The type of comments you're mentioning, come from a very, very small portion of users and have been condemned by almost everyone in this thread.

I agree, in the past I've only briefly checked out the YLYL a few times for the pictures and never paid much attention to the commentary.
I did enjoy the hot Olympians thread ( and had no problem with the female posters posting men in that thread) I thought both were fine, and voted to keep as is.
After all the negative comments about the YLYL thread from a few posters in this thread particularly the female members I decided to have a look back to see what all the fuss was about. I went back a few months only to find the 2 posts with the most thanks were posts made by photon rightfully chastising another poster's harsh and childish comments about a picture posted.
I then used the search this thread function since it is such a big thread of over 300 pages and 4 years old using the words Eastern girl says are common in there like "bang" "destroy" "wreck" .... Tap and hit unfortunately were to short for the search function to find. The results found in over 300 pages and 4 years , is that those terms were barely used at all and when the terms were used it wasn't in the context she implied. I'm sure there is some negative comments I missed doing it this way but using the results as an example shows how exaggerated the problem is. Anyone can check for themselves to see.
Basically I think this has been a witch hunt by members who do not even go into the YLYL thread other than to find something to be outraged about, trying to shine the thread into a more negative light just for their own social-political reasons.
I'm sure there is the odd questionable comment in there but not to the degree portrayed by the members against it in here, and no more than other countless threads in the off topic section. And if there is a questionable remark reporting that singular post to a moderator is easy enough to do ,rather than banning an entire thread.
