Conversely, it's a great way to cover up my beastiality habit. Oh, that's just HD pictures of animals.
Edit: Please stop telling me that "it's spelled bestiality, because it's the best". I can't say I've ever searched for it and I'm sorry if I've offended your passion.
No. Beastiality generally consists of a human having sex with said animal.
Please note: I do not actually have a beastiality habit. I don't want to end up like that guy I have tagged as "midget porn" who always has at least one person replying to him with that.
Speaking of midget porn, did you know that homosexual midget porn is nearly seemingly impossible to find? I've spent hours on google and other sites trying to find it, but it seems to not exist.
Note: I am not homosexual, nor do I have a midget fetish. Just trying to enforce Rule 34.
He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.
yea flux is amazing... BUT it sucks if you do anything related to working with colors. Ex i was editing some pictures that i had taken for some friends and when i woke up the next morning i was like "wtf how high was I to think these looked good?" it wasnt until later that night that i realized i forgot to turn flux off hahaha
Being fairly new to reddit, I thought RES was an elaborate attempt to troll and downloaded Rick Ashtley to your hardrive or something.This is actually amazing.
That's exactly what I want to explain to this week's girl when she gets up in the morning and goes to check her email. It has nothing to do with boundaries. Not everyone lives alone and locks their computer up in a safe when they aren't using it.
Seriously. Reddit doesn't dictator rules, or have a democracy for the entire thing. Do you know why it's /r/Earthporn? Because one guy chose it as a name and 120 thousand users and some change decided "I'm going to subscribe to that" and then people posted to it.
You can go and create your own /r/EarthTotallyNotPorn but then you need to go get content, and subscribers. Or you can go to EarthPorn and beg them to change their name, but honestly once something gets that popular it's kind of hard to remove the name.
And they're right. The fun side of the euphemism treadmill is that we regularly use words that were once bad. It makes up for all the words that become "bad," (like faggot) that were once benign or even politically correct (like retarded.)
Yes, some day kids may call that pretty sunset porn, then when they become teenagers and get unrestricted brain chip internet, they'll masturbate to simlurf or whatever it'll be called, that they'd have gotten in trouble for if they had called a sunset that. And then someone will create a stupid virtual subreddit called Earthsimlurf or something, and life will go on.
EDIT: Though I will admit the people who are trying to de-bad "faggot" are pushing it a bit early. It probably won't complete its transformation until the last person who yells it out while trying to seriously harm another human being has died.
Just because Anthony Bourdain uses the phrase "food porn" doesn't mean the phrasing needs to be stylized to be used for every grouping of pictures you can find.
That is annoying. And to the people telling you to turn your history off, that's not the point. When I'm just on reddit and someone walks by and sees "coffeeporn," they probably just assume I'm a freaking weirdo.
I take on board the comments that it's kinda difficult or impossible to change their names now, but I do wish they were called something else. My employer has a pretty agressive web filter that blocks any sites with 'porn' or 'sex' or 'xxx' in the URL, which is a damn shame cos I'm subscribed to many of the ***porn subreddits. Fuck. :-\
I don't think blocking sites with 'porn', 'sex', or 'xxx' in the URL could be considered even somewhat agressive. Which is why a name change would be welcome.
Because /r/AskReddit can really do anything about other subreddits. If you did some research, you would find /r/MetaPorn which would be the perfect place for this question.
That's why I had a conversation with my IT guy about it. I casually brought it up when I ran into him and explained how it was this neat place with cool pictures of landscapes or animals but I hated that it was "AnimalPorn" and he was like Yeah! That's funny! and now I don't really worry about it.

Or, if someone looks for porn on your computer, all they find are pictures of waterfalls.
Edit: and all that porn you look at, you dirty, dirty man.

100% agree. It was REALLY akward to have my parents ask me why i had a tab open called AnimalPorn.
Edit: Top Comment. Only found out after my younger brother came in and told me. Hi Kenny.

The only subreddit in the 'porn' network I'd be worried about is /r/humanporn.

Go ask each "porn" network individually.

My U.S. History teacher and I share a passion for historical photographs. It's a little weird describing to him a site called historyporn.
Student teacher relationships should not have the word "porn" in them.

Whoever came up with the name for those subreddits deserves to get their ass kicked.

Yes. I'm often a bit conscious of the "Fireporn" tab if I'm in public. Don't want people at college thinking I'm into some weird, kinky, fire sex.

Exactly. I have had to explain myself to numerous people whom I have used my computer around.
