Gender stereotypes and Why I dont get some of them
I was talking on the Amazing atheist Porn to be banned in the UK and I type a paragraph agreeing with the policitian and someone and a couple of other said "Are you a Woman or something" this wasnt the first time to happen when I was on gamspot with DD making account for me a made a thread about how porn is bad and some one said I was a 14 year old girl?
I....I dont get it why do I have to like porn just because im male it dosent make any sense?

You don't have to like porn. The problem is you clearly can't accept that it exists and your constant need to spew all over the place how bad it is, just like a troll. You can't just ban porn. Do you go around and tell people that porn should be banned just because you think it looks gross? That's something a 14-year old girl would say.
What Quiztis said. I, and I'd assume the majority of people, 100% agree with you about not having to like porn. But it's the way you bring this opinion (and most of your opinions) out that is equal to that of a 14-year-old girl's.
Not to say that all 14-year-old girls act the same, but you get the point.

I think you'd really like this Ted Talk called, Why I Stopped Watching Porn, pred. It's actually a really good talk.
Well how do you suggest about the way I bring my opinion?
Well, I would suggest not bringing it up anymore, seeing as we all already know you dislike it. I would like to state the irony in that you bring porn up more times than anyone else here.
Well the reason why I ask it because I dont get why people think im female just becasue I dont like it.
At this point, Pun, they're making fun of you. When a topic is brought up repeatedly, especially when it's been decided by the majority that that topic is not welcome, any and all topics regarding that made by the person pretty much become free game for ridicule. This is basically covered by Rules 6 and 7. Though, with the case of 7, you're constantly talking about it despite your deep seated hatred of it. (I will post the mentioned rules at the end of this.)
6) Posting off-topic or general discussion threads that go unanswered or are met with tepid or negative responses usually means the community is either uninterested or annoyed. Don't take it personally, this may just not be the community for you (it happens). This does *not* apply to asking questions on d-mod making in the development threads or troubleshooting questions. The staff and community really does our best to try and answer these. If it's about Dink or d-mods, don't worry about it.
7) Links to porn or "software of highly questionable legal status" (ie warez) in any of the forums is prohibited. Same goes for flaming (personal attacks) that are deemed excessive or in bad taste by one of the staff. Don't do that crap. Links to sites that host malware or viruses or anything blatantly illegal will result in muting and/or outright banning.
Now, the reasoning behind some of the... er... retaliatory commentary given by our fellow forum dwellers most likely stems from an unwillingness to discuss the topic, due to not only its prohibited nature (See 7.), but the overall negative tone not only towards pornography itself, but people who partake of the porn.
In joking around, they at first attempted to state, without outright stating it, that that kind of discussion is not welcome in, what is ubiquitously, an internet forum centered around a video game that, in and of itself, takes a 'nothing is sacred' outcome in terms of gameplay and storyline.
Arguably, it is entirely possible that the trend of making fun of you when you post topics regarding this continues out of a need to create, in some small way, a sense of levity in what is already an extremely awkward and unwanted topic.
(Note: Though Rule 7 does state links and flaming, I interpret the rule to include constant discussion. For the whole list of rules, visit here.)

At this point? let me tell you something the people that I was talking to I had no previous confrontations with them in the first place.

Now why do people assumed ALL MEN watch porn?
Answer me this PLEASE.

Why did you even quote KrisKnox when your answers had NOTHING to do with them? You are nothing but a troll to me.
But you are the cutest and most gullible troll ever! The DN won't be the same without you.

Nobody assumes that. If you paid any attention to the replies in this thread, you'd realize that. The reason you were called a 14-year-old girl is not because 14-year-old girls aren't assumed to watch porn, but most likely because your ridiculous way of bringing your opinions out is considered equally annoying to that how a 14-year-old girl is often thought to act.

No some people assumed im female regardless of any age just because I dont like porn.
Why is it?
It doesn't make any sense, does it? There is only one possible answer...
You must actually be female.
You must actually be female.
Okay, let's break it down for you.
Most fourteen year old females react in a whiny, over-dramatic way, sometimes shouting insults.
When you post your rants about whatever, it is a whiny, over-dramatic post, usually with insults in all caps.
If you look at the parallels, you can see that both are whiny, over-dramatic, and with insults added in.
This is, of course, coming from a few years of admin experience on both a Therian-centered website (often, the 14YO girls were much worse and were often quickly banned) and on a Minecraft Server, where griefing and stealing was common enough that banning was fairly commonplace. (Seriously. You do not know agony until you have to decipher heavily misspelled l33tsp33k to determine if their arguments are breaking the rules.)

IM NOT TALKING ABOUT ONLY 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS IM TALKING ABOUT BEING ASSUMED A FEMALE IN GENERAL WHICH INCLUDES ALL AGES WHICH YOU HAVENT ANSWERED.
No Scratcher im not female.
No Scratcher im not female.
Oh just forget about it then
Staff you may close it now.

People are idiots.
Apparently some guys believe all women are spoilsports that are out there to take away all their secret pleasures. And there are probably a handful of other stereotypes about women that sound perfectly reasonable in their heads. And then they wonder why only a small percentage of people on messageboards are of 'the opposite sex'.

People will accuse anyone of being anything on the internet. I mean, back when I started, the common joke was that there were no girls on the Internet, just guys pretending to be them.

Maybe your right alot of people are idiots when it come to these things.

Let's just agree everyone's poking fun at you for constantly rambling on about it and move it.
Ok. I think you are partly right, there is definitely pornography that is morally wrong. I believe the almost unregulated accessibility of this morally questionable and sometimes illegal material is problem, and there is a discussion to be had here. The internet, smartphones and digital cameras have drastically changed the landscape that the current laws were written for and there is no good way of controlling the material.
Related to porn online, the worst cases is where nude pictures and videos that have been sent in private are uploaded online or threatened to be. With widespread use of smartphones and internet it's ruining lives and even taking them. link1 link2 link3.
It is obvious that something has to be done about this but there is no good solution yet.
That being said, game forums is not the place to hold this discussion. Try writing a letters to local newspapers and politicians, maybe you can start a dialog on the subject?

@Iplaydink, it may not be a wise idea to suggest Pred to write to politicians and the like, if he is this ba...horr....anno....Unique, he may write something that may bring a bad thing like that "dun goofed" meme, if it does happen it might trace to us, I don't want to leave my precious cookies behind for cops/investigators.
Bahorranno? Sounds worse than diarrhea.
