Why is it wrong to prefer PG avatars as well? I don't think objecting to bulging crotch shots on avatars (Peanut's) means you can't also support deleting the YLYL thread.
I don't get why some posters can't reconcile the issues as two branches on the same tree.

I think my comments have been a bit misinterpreted by you and woob so I will clarify.
It is not wrong to prefer PG avatars as well. I often browse the site at work and I agree it is more appropriate.
I was just trying to point out that in response to well-thought out posts about why posters support the thread being deleted and the goal to make the board more inclusive, the focus was solely on 1 avatar objectifying men when there are several avatars and comments throughout the board objectifying women.
There were never actually any valid counterarguments (that I saw when I read this thread) to taking the thread down. Just complete focus on EG's avatar, when that 1 avatar of a man is peanuts compared to the comments about women that are pervasive throughout the Board.
I agree that the avatar should have been changed as they all should, but I'm a little saddened how that is all the countering-side focused on in the debate.
