  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Everything is inherently political if you look at it broadly enough. But, yes, you could make a case that discussions of religion should fall under rule 8. However, it's another matter entirely to forbid people from using characters that exist in-universe just because those characters could...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    In a legal sense, yes, it certainly is. Whether religion influences politics in the US is another matter, though.... What we meant by that is that you're basically just complaining about the rules not being what you want them to be and the manner in which you were informed about it. You did...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Yeah, this seems like a rant, mostly. They asked for clarification on the rules surrounding this, but I'm pretty sure the rule is "there isn't a rule", so....

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Based on previous comments and the general context of this dispute, I think he's from India. I don't think India has an official religion, but I don't think it has anything as stringent as the US First Amendment (most countries don't, honestly).

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Sure, but this isn't a fic about religion, it's a fic about a fictional character who happens to be based on a character from someone's religion. Then what did you report it for? Sure, but it's sure as hell not a forum for upholding the beliefs of religious people.

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Politics is banned because politics caused a bunch of arguments and isn't really fundamental to anything this site does. And the point of saying "it's fiction" is that it's not an attack on a real person, thus it doesn't fall foul of rule 1. When you're on a board about said "nerd's 2D...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    I don't care if they're your religious views or not, my point still stands. You're trying to force me to follow other people's religious beliefs. And Hindu nationalists in general are certainly not respectful to people of other religions, or to atheists, yet I rarely see people calling for...
  8. Cherry Lover

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    No, I'm ignoring it because they're your religious beliefs, not mine. I don't particularly like people treating me like I deserve eternal torture for the heinous crime of thinking for myself, but I don't get to tell them not to do it. I don't see why I should show their beliefs the kind of...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Funny, because I've seen absolutely zero evidence of people doing that for all the other fics, artwork etc. involving Kama and Parvati. You get an occasional Hindu nationalist bitching about them existing at all, but those just get ignored. And, sorry, but "lots of people find this offensive"...
  10. Cherry Lover

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    I don't think using slurs in a fic is actually banned either. Only directly attacking an individual is. But, regardless, no, "I find this offensive" is not, in itself, a reason to ban something, nor is "someone else might find this offensive". Anything can be offensive, and I imagine there are...
  11. Cherry Lover

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Yes, that would be perfectly fine, because you don't get to demand that other people follow your religious beliefs. Personally, I find fics where Sakura gets causally murdered offensive. But I don't get to demand that they should be banned. I don't see why you should be allowed to demand a ban...
