The Fight for the Padded Room (NSFW)

[Dexter Rutecki]

Well, you guys have made your point loud and clear. This place is a sausage fest. There are more porn shots and porn threads here than women skiers.

Many of you clearly love porn, and it’s why you come here. You’ll even visciously attack someone who questions the necessity of porn shots here. Who knew TGR was a porn site? I guess the men who come here do.

Apparently, crotch shots, bondage, and upskirts are “art” and appreciation of the human form. The idea that this is art is ludicrous. The Louvre won’t be calling to host an exhibition any time soon. The stuff here is just lowbrow porn.

Not going to pretend I don't understand the sentiment, but I am kind of clinging to the notion that it is a vocal minority so exercised about their porn, and then another segment that sees this as some sign of impending heavy moderation and Epic-skiing of the board. My position remains that since TGR decided this place should be moderated they can't just wash their hands of it and need to do something.

I think there have a been a number of people pretty clearly stating that they could do without the porn, don't care about or don't like it, and/or think we'd be better off without it (which is what I have said).

I also haven't heard anyone trying to claim the porn here is art, but I may have missed that (obviously there has been important art described as pornography by detractors, but that's probably not too relevant).

MG aside (vicious attacks are par for the course here--porn or not, male or female, spook or intelligent life form), I have to admit I have been surprised by some of what has (apparently sincerely) been posted here in the threads addressing this recently. Doesn't reflect too well on the 'community,' and while I'd hope that whatever women are here stick around I am starting to feel that that might be too much to ask.

Good lord yourself. She is on a timeout, that's what has happened so far. Why don't you relax with the histrionics already?

Wait till she gets Gloria Allred on the case.

Couldn't even spell her name right??

there is virtually nothing about this post that is accurate.

Reading and thinking aren't really his forte. Posting 8000 times without once being smart, interesting, or funny on the other hand...

[concretejungle]

How many pages back do I need to go to get the gist?

jeezus fuck

Hey Natty! How you doin'?

Fuck these bitches!!!

I only see one bitches there.

Pretty it's her (with the gun) referring to us.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

How many of you are willing to show the full constellation of threads (and images) in question to your spouse, So...

I've shown my gf the threads and explained the kurfuffel to her. She thinks you guys are a bunch of over sensitive prudes and morality police

Not my scene, but I'm sure you guys are the same people that would refuse to go into a strip club for your buddies bachelor party, Maybe even cry a little about it.

Everyone that signed up for TGR knew exactly what they were getting into, if you don't like the overall corse nature of it there are other sites for you

Ooooooooooooh I thought he meant "fuck the people against posting pics like this - I'm going to post one" and that there was going to be coitus involved with multiple bitches.

It's all so confusing....

[Mazderati]

anyway, for the record, if we go bewb-free I'd be fine with it.

If it never snows again I'll just ride my bike and surf....and go bowling with my busty and understanding wife.

Ullr, we're so sorry. Too much hate in the world and too much co2.

Love to the brothers and sisters here.

If it blows up and we all scatter, all of you who kept saying I should write a book or whatever....I DID IT ALL FOR YOU, BECAUSE THIS IS OUR OWN SKI MAGAZINE. It's Freeze, and Powder, and bombsnow all at once. We had Gunder, and Seo, and Barker taking photos, we have Keane and Kerig writing here....I just wanted to be part of it all.

Anybody who doesn't feel blessed to be part of this can fuck right off to somewhere better. Y'all are better than these last few days. We're almost to real ski season, hold it together for fuck's sake people. It's all love, even the tough love. It's all love.

We're HEDONISTS


not gun-arguing, revenge-porning, politician debating fucknuts

One of us might die this winter, the forum may explode, fukushima may implode and fry us all in our own bellyfat.
Let's all take a break and count our blessings.

Agreed on confusing. But you get points for imagination (and maybe your interpretation was accurate). I do think he was trying to caption her, though.

Anyway, if they're armed I think proof of consent isn't necessary.

edit: god, Slapshot is a good movie. It's like the Blizzard of Ahhhh's of hockey.

Dex is right, the lady with the pretty dress is saying "Fuck these bitches!!", referring to mostly the butthurt losers around the PR.

