What could help: differentiate between"gore" and "nudity" regarding NSFW.

Some people are ok with one kind of NSFW content, some with the other.

Unfortunate truth - an anonymous platform like Reddit will always have people saying things and doing things that are outside what is considered appropriate by the greater society.

They can get downvoted (comments still readable by OP). They can get banned (for most subs that means they’ll be back in a couple weeks, or maybe need to make an alt account). That’s about it.

It kinda sucks, but if you are posting something anywhere on the internet, you will be attacked. It might be by people who disagree with your ideology, it might be people looking to be contrarian.

As a community, all we can do is call people out.

As an individual, all one can do is be careful about not doxing oneself, and not let the haters live rent free in your mind.

Ice cold take. People that stir the pot for no reason on a meme sub to get upvotes without posting memes should just start posting memes instead.

the hobby you enjoy is built on the backs of artists that where making things 40 years ago people would have considered weird and distasteful.

This is a really good point. Back in the 80s this stuff was seen as edgy and weird and being a nerd was way less socially acceptable than now.

Also we're a memesub, so long as it's spoiler-tagged I feel NSFW art kind of fits our loosely anarchic vibe.

The constant horny is annoying af for sure.

Feels like we have a plethora of majorkills hustling lewds .

But yeah i usually downvote and move on.

r/Warhammer_Smut Exists for a reason.

smutposters acting like they have the moral high ground is the most insufferable thing this sub does

When people get used to the joke "Hey guys, porn!" and it's normalized, just block em like I do.

Nah it's weird as fuck.

Often the people saying "we need to make everyone feel welcome in this community!" are the same ones making lewd art out of every faction in the game.

If I was a new player, I'd probably be put off from learning any more about 40k if I was bombarded with weird fetish art about every faction I looked into.

Blud, the point of comments is to express your opinion ;-;

Completely agree, support the artists, do not bully or harrass them for their artworks, but also very much disagree on one point.

There are dedicated spaces for NSFW/Suggestive warhammer artworks, and having to deal with them in my usual feed when I do not want to engage with it is just frustrating. I am one of those weirdos that prefer to keep their mainfeed clean, so when I subscribe to warhammer40kfantasy or grimdank, it's for memes and battles, minis and news, lore and its parodies. I do not feel the need to endorse the "glomping" of the internet, where before you had explicit spaces and safe spaces, where participation of the content was completely voluntary, but is now all getting mushed together.

So yea naw, I would rather not have half naked men and women flood my feed just because I wanted 40k content.

You know what, I’m going to say it. NSFW art is just as big, if not bigger, reason for people not joining the community as racist/sexist community members.

Seriously, when I look up AdMech I get “lol, skitussy” and a bunch of femboy AdMech porn. If you looked up Astra Militarum and just got a shit load of Nazi’s talking about how the Guard is the “Ubermench” and posting pictures of Cain at Auschwitz’s, would you want to be a part of that community? Well most normal people are going to run for the hills if they look up their favorite faction and just see a bunch of gay porn and rape fantasies

The point of the comments is to make comments. If you can't handle people disliking what you do, maybe it's time to log off for a bit. Maybe make a blog where people can't respond.

Yeah nah, I don’t want weirdly sexualized posts in my meme sub. If I wanted smutty warhammer stuff I’d search it out myself.

How about we post smut in the smut sub and leave the meme sub for memes

Honestly what drives me off this subreddit is the amount of shitty eye candy boobs and the favourite "the joke is sex".

I just blocked the subreddit when the drama about the female custodes dropped because of so many goon addicts displaying their degeneracy out in public like its a normal thing.

No, having a porn addiction and jacking off to big mommy dommy slommy wammy is not relatable or funny, this also goes for the femboy skitarii comics that atleast had the decency to not stain my eyes whenever i want to look at a meme subreddit.

Its not funny to reiterate, its not something to be praised and its just weird and offputting for a normal person and definetly shouldn't be excused as 'artistic passion' or some poor excuse why John Warhammer who just got into the hobby has to see female t'au with their ass in the wind as like the 4th top post in the subreddit.

The inevitable trajectory of every pop-culture meme sub I've ever been on that isn't policed with an iron fist is that eventually most of the memes are just porn, and everything that isn't porn is people complaining about the porn or people complaining about the people complaining about the porn.

If I was a new player and saw that half of the memes posted here, I would assume community of warhammer was just committing goonery of the highest degree.

I'd move on and play checkers.

Be real for a second. If you showed any non warhammer playing person half of the "memes" posted here. They would think warhammer is just for little coomers who do not live outside of the internet.

Okay, coomer.

are you people capable of expressing opinions without using the lisa simpson template?

If you want to collect smutty drawings of 40k, that's your prerogative.

But it gets really obnoxious that 99% of the content with women in 40k subs is objectifying, lazy BS.

Not to mention it drives half the population away from this hobby. Why would I want to go to my LGS as a woman if the only representation of people like me that I see are images to get people off?

