why, do you ask?

well, the first "post your legs" thread essentially turned into a creepy-as-shit clusterfuck of people perving on a select few exhibitionists who frequently posted pics of themselves. it was gross. very gross. while most of you reading this thread probably don't remember/have even seen that thread, it was bad enough that it remains one of the scant few things that we actually habitually delete here outside of necroposts.

osu! is an all-ages community and while special lenience is typically given to off-topic given its absurdist shitposting bent, this does not apply to things of a visually provocative nature, especially when there's like fucking 12 year olds reading this forum you incorrigible fucks

so just don't, ok? thanks

SPOILER

yep it'd be perfectly fine if you did that

the key difference between the two paradigms is that posting pictures of yourself in general is a fairly benign thing and not really a targeted thing.

posting pictures just of your legs from my experience, has people do all sorts of weird shit to garner attention within said threads, which moves the threads away from just sharing pictures and more about appealing to a fetish. trust me, it gets really fucking awkward after a while and it inevitably gets closed one way or another.

i personally, don't really give a fuck what people do. it's no skin off my back if people want to post pictures of themselves being reamed anally by a zucchini in a full nelson honestly, but it definitely isn't appropriate for osu! given what the leader of the project wants for the game (and its demographic), so who am i (and you for that matter) to suggest anything to the contrary?

people pretending to be facebook on the forums is fine, people pretending to be ashley madison on the forums is not fine. where those two lines intersect is purely where we draw the line, and i, in my insatiable wisdom, draw the line at legs threads because I still remember the sort of janky shit that went on in the last one.

fair?

please elucidate as to the nature of this "grittier" stuff and i'll happily handle that as well

the pm i sent to khelly which they quoted is pretty much all i have to say on the matter anyway

if you want legthreads, maybe make a discord dedicated to them or something? idk what to tell you otherwise.

i kind of wish i could dig up the original post-your-legs thread so you all could see the sort of stuff it devolved to after page 30 or whatever it was, but alas, it is lost to the annals of time

ALSO of all the announcement posts ever made calling the people that browse this subforum necromancers and unoriginal fucks, bad posting shitposters and generally beings of ill worth and flat out stupid, the one chink in the armor is apparently poking ill at people's propensity to get aroused over legs.

hoooooooooooooooooo boy.
