So should we allow people to post racist and homophobic remarks then? Who cares if people are offended?
Another female here and another one who doesn't care if the YLYL thread exists. I no longer go into it.
It's not the pictures, it's again the comments. 5/10, would not bang, etc. The problem is not jsut within the thread itself, the problem has grown to any thread discussing any woman. Every single thread discussing women asks for a picture because a woman's worth is apparently determined by her looks, followed by a discussion about whether or not that woman is 'bangable'.
Having a thread like this which is on the front page of the offtopic every day makes it seem like comments like these are okay. And so they continue. Everywhere. It is one of the largest threads on this board and comments like that are throughout it so it must be okay to objectify women on this site. And so they are.
IMO, allowing threads like this is for the lowest common denominator. This is a hockey site with an off-topic forum. If you want fap material, I can point you to a million places on the internet so you can find pics of half naked women and discuss their rating out of 10 and whether or not you would bang.
