The mods must absolutely continue this crusade of equality that they started by deleting the YLYL thread. They now need to force others with inappropriate avatars to change them immediately. Why wait? My suggestion to you instead of being a hypocrite by now applying our argument against us (which obviously didnt work) would be to remove it voluntarily.

Crusade of inequality? First of all, it would be a crusade for equality. We are trying to be inclusive, not exclusive. Doesn't matter though, because it's not a crusade. Please don't paint our desire to want less sexism on the board as though we are all hoping the board turns into a great place to talk about paint drying.
I don't think I am being a hypocrite. I expressed my opinions about a thread on the board, not anyone's avatar. I will take down my topless oily Regehr if all the guys with boob/ass avatars take theirs down. I don't personally feel that's necessary that we all take our avatars down, however if the mods decide that's fair and in line with community expectations, I will do so.

I understood it was sarcasm but applying it to your avatar doesn't hold the same validity since its not located in a separate thread but rather shows up everywhere that you post. I never mentioned anything about the forum becoming monotonous through this newly inspired crusade but i find it telling that you would. You are absolutely being a hypocrite, how can you complain about sexism regarding the thread but then become indifferent when it comes to our avatars? There is no poll needed here or opinions to be taken, by deleting the YLYL the mods have made it clear that objectifying pictures have no place in CP and in turn that should apply to either gender.
Your oily Regehr is exactly that, it objectifies men and it along with any other inappropriate avatars, should be deleted immediately.
