Not trying to create a struggle sesh, just want to facilitate a discussion on the matter: Is sexual content of any kind okay, or not okay, here?

I'm using an alt to avoid potential retaliation, but have been a user for over a year, and it's just that the stance on sexual content/jokes seems to fluctuate alot. One week some sexual discussion/jokes are okay, the other there's seemingly zero tolerance.

I get not wanting full-on porn posts or unironic :awooga:-ing or stuff like that, but I feel like there's some nuance before it gets to those extreme points.

Sex is cool, good, funny and a huge part of life for most people imo, and I think as long as it's not porn or sexist ogling, there should be some wiggle room before something gets removed.

    Its fun to skirt the rules sometimes - the 'panting' emote exists after all - and sex is a big part of being gay so there necessarily has to be some space for it here. But the volcel joke exists for good reasons; for me, even though I am a disgusting pervert with a collection of thousands of odd sexual lovers, I enjoy it because every time I see someone say anything that might suggest they are a cis heterosexual I go bright pink and start puffing and groaning and clasping my temples. If I find out a poster I like is straight I mentally change their sex just so I can keep reading their posts.

    This site's userbase, despite the impression created by the tireless and honorable spamming efforts of its prominent gender-terrorists, is still dominated significantly by men, by straight people, and by cis people. Joking aside, that's fine (and to be expected as a reddit clone full of redditors), some of them are I'm sure good people. But that means without intervention or exclusion the sexual attitudes common among that ilk would become the most prominent ones found on the website. And I doubt even the straight cis men here would want that; to be here now as anyone means, I think, that you are most comfortable feeling like you are in a place dominated by transmen (due to the shitposts), transwomen (due to the ranting effortposts), and bisexuals (due to the mascot). To exclude discussion of sex is to let that illusion live, hopefully to later become reality (through making people become gay and trans by reading posts)

      When Hexbear sends its people, it's not sending its best. It's sending people that have lots of sex, and they're bringing that sex with them. They're cisgender. They're heterosexual. They're allosexual. And some, I assume, are good people.
