WesM Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Fellow member Wishbone has been running to teacher complaining that my avatar image should be removed. Does anyone else find this avatar offensive?? If the majority do then I will of course remove it, although I think it's amusing. Not exactly hardcore is it?

Guest Tactical Genius Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 The Tactical Genius has disabled all avatars, signatures and smiley faces. But doesn't mind in the slightest if the children wish to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_C Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Not at all offensive. some people really need to be less pc. if offended, maybe they need to be offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Kangaroo Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Not offensive to me. Why don't you set up a vote in the fan's poll section of the forum ? As for George Bush can't you put a image of his fit blonde daughter (the junkie, alcoholic one) on instead ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornelius Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Does anyone else find this avatar offensive?? ← Of course it's offensive; sea-sickness is a tragic condition that blights the employment prospects of would-be mariners the world over. Exploiting the obvious suffering of that poor woman, who is clearly about to lose her lunch over the side of a small boat, is utterly unacceptable. While we're about it, this mocks the blind; this :Sleep12: mocks sufferers from narcolepsy; this mocks muslim women. And they all take ages to download.

Not exactly hardcore is it? ← I'm with Wishbone on this one, though why you felt the need to publicly name the person shows a certain lack of respect for others' opinions. There are some avatars/pics which do 'bother' some people for often inexplicable reasons - it's not just being prudish. If you have been quietly requested to consider changing an avatar the grown up thing to have done would have been to quietly remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave L Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Personally I don't have a problem with it, but I do question whether this is an appropriate place to display an image like that. My son is now 16 and would probably find it very amusing, but I wouldn't have wanted to try and explain it to him say five years ago. Like it or not, this is a public forum open to all, and I think your avatar goes beyone what is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Get a life, are you Mary Whitehouse or summat? ← That particular avatar does not bother me ( though it doesn't do much for me either ). It was more that I agree with the principle that if it bothers someone it is easy enough to alter it. I also have just realised that's it's easy enough as a user to set your options so that they don't show people's avatars and signatures - perhaps we sensitive types should do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neo Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 It certainly does bother me!!!! The only way you can reverse my feelings is to either :- a) display the whole image OR b) advise what film this is from so that I may purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that would have better things to do than worry about a picture of a girl in the throws of passion. They really should stick to housework and only use the computer for their QVC shopping! Anyway, laters" Personally, I felt the QVC comment was a tad strong, however, agree with the sentiments mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
