nice selection of QBN bookmarks to consultoey
- i just open them to see if there's something new without even go to the homepage cause you know...set...hahahah...oey
- some stuff i wrote above i was being sarcastic but you get the idea.oey
- Sup Guises?
https://i.makeagif.c…utopian - When it's 8:53 pm and COTD is not even listed in the threads!emphor
- ^^ it'll be back, right as someone is passing your monitor, right up there, top left :-Dkingsteven
- i really can't understand how folks are so defensive of it when they admit they don't click on it... it's usually one of 3 users posting and 90% downvoted BS.kingsteven
- It's working!
There hasn't been a new post in the COTD since this blog post.
Who will be the brave soul?soundofreason - also, Butt of the Day... Boobs of the Day seem somewhat more excusable than 'CHICK of the day' - i get that it's not that sinister in reality.kingsteven
- what we have is a thread that most users don't visit, with a little ecosystem of greasy regulars unloading their vanilla porn stash. and folks triggered by thekingsteven
- idea of changing anything... who seem aware of difference between the healthy worship of the female form and sleazing over 'chicks'.kingsteven
- I think a good rule of thumb is that if the last 3 posts on any threads are yours it's time to take a break.
*cough chukkaphob *coughsoundofreason - haha, but i think the whole marychain thing got to the core of what the problem is with it. were folks that are smart enough to know its not a porn stash...kingsteven
- are effectively backing up the viewpoint of a few users that it's a place for hetro bonding over the sharing of photos of young beautiful women...kingsteven
- and the name kinda backs them up. we could have a var better healthier environment for sharing such things without the mysoginistic title.kingsteven
- i think the title's tongue in cheek, should we get rid of dude of the day as well?_niko
- as a design forum i'll say this, these girls don't roll out of bed looking like that, they work hard on their bodies, their hair, makeup, they have a team of_niko
- stylists, photographers, art directors etc, they are heavily "designed" no different or less inspirational than looking at art, cars, landscapes or any other_niko
- ...beautiful thing. I'll agree that the nsfw or nsfl threads serve no purpose in here but COTD definitely has merit and should stay._niko
- but having said that, if it means losing the few females we have on here then fuck that down with COTD! lol_niko
- if only i could opt-in for the things you all say that make me feel good and opt-out of the things that annoy me. lolololimbecile
- i think the title was maybe intended tongue and cheek, but it is 90% men in a small design community trying to bond by sharing exclusively MOR soft porn.kingsteven
