OPINION POLL: Underage content

[chicago]

Oh wonderfull.I never much cared for TT anyway.I am registered there however.I am going to request that i be removed from the membership rolls.I want nothing whatever to do with that place.

I am thinking of doing the exact same thing.

 

[Master feathers]

my view

I dont believe underage anything should be allowed on this site ...plain and simple

 

[tcklft]

Check out the results of Viper's poll on the Tickletheater. It is worded identically, and currently about 60% of respondents have voted in favor of images involving kids. Many of the posts in the thread itself are rather disturbing, as well.

Ew. Just ... ew.

 

[NavelTickler75]

I think that while its innocent in most of our eyes, in the eyes of a pedophile who would make the tickling fetishs look bad, it is just fuel for the fire against us.

 

[The Bandito]

Why the heck would ANY sexual fetish site allow ANY pictures of ANY children be posted ANYWHERE on their site???!!???? 😕 😕 😕

How is this site any different from a bondage site? Or a foot fetish site? Or any other sexual fetish site?? I mean, unless people are looking at these sites for intellectual purposes (and I hope they are not).

Vote "no" people. Please for the love of all that is decent and clean and not icky and sick and wrong - VOTE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Goodieluver]

The issue that TT is arguing is anime\magna pics that can be child like, as are much of anime in that they dont look "adult"

After readin the thread, people are saying anime tk is ok but are not justifying human kids in tk situations
There is a difference

That is,to me,a distenction without a difference.Just my opinion.

 

[Mitchell]

My vote, no underage tickling content of any kind. Cartoon, lifelike, stories, pictures, whatever. 18 and up on this site, period, and anything else does not belong.

Seeing as how this site is an adult fetish site dedicated to tickling, even a cartoon picture, or story, where the underage character is not tickled, doesn't seem appropriate.

It may also blur the lines for some people as to what's allowed, what isn't, what's appropriate, what isn't, and may open up a can of worms that the mods here don't want to deal with, and many of us certainly don't want to see.

It's bad enough that there is such a problem with underage members (myself included, as I registered too young), but I feel if you need to be 18 to view this site, 18 to be a member, 18 to buy porn, etc, then if you write a story or create a picture, your characters should all be of age.

You used to be able to drink and smoke at age 18, but now it's 21. Sooner or later, a "Nanny" politician will propose raising the age on all the above as well. And it will pass.

In Kansas,Missouri and most states that i am aware of,18 is the legal age to smoke.But this is getting the thread off track.

 

[Soda83pop]

Every site I have ever been a part, whether it be contributing, modding, or even starting, I always felt the age limit had to be held onto, if for no other reason than survival. I didnt bad things happen to good people because usename IL000VEBritneySpears!!!!!!!11111111 was dying to see pictures of her then 15 year old feet (Im dating myself clearly...forgive me). I have always hated the "20 more days 'til celebrity X is 18" threads too. Too many grown women to be focusing on the Disney channel stars.

However, and this does need to be brought up, what our culture in the states deems as underage and other nationalities is quite different. That is one of the reasons I would let it slide if a European or Asian member questioned the age rule: Where they are from 15 and 16 are about the same as our 18. Its a cultural difference.

But no, I dont support it either, not even in cartoons.

 

[Texas_Tickle]

I voted for no. And while there is nothing wrong with innocent tickling, this is an adult web page, and should remain as such.

 

[loco_tickler]

I voted wrong but as Ticklemaster stated this is a adult tickling forum, And most members take tickling here as a fetish.So i say its wrong to accept underage tickling content as sexual,innocent,or otherwise.

 

[chicago]

You used to be able to drink and smoke at age 18, but now it's 21. Sooner or later, a "Nanny" politician will propose raising the age on all the above as well. And it will pass.

You know, if they raised the ages of most things, I wouldn't be against it.

If they raised the driving age, the drinking age, the smoking age, the buying porn age, I wouldn't have a problem.

Most KIDS my age can't handle any of that stuff anyway.

At any rate, what's your point?

 

[xticklefanx]

if tickling the children or teenagers(16-18) is in a sexual nature then no i dont thinks appropriate but if its in a playful manner i dont see anything wrong with talking about like your 16 year old cousin tickling you or tickling your little cousin if your not talking in a sexual manner. but hey thats just my opinion.

