It's too bad this isn't really reinforced, except the "don't be racist or sexist" one. There are "oh yah babygirl take that dick" and "mm it makes me so wet to ride dick like that irl ;)" comments abound all over the site... and the latter is usually fucking highly rated by neckbeards.

Both of you who complained about comment quality still failed to produce an example what good commenting looks like in your opinion, even though I've given you the opportunity to do so. Yep. The best way to gear a community toward what you want is to be totally uncommunicative about it and just call people neckbeards until they concede.

Guess you like the status quo but you're being tsundere about it lol.


Literally just about anything other than what you've posted.

B-baka.

That's a really stupid fallacy you've launched there, but I'll bite anyway. What I'd consider good or acceptable comments (not a full or comprehensive list):

1: Commentary about the artist/actress that isn't overt, useless complaining ("[x] has gotten a lot better at drawing")
2: Commentary about the character(s) in regards to their source media ("Wow, looks like [x] was sick of being the punching bag")
3: Translation notes
4: Humorous commentary or memes
5: Initial reactions to seeing odd images or files ("What the hell am I looking at?")

While some of these might not ADD much to a conversation, I don't think comments need to be nazi-modded. I feel like they currently are in some cases and bizarrely left untouched in others. What I'd consider bad comments:

1: Complaining about the content of a post
2: Complaining about another user's comment
3: That stupid "*moans* oh yeah I'd love to feel that ;)" IRL roleplaying type comment that's all over the site which ranges from cringeworthy to creepy

On that note, I see that (gelbooru.com/index.php?page=wiki&s=view&id=207) was changed to remove the that point as it's apparently quite acceptable behavior, and some points were modified to cater to SJW mentality. It's all a rather moot point point, though- I doubt many people come here for the comments, myself included.

If you're referring to the new sexism rule, that was added because the "Be tasteful" rule somehow wasn't blatant enough to make some users stop commenting along the lines of "all women should be treated this way/this is the only thing girls will ever be good for".

It likely won't stop them anyway. ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌


Heres a good example of a nice comment section. gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=4741918

In fact alot of the Godzilla images have good dialogue between users. Do some study ihato.

It wasn't JUST that, but... yeah, I'm not so sure that'll stop them any more than it'll stop trolls from dropping N bombs despite the racism rule.

"This is the only thing girls will ever be good for"
I've seen the same comment geared towards men on femdom images before I disabled comments. I always assumed it was made by fetishists so it never bothered me. I really have to ask though, since it's right there on the page- has there really ever been a comment that said, verbatim: "All women deserve to be raped"? Obviously those comments should be removed, but that seems like a ridiculously over-the-top thing to say, even for the most socially inept keyboard warrior.

Just look at the average comment on as109's pics and you'll have your answer.

I can't quote specific images but I've definitely seen variations of that statement several times.

This is why I said "verbatim" :V

Despite using quotation marks, it doesn't come across as an accurate portrayal of the site's comments, but rather a hamfisted strawman intended to feed the persecution complex that many young western girls base their entire identity around (perhaps making the site more "welcoming" for them and thereby more "diverse"?).

Oh well. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

To OP's credit, I never understood why "cringe" comments bother the mod team. Sure, obviously their site, their rule and all, but I don't think Gelbooru has the moral task of trying to change cringy behaviour into less cringy behaviour. One can disable comments. One can choose to avoid reading comments.

And yes, I do see the point of deleting the top tier racist/sexist comments, but why bother with the so-called "IRL roleplay" and other horndog comments? Worth the energy? I don't think so. Let people be cringe and weeb if they want to. They won't change and start posting actually interesting comments just because the mods go around enforcing some vague sense of weeb normalcy.

I have seen this exact comment posted more than once. One time the word "women" was replaced by "little girls". I would show you had I not deleted them already.
