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.)