 

[wendynpeter]

ABSOLUTELY not. Not for photos, stories or drawings (and that includes those aliens that are argued to be adults on planet Nutjob or wherever, but look exactly like human 12 year olds).

The reason I came to TMF from TT was because most of TT's members and the folks who run it are so young themselves that they don't see much difference between themselves and 16-year olds (according to the mods I spoke with there). Underage stuff was a real problem there, and I left to find a much more mature membership at TMF.

I've begun to see some faces here from TT. I hope this isn't cause to worry.

Yeah, that may be ok in any normal setting.

But this is a tickling fetish website, complete with banners of naked women being tickled at the top and side-bars of naked laughing camgirls.

Would you want a picture of your "little cousin" being tickled, even playfully, on a site with that type of context, knowing there are probably some 50 year old men jagging off to it?

My little sisters are 16, and in NO WAY would I find it ok to talk about them here. I mentioned them once in the chatroom in a completely normal conversation and more than one member jumped at the opportunity to ask tickling-related questions.

It is disgusting and while it may not be illegal, it is definitely unethical, and why would you want to promote that sort of thing?

 

[Texas_Tickle]

While TT is fine and good (other than the majority voting to allow under-aged pics), and even though I am reg over at TT, most of my time is spent here on TMF.

 

[Feathery]

I've heard of politicians wanting to raise the age of drinking and smoking to 25. They think porn is illegal anyway, including, probably this site. Ultimately, the goal of these neo-prohibitionists is to outlaw tobacco, alcohol, gambling and porn in an attempt to purify America from the heathen hordes. Just like when religious fanatics helped create the Volstead Act of 1919.

 

[Babbles]

Nothing whatsoever.

This is an adult website. Any underage content of any kind should be removed immediately. Period.

This summed it up nicely.

And now that I read a bit more, I'll comment

Anime that looks childlike is damn disturbing.
Pedophile's dream.
Give it a more mature look or don't post it if it's in a schoolgirl uniform, etc....

Artwork should LOOK 18+ (yes, at the very LEAST).

No blurred lines. Even the vaguest suggestion of (the) misuse/inappropriate depiction/abuse of children/teens under 18 is absolutely unacceptable.

To be depicted in porn, I'd prefer over 21, actually.
If they can go to war at 18 they should be able to buy it,
but I'd be more comfortable knowing anyone in any of these pictures, etc. is a little older at least.

So what's your point? Seeing underage characters in sexual settings is perfectly fine and it's only wrong because politicians say so?

 

[NavelTickler75]

I agree with keeping it off here. I love innocent tickling as it is the best type of fun, and pure. But with this being an adult site putting it here, well makes us look like we're ALL pedophiles which is not the case.

I love anime tickling too, but there is a time and a place for all of that.

Yeah, that may be ok in any normal setting.

But this is a tickling fetish website, complete with banners of naked women being tickled at the top and side-bars of naked laughing camgirls.

Amen sister, I totally agree with what you said. I dislike the nude female pictures and turn my gaze away from them, but then I'm an adult. A pedophile would have no problem with deciding its okay to look at a child getting tickled. And most definately would have no conscience in jacking off to it.

Also I agree with you on the upping the age to drive, drink, gamble, smoke and what not. You are wise beyond your years giggle. Note because of this, you just went on my buddy list ^^.

Many, if not most, so called "mainstream" Americans would tend to find this site morally bankrupt. If all of the characters displayed here where 40 years and older, many would still consider it pornographic and reprehensible. There is, in fact, a growing movement that would move all adult content sites on the internet to an ".xxx" listing instead of .com. And then there are those who would like to ban all adult sites, period. My point here, is that alot of this is relative... what is in good taste and what isn't?

If you don't have an answer as to whether children being featured on adult websites is in good taste or not, that's very unfortunate.

Your moral threshold is children. Another person's moral threshold might be nudity or compromising positions in general. Of course, I'm not advocating underage porn or anything of the like. I would be vehemently against that. But there are those who think this is all bad too. Maybe we should ban it all?
