Forum:Profanity and Pornography

Note: This topic has been unedited for 2392 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over.

Having just read Forum:I propose we stop the f***ing cussing! and having recently encountered a much shorter, similar discussion about nudity on VFD, it occurs to me that we might want to consider the matter. Now, I want to say that I disagree with The Pondermatic's extreme puritanism but he does make a few good points.

We absolutely should not have any enforced censorship but some sort of policy might be good. My suggestion would be to have an official recommendation that people avoid profanity and pornography when unnecessary. The truth is that profanity and pornography do detract from our readership when present but only add to content in some cases. --Sir gwax (talk) 14:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

It's in How to be funny and not just stupid/cursing, dagnabit. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 14:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. Just as nothing is above satire, nothing is below(er) than gratuitous profanity, scatology and pornography. If it's not funny, it's out! --Pieface 15:27, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Just goes to show how very long it's been since I have actually read through How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid. At least I refer n00bs too it a bunch. --Sir gwax (talk) 17:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes but...sometimes you have to say "fuck". Used correctly, a bad word can add punch. Used incorrectly, or used too often, it just makes you sound stupid. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 15:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

That is why I said fucking gratuitous!--Pieface 15:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

My bad. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I too am horrified at the levels of Profanity and Pornography on Uncyclopedia, and would support any efforts to increase the quantity and quality of both. -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

There was pr0n in there ???. Outrageous!!! ... watching it again ( to explore the level of outrageousness ). --Vosnul 17:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think you guys know where I stand on this. For those who don't, I'm perfectly fine with this stuff so long as it: 1)adds to the humor and doesn't detract from it, and 2)I don't find it where I don't want to find it. Aside from that, yeah, knock yourself out, you perverted freaks. ;)--<<>> 23:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

How many topics do we have about this already? Profanity and pornography is going to be prevalent in Uncyclopedia whether people like it or not. Stop complaining about it before I shove my foot in your mouth. --General Insineratehymn 22:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

well, I'm not the person who goes, "OMG PORN VFD VFD" --» >UF|TLK|▋» 01:00, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

That's because I have to determine if the pornographic image has satirical purpose or is just gratuitous. --General Insineratehymn 01:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

That is begging the question, seriously. ( I can see post on how too much feet are applicated towards even more mouths as I type ) --Vosnul 22:23, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Jeesus bloody motherfucking christ! I really fucking hate hate hat god-forsaken profanity! Mother of god on a bloody fucking rubber cross.

Okay, okay, we've got a lovely video displaying profanity. Now, who's gonna post one for pornography, hmmm?P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 03:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hold on. I need to recharge the battery for my camcorder. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I think the best discussion on this topic was this one, where actual examples of articles were discussed, fondled, licked, and in some cases had to receive pregnancy counseling afterwards. ----OEJ 01:15, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. My off-topic interjections were far funnier on that Forum. But enough about me; what you do think about me? This topic is cluttered with infantile foolishness of a stupid nature. If it was a regular page, it'd get VFD'd. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 01:51, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

HTBFANJS is a bad name

"How to be funny and not just stupid". Read it again. Now pay attention to the degree of pretentiousness of such phrase, trying to teach someone how to be funny (which is imposible) and at the same time implying that the reader in question is a suspected stupid for ignoring what it has to say. It's an offensive name and far disincouraging for any person with a little self-esteem. How about to change it as "acceptance guidelines" or anything else less stuck up? -- herr doktor needsAcorpse  [scream!] 04:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Because we aren't Wikipedia? Everything here is funnier and more irreverant. I like the name. Its like Pee Review. No the articles themselves aren't piss. Do you really want to win a Golden Shower award? Probably not (fetishists aside). Its funny and not too serious, as everything here should be. ~ Dame Ceridwyn ~ talk DUN VoNSE arc2.0 04:27, 30 May 2007

Hmmm... I see no humor in HTBetc. It seems a very straight, non-humorous, answer to stupid newbies. -- herr doktor needsAcorpse  [scream!] 04:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I think you're reading too much into it HerrDoktor - it means more like "How you might go about writing something that is funny, rather than writing something that is stupid, which would of course in no way imply that you are stupid, although if you are, we mean no offense." HYMGAWSTIFRTWSTISWWOCINWITYASAIYAWMNO was just a bit too long to ask people to type. (Hmm, I know I was being serious when I started writing that sentence...!) -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 09:39, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

It's been done...How you might go about writing something that is funny, rather than writing something that is stupid, which would of course in no way imply that you are stupid, although if you are, we mean no offense. Also, I use my powers for evil, sometimes. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 19:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Golf clap for MO :D ~ Dame Ceridwyn ~ talk DUN VoNSE arc2.0 10:23, 30 May 2007

How very strange that I managed to get the wording exactly the same as this page did, when it's clearly been here for ages and not just created today or anything. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 00:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Clearly you are either omniscient or psychic. Either way I'm scared! *insert Twilight Zone themesong* ~ Dame Ceridwyn ~ talk DUN VoNSE arc2.0 01:59, 31 May 2007

Am I the only one who interprests it as saying: "How to be funny and not just stupid" (extra emphasis on "just"). Are we implying that this actually teaches them how to be funny WHILE STILL being stupid, rather than just being exclusively stupid? --Hotadmin4u69 ^[TALK] 02:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

If they are stupid, there's very little we can do about it, unless we fancy getting together and paying for a private tutor. We can hopefully do something about the funny though. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 09:32, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I think it's an okay name. Odds are that if someone is offended by it, they'll probably end up being offended by everything else here, but if they have a sense of humor (which is always helpful) they shouldn't be troubled. It doesn't really teach people how to be funny so much as point them in the right direction, and let them know that stuff like this: "Amr is abu dhabis number one egging target and is egged aproximately 10 times an month and on halloween 50 times by different people, this is how amr affords to make money because if an egg dosnt crack he can sell it back to the eggers for 1 dirham, amr makes about 100 dirhams a day this way and therefore can afford to buy cigarretes" is generally not encouraged and is, indeed, stupid. --THE 12:04, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Profanity is jeesus on a feeble bleeding horse rubber cross during uncertain meteorogical conditions (i.e. sandstorm at Golgotha)

People should swear more, and do other things less. To mind spring rut, embellage, enhance, spend public funding , and really over the top blasphemy -- di Mario 21:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
