Keith Houchen Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The worst thread every year is the “Phwoar, check this bird out, lads, I’d love to have it off with her” thread, but Ratings out of those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JLM Posted January 30 Paid Members Share Posted January 30 Threads like that feel like a bit of hangover from when the forum was 99% horny teenage boys, rather than 99%  adult men with families and kids and that. Of course the women of the forum are free to post in those topics too, but from experience they usually don’t, and so they feel very boys-clubby.  I also post on RLLMUK, a gaming forum, and it’s gone through a similar transition to this one. They had a thread called “the female form” which in fairness was a lot more horny than the hotties thread here, but they got rid of it because the few women who posted there said it made them feel uncomfortable.  I’m not campaigning for any threads here to be deleted and I don’t claim to speak for the women who post here. I personally don’t find the less commercial hotties thread particularly offensive or objectionable, but I can see why somebody might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title of it is maybe a bit mysoginistic, but I think the majority of posters aren't using it in that way? I am unbelievably naive though, so happy to be proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 As one of the few women here, the thread has never made me feel uncomfortable, definitely in recent years anyway. I've never seen anyone overly objectifying women or anything like that, just posting people they find attractive. I don't post men in it but I wouldn't feel like I couldn't if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Yeah, in terms of "objectifying women" or whatever, I think it's not a thread that is full of horrendous comments or anything like that. I've definitely seen a lot worse online. I can see why some may take offence, and if they did then it'd be worth looking into locking, but I think it's a mostly innocent topic. People find other people attractive. I think that's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 2 Paid Members Share Posted February 2 I’ve seen far worse comments pop up completely out of context in some of the wrestling threads than in the specified ones in Off Topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
