While I agree that censorship is wrong there is a line...I reported someone this morning for having an Adolf Hitler avatar, though he did go on to say how much he admired him, and that imo is even worse. So if you feel offended make a report and let the mods decide it's their board after all.
While I would not use a Hitler avatar myself, and I don't think particularly highly of the idea, I wouldn't want it censored. If it's not obscene, or "blatantly" used to offend I think it should be left alone.
Censorship is a very slippery slope.
I'm sure this image could really piss off a bush supporter.
But unless GW is a member here, I don't think it should be censored.

Censorship is indeed a slippery slope and I wouldn't give a rats arse about you satirizing Hitler...however if I thought you where in fact a neo-nazi I would be offended. Using your example of George W if you had an avatar that was blatantly supporting him and then went on to say you thought he's a great guy I'd disagree but not really care...but then Bush wasn't the architect of the Holocaust :dabs: plus it affects me more because I have relatives who where in the Holocaust. Some survived some didn't so for me it hits close to home. Like I said I made a report and the mods did as they saw fit that's all I wanted, just to have my say. If they'd chosen to not act I wouldn't have argued.
p.s. I like the Bush pic I can see the humour in it and don't mind it a bit.
It's from Sin City, I reckon, he's killing himself to protect someone else, like.Quote:

It may be distressing to you, but I wouldn't class it as offensive as I understand the term.
By the way, the usual place to raise these sorts of issues is in the Report Section ;)
Eh, since I saw this thread...I am reminded of someone else's avatar on another site. Would anyone think that a ghastly (only word to describe it) picture of "Chris Crocker," the scary self-proclaimed idiot girl/boy on youtube, to be offensive? I get very annoyed anytime I see anything about that person that I block said content. He/she drives me nuts! lol
I fosmeone had hitler as there avy becuae he admired him I wouldn´t feel offended just wouldn´t really have anything to do with that person now if someomne had an avy that said
kill all (insert race here) or whatever then thats a diff matter altogether
Yes, I would.Quote:

Your just giving your opinion nothing wrong with that , your choice of forum was maybe wrong ? I'v asked mods (on other forums) to remove member names such as killwitey or fukthatblakbiatch as thats insulting to all members .Quote:
