Gravity cat Posts

We have catgirl and monster girl.

We did used to have Kemonomimi which broadly incorporated kitsune, catgirls, and dog girls but they were split. Catgirl is now its own thing, everything else is grouped under monster girl.

The catgirl tag broadly includes cosplay and an actual catgirl, but it will either be accompanied by Cosplay or Monster Girl to differentiate.

Unless you just meant you want more Monster Girl then yes.

Filtering it out, blocking the tag whole, both sound to me like the same thing.
Unless you're under the impression I meant blocking the tag completely for everyone, in which case I never insinuated that.


Alright, but how many of these sites have licensed content?

Again, I feel this is to give artists the exposure for their work. They're paying them for it, after all.


The front page is very long, and it sounds like you're reading content fairly regularly. So there's probably a lot of content you've either already read or ignored, and won't need to scroll down further because you're just feeding the same information to yourself. So why would you need it off the front page, in that case?

All of the yaoi is grouped together, and there's like 8 of them. If you scroll past that, there is other content.

People keep saying this but I am curious, why is it a big deal, exactly?

The potential problem with allowing tag exclusions in general is shutting yourself off to content and never coming out of your comfort zone, in terms of content. You say yaoi will never be your thing and I respect that, but you can't allow a specific exclusion for yaoi without allowing an exclusion for the rest of the tags on the site. And they've already stated they don't want to do that, as Chris mentions here. The fact that Fakku is a business that has licenses to the content they host may account for the decision to not have tag filtering.


Can you name the sites that does this?


You can tag search "blowjob -yaoi"; it'll search for works tagged with blowjobs, and omit any works tagged with yaoi in it.
Though yeah notifications does ignore other tags and at times they just up and fucking break for no reason, so it's not a perfect solution.


Not all content on the front page will be to everyone's liking. Uploaded content is never going to please everyone.

My point was it's not that big of a deal.
So there was a big dump of yaoi, so what? Most of the content the site gets is vanilla.

Very few websites use tag exclusion and I don't see why a business that deals in hentai has to either. The OP used [piracy site] as a thinly-veiled example of tag filtering, and while it's true it does have tag filtering, setting up a tag is a pretty complicated affair and there's no list of tags to choose from. [piracy site] also isn't a business so they're not paying anyone to have their work hosted on the site; uploads are made by the community, which funnily enough is what Fakku used to do before it went legit. We didn't have tag exclusion then either. The other thing [piracy site] has is related to categories like Game CGs or Cosplay, which Fakku doesn't have; only the occasional poster.

I might also remind you this website has a search function, as well as a page dedicated to tags. You can also follow a certain tag to be notified when something in that tag gets uploaded. The uploads on the main page also clearly displays tags, so you can choose to just, you know, ignore it.

Yaoi is a pretty niche tag as-is, and is very far and few between. Other things have been getting uploaded to go along with it. I'm not particularly fond of Yaoi myself, but I don't wish to block the tag entirely. I'm sure you can survive a single dump of it.

yes

i can't help it its funny to see people react to it

Seems to have been fixed; my posts, and by extension everyone else's, are correctly displaying the right times.

Aye, it's showing the wrong time for me as well. It was fine until now. Don't know when it borked though.

It's telling me it's 4:16pm on the 24th June 2019. But it's midnight on the 25th where I am. -1 and +1 correctly come up as 11:16 and 1:16, respectively. It's just 0.

Pfff, and where is he now

Checkmate, atheists

It's me.

I'm the mascot.

Shamone, motherfucker.

What is it with these fucking spambots and their necroposting.

List view is good for mobile and it feels clean. Plus it's the kind of format the site's used for nearly a decade. It shows most of the necessary information and it just works.

Grid view is a very jarring difference because the site's used List view for so long, and I worry that showing only the product without showcasing information will do more harm than good. This can be remedied with a hover-over box which pops up with more crucial bits of information, such as tags, the artist, and magazine it was published in, then that'd be boners points. It can potentially showcase more content without using so much vertical space, and can perhaps even make room for other elements of navigation or Book advertising to the site - sort of like a typical hentai-anime site - I think I'd be down for that.

I'm going to be a little greedy and say both; each have their pros and cons. Perhaps make it a toggle-able option using buttons on the main page. That's if it's technically viable and isn't too much of an issue for site development times.

I voted I don't care because I like both in concept. But if I were forced to pick just one, if a hover-over box pops up with the necessary information, I'd lean more towards grid.