[wyeaster]

It's not your only mistake. You and others seem to think there is management that has their fingers on the pulse of the forum, and when MAJOR ISSUES are raised by the inmates, that management jumps to it and discusses it and if they haven't acted within 48 hours, well by god that is their answer! Fuck, my clients don't expect an answer to complicated questions* (or any questions) on that kind of timeline yet you, some guy who posts on a forum for free, thinks you're entitled to a response lickety split.

* and if you don't think this (or Damian) is a complicated question you're not paying attention.

that's not even close to what i think. i don't give a shit what tgr does. i've been aware of the limits of this place since i got here and i'm still here. my view of certain aspects of "the collective" are not likely to change. i am very aware that it is complicated and i'm not holding the moderators responsible for the company or whatever culture has developed over years and places. honestly, since advres left (trying to remember if that was before or after splat v. jer: the fuckoning) the moderators have been great at a thankless job. i agree with self-moderation or at least the lack of a heavy hand. tgr and everybody here can do what they want but nobody should pretend about what they're doing -- defining part of this community in no uncertain terms. management may not jump, but somebody was rather efficient deciding to employ a timeout. in my opinion, that's taking another step in the wrong direction.

In a nutshell: consent should be obtained prior to posting nude pictures and proof of consent needs to be posted along side the picture (though what constituted proof was not agreed upon as there was concern about photo shopping). Then there was a lot of other stuff about porn, objectifying, rape and the need for moderation of the forum.

In between we had a few laughs and I tried to interject that if people weren't so uptight about nudity maybe we'd be better off which really has nothing to do with non-consensual naked picture posting.

I started on this page, but am assuming it is related to this mtngirl poster who keeps complaining about people posting real pics in the Plea to Ullr thread. I am guessing she feels emboldened by the recent uptick in sexual assault and sexual predatory claims we are seeing in the media.

I'm going to empathize with mtngirl based on the suspicions that she has probably been a victim herself. I blame the other butthurt posters here who are getting all worked up about one poster.

mtngilrl = troll of the week

[splat]

Wow. This thread has legs.....leave for the afternoon and 8 more pages have blossomed.
Marilyn said if it wasn't for porn, she'd prolly still be alive, as no one would have known about her.
So, yes, porn kills.

[PNWbrit]

This isn't world ending or rocket science.

TGR just need to decide if they want to allow porn to be associated with their brand.

If they don't and you can't deal with it then fuck off. It'd be a good filtering process IMO.

Personally I don't have a problem with it either way. But tend to think it'd be better to not allow it.

It is exactly how most of them want it. Others don't care. And then there are those who wont risk their cool TGR schtick by actually saying what they might think in Mtngirls favor without it being disguised as a pithy put down, usually aimed at MtnGirl. And then, amazingly, there are some who virtually repeat what Mtngirl said, and then get lauded with kudos for speaking sense??

So many miss the point: they think that the objectors here are prudes and offended, "so don't click on the link" is their advice. Wrong. Porn or nakedness in any consensual form is not offensive, however it pays virtually no role in a ski forum. What is offensive is the frat boy women-hate that seems to gently simmer below this whole topic. One thing TGR has done well, is provide a platform for those guys in the shape of an unmoderated skiing forum. Pity the otherwise worthy unmoderated experiment took that path.

If Mtngirl got a time-out for speaking her mind relentlessly, I sure hope some of the borderline violent women-hate speech from man-boys here also earned them a time out. Calling a women a cunt, telling her to fuck off etc isn't the problem so much. It is equally disrespectful aimed at anyone. Around here, it is how people talk to each other. What is the problem, is the context of the message and words: man+power+freedom > woman+opinion+freedom. In the context of that imbalance, the aggressive words take on a much more sinister meaning. Ultimately, it is another small stitch in a culture that degrades every exceptional female I respect and admire. And another stitch in keeping 50% of the population down.

Mtngirl took a stand. She is a flawed human like most of us, but a fighter. I like that.

[digitaldeath]

Kudos to mtngirl. TGR history will remember you. Good or bad. You bamboozled the whole place.
