He wouldn't be arrested walking down the street like that and he doesn't look like he requires medical attention. I think the responses to his photos are over the top. It's one thing to maintain that community norms suggest starting out with a photo like that isn't a good way to get a conversation started. But the "ewww! I don't want to see that!" responses really are a bit much. It's not exactly puritanical, although I can see why the OP perceived it that way. It's almost a fucked up set of aesthetics. As far as I can tell, the bar for "attractive" around here is set pretty low and I've seen plenty of people have pictures that I considered unattractive complimented by others. There's actually quite a few people around here whose avatars I find unsightly but I would never dream of hiding their posts to avoid looking at their faces, heaven forbid actually calling them out on the forum for being ugly. And the request for a "warning" is pretty silly given the sorts of images that are posted as ads around here. I'm actually pretty persnickety about the physical appearance of my men, but I don't consider every image in this place as having been posted with the intent of pleasing me.
I'm not too worried about the OP's feelings here. And I get many of the responses and the impatience with wankery. I just wish people would be careful not to carelessly promote "looking at pictures I don't like" to "having someone's kink forced on me," as if displeasing your aesthetics were some more serious transgression. Unless you are secretly Vladimir Nabokov posting from heaven, in which case, promote on.
But then I'm amused by cock shots, so I suppose I'm more liberal in this regard than most.
It produces a visceral reaction.
You make a good point, though, where does the line between indignation and "righteous indignation" lie. This guy's panache had all the grace of an unseemly SNL skit, and from that POV, I guess I am laughing. Thanks for the levity. I agree with your post.