You can check out, but you can never leave.

Sankaku Renai Love Triangle Trouble

I tried to suggest it with the tag suggestor thing but it told me I needed to suggest it on the forums because it's a controversial tag.
This game has a blood-related incest route, so I feel like it needs the incest tag. If it was left out because it's a controversial tag then, fair enough.

Not E3 but Nintendo Treehouse went into detail about Pokémon Sword and Shield. Looking forward to that despite concerns about the limited 'mons in the 'dex.
I still need to get BotW, I heard good things about it. Many of the devs of Xenoblade 2 worked on it.
Astral Chain.
Curious about Cyberpunk, but not because of Keanu Reeves.
I'd like to try out the FF7 remake. I've never played one. Never grew up with it.


Bethesda's one was very underwhelming, but I liked the cinematic for Elder Scrolls Online. The Khajiit hissing at the dragon was oddly adorable. I learned that bat wings heal on their own if ripped because I googled it when the dragon's wing membrane got ripped.

That's all that immediately springs to mind.

I've had the opposite problem; I've been getting a select few notifications not appear.

When Freak responded to me in my thread in Serious Discussion I didn't get notified. I don't have that turned off. And yet I'm still getting notifications that I responded to my own thread, even when I create them.

That I'm not 100% certain about. The TVs we have do require tuning so I assume it's got something to do with that. Either that or you have to be reported by someone.

Edit: According to the website I linked in the spoiler tag in the OP, they have a few ways.



The tone they use on that page is intimidatory in nature, and in my opinion bordering on tyrranical, but they're just a business run by humans. I don't think they're as omniscient about who has a License as this page would make it seem. No doubt they have a database, but the vans sound a bit far fetched.

If you don't know what a TV License is, basically it's a yearly "subscription" to watch TV. In the U.K it primarily funds the BBC, but unlike most subscriptions it has legal backing so you can get fined for recording or enjoying content off the TV without one, with jail as a last resort. This is in contrast to modern subscriptions which simply cut off the service if you don't pay, and no more will be said about it. It used to be a criminal offense to watch TV without a License but this was changed in 2015, with a narrow margin in favour. Which is good, because a criminal offense over a TV is fucking retarded.



However some of the predictions that decriminalising not having a TV License will put the BBC into financial disarray seems to be coming true; I guess the scummy act of benefitting financially from ruining someone's life over paying an obscene amount of money for TV was pretty profitable. The BBC aren't making as much money as they used to and now claims it can't afford the free licenses it currently has, and now wants to relinquish free TV for over 75s, and instead blanket-force everyone to pay for a TV license, unless you're over 75 and can prove you're claiming pension credits so your household will then retain its free license when this rolls out in June 2020.

Naturally there are concerns about it, with the most obvious being the elderly who cannot pay for it and those who are eligible for a pension credit but don't claim, so they'd have to pay as well. The BBC says it's the only way to avoid cutbacks both for channels and hired staff, and they argued that "many over-75s are increasingly wealthy and it could not afford the cost of providing them with a service for free." They've also thought about how they're going to roll this out by informing those with a free license that things will be changing, and have a free helpline to help them out if they have concerns.


Personally, I feel like this is a step in the wrong direction. The BBC have grown too big for their own good and rely on an increasingly redundant system as their primary source of income, and are effectively punishing those who they've extended a free license to to keep them afloat. They're struggling to sustain themselves. I've personally never felt the necessity behind the TV License, and I feel that if any company tried starting up in the current age with the BBC's practises they'd be told to go fuck themselves and would very quickly go out of business. The BBC had the advantage of popping up and enforcing the License before the Age of Information and have had government and legal support throughout the years, but has done very little to adapt and are now aggressively monopolising what they've built up behind the TV License Paywall. BBC iPlayer is a good example of this. I feel that many generations are familiar with and accept the License just because it's always been a thing in their lives, but the BBC has done quite little in terms of earning money to really adapt and it's pretty evident that they're hemorrhaging money. Rather than reform/abolish free licenses, they should've reformed the way they make and manage their finances. Not only that but the stark difference between a TV License and other subscriptions makes alternate methods of entertainment more appealing. Users can dictate what entertainment they view rather than what the company tells them to, and if you don't pay then the service would simply be cut off until you start paying again. No fines, unless you cause them problems and you're in the wrong but that's a given.
