Matt Smith's Doctor is quirky, but you don't see him getting a boner over unusual attire. There is a difference between quirk and fetish, but it's so subtle hardlys anyone ever notices. With that out of the way, I do think it's better to keep things like this private (as they always should have been). Fetishes are by nature abnormal attractions, which often disturb other people who don't understand the fascination.

Even though the quirk is not depicted as blatantly sexual, it has that effect with the one who invokes it. It should be obvious that such is inproper here. The demand is that this public board remain quirk free. This does not count for your deviantArt, other art accounts, Youtube accounts, IMs and so on. Only this board.Belchic: Remember that this is about the entire board and all of it's members, not just you. Seems to me by what you say that quirks is the only reason you visit these boards. If that's not true, then stay and try work with us for -once- in making this board a better place for everyone. Matt Smith's Doctor is quirky, but you don't see him getting a boner over unusual attire. There is a difference between quirk and fetish, but it's so subtle hardlys anyone ever notices. I am pretty sure we use the word "quirk" on here because someone got the word "kink" wrong..

Everyone has quirks/kinks... Not everyone, needs to know them... I have mine, I'm not sharing...
Those who know me well enough, know a few... Those that don't know me, shouldn't know...
I support this idea...

Not everyone, needs to know them... I have mine, I'm not sharing... Those who know me well enough, know a few... Those that don't know me, shouldn't know... Is one of them for ellipses?

Well I will state my opposition to this, though I am sure it won't do a bit of good with all the support this has. I for one have never been disturbed by any of the quirks here, and I don't see why anyone would be. The quirks aren't blatantly sexual, so why do you care if one person gets sexual arousal from them? I don't see the problem here. And without the quirks being sexual in nature, what is the problem with minors seeing it? If they see anything sexual out of these quirks it is because they already have a sexual mind. To anyone else it just looks like these people just have an interest in these types of things. In fact, when I first learned of the quirks here, I thought nothing of them at all. I just though these people liked these types of things... so whatever floats their boat was that I thought. The idea of them being sexual didn't even cross my mind until someone else mentioned it. Yeah, I am probably an idiot, but I just don't see what you guys are all worked up about. It doesn't seem right to restrict the freedom to mention quirks. It seems like you are saying that they can't talk about something that would normally be perfectly acceptable if it weren't for the fact that they happen to have a fetish for it and get... uh maybe pleasure? l in their own mind while still talking about something that wouldn't bother you if you didn't know it was a fetish. Yes I may be an idiot but I REALLY don't see the problem with it. And it's not like they are forcing you to discuss or accept their quirks. If you don't like them you could just ignore them. Telling someone they can't mention something here just seems like something that shouldn't be done unless there is an extreme problem. And I haven't seen the quirks causing problems lately.

I really don't know what to say at this point.

When in doubt, remain silent...
Best advice I can give...
MMG makes a good point... Nothing is blatantly sexual...
But, a restriction should be placed so that there isn't a future issue with fetishes and kinks that are blatant...

To Bab: Well Shadow explained what I meant, Bab. They would basically be restricted to private discussions (im rp's or pm's on here). But it would not stop people like you or Olwe from posting artwork of your quirks, so you wouldn't have to worry about that To Bishop: They should be private, thank you for agreeing. To Oddy: I agree to prevent future drama, thanks for the support. Since the majority seem to approve this idea... I think I'll send Sparky an IM today so we can discuss it more.