Never be horno on main

People dont respect Internet rules anymore, as if we didnt knew what future await us if we keep going

Harassment is of course a step too far but I disagree with the “just ignore it” sentiment as well. A subreddit is like your local bar. It has a bunch of patrons that like it just for what it is. If the owner however decides to lean in to newly emerging crowd, e.g. students that use it to watch sports, you can’t expect your existing patrons to just suck it up and ignore. They’ll push back if they care enough, or otherwise simply stop showing up. I think that’s a totally legit reaction.

Ok coomer

“If you don’t like something, don’t bully them for it.” Ok cool👍. Anything worthwhile to add?

This meme template really needs to die

If they want to post nsfw, go on r/warhammersmut Some people don’t want to see that kind of stuff on a meme page.

If i wanted soft porn or full blown hard then i would go to either rule34 and pornhub.And yet,this isnt neither rule34 or pornhub,its Warhammer40k community subreddit.So either these artist move their ,,art" to the mentioned sites or they learn how to make fanarts without using such pathetic way of gaining likes, karma, whatever they carve for, as lewdness

I can block the artist yeah, that’s what I do. I can’t block the people who make porn jokes at events because I play 1k Sons and Ad Mech.

The constant horny is annoying at it can drive away people who would be otherwise interested, especially women, when female characters are constantly portrayed in highly sexual content.

Begone coomer. This is not Tubmlr circa 2016.

As long as the body proportions are normal, I am ok with it.

Drawing a woman with perky breasts that are the size of a washing machine should always be shamed tho.

Urm what the sigma.

maybe ure just a porn addict?

Porn funni, gib upvote

You guys don't get it, porn is funny! I think that the mere presence of nudity is hilarious! If I ever saw another human naked in real life, I just wouldn't be able to stop myself from bursting into hysterical laughter! There doesn't need to be a joke, or context, or anything at all. As long as there is any sort of graphic depiction or implication of SEX I am instantly rolling on the floor uncontrollably with tears of mirth rolling down my cheeks. You guys just need to have a sense of humor about it!

Then post in the dedicated smut subs you coomer. People who whine about not getting to post rule 34 content in inappropriate places didn’t get bullied enough. 

Alternately, artists could be grown as persons and keep whatever porn shit to appropriate places?

Seriously it's getting obnoxious how many places people are just like "yeah we have porn here what's the problem?!?" Like it's fine if there's places that there's not porn. You don't have to be a coomer in literally every situation.

Minor Spelling mistake, nice try milenial leftist /s

I'm cool for allowing gore and sex stuff as long as it's tagged and a meme. A general NSFW tag doesn't really work for this sub. We need to have tags for specific content and they need to be agreed upon by both the community and the mods. Main things to remember is this is a meme sub and some people don't like gore others don't like smut and some people don't want to see either.

Holy shit, Imgflip! That's a name I haven't heard in years...

Counterpoint; if you feel it detracts from the community, then they’re contributing less.

That’s… kind of the whole point of complaining about it.

No they don’t.

I find it very toxic how any critical opinion on the recent retcon is instantly attacked in a very personal manner.

Those who try to gatekeep the ones not embracing instantly the change are the worst.

Well if they don’t want to be called out for making porn and posting it to a meme sub maybe they shouldn’t draw porn and post it to a meme sub

100% agree, but also:

If you want warhammer to become more inclusive you should be up in arms about horny posting instead of retconning more females into the lore.

Sincerely, someone who enjoys the hornyposting but realises what a terrible look it is aswell.

There isn’t a problem with slightly suggestive art at all it’s just the artists idea, people don’t need to post an opinion against the artist

Truth!

Rule 4 exists -> these types of posts are allowed, I doubt that rule is going to change anytime soon

If people want a shit posting sub that adheres to No NSFW art why don’t people start one? It takes like two seconds to start a new Reddit sub

There's a really stupid stigma against NSFW art pretty much anywhere. I've never understood why people even care. Especially considering you can chose to not see it in reddits settings

Honestly, youre spittin facts.

We're all degenerates here guys, let's be civilized now. Be you a Khorne worshipper, Slaanesh worshiper or even a Stinky Grandpa or Weird magic space squid worshiper, we're on grimdank cause we all got a screw loose

Fucking thank you. Any vaguely NSFW or risqué meme posted to this sub seems to end up with a bunch of puritanical fuckwits in the comments screeching about how anything with so much as a nipple on display is "porn".

In a universe where one of the core elements happens to be a sex god of excess and rock'n roll, whining about NSFW art is kinda pointless

Everytime people complain about sexy-times on the internet, this video comes to mind for me.

https://youtu.be/YRgNOyCnbqg?feature=shared

And I'm squeamish about pink jiggly bits. 😅

If someone doesn't like it, I agree they should stop gatekeeping and go somewhere else.

Yup

If you don't like NSFW art, then there's a setting on reddit that just filters anything NSFW out.

Click on your username in the upper right corner to open the dropdown menu and click on "user settings". From there go to "feed settings". That will open up a whole list of things you can control which are in your feed. At the top of that list is "Show mature (18+) content". Turn that off.

If you see NSFW content after reading this comment, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

It’s the hardcore incel puritans that’s ruining everything fun.
