What is creepy?

[Walrus]

I'm not saying it's a slippery slope, I'm saying that the goal in mind is completely impossible. You can't remove all the creepy shit from the game, there's too much of it and even without it people could still be creepy.

I agree with the idea that you can't remove everything that could be considered creepy or could be used to be creepy. I didn't raise that point in the first place, so I'm not sure why you keep bringing that up. Remember how you established that, arguing to that non existent person in your first post on the subject?

Like, you're saying it has sexual connotations. Sure. You know what else has sexual connotations? Drugging someone and stripping them naked. That's not gonna get removed from the game and neither are any number of other things, so why remove this one? It's completely pointless.

Even if you can't remove every single thing that is creepy (ex. fundamental game mechanics like: stripping people's clothes, drugging people etc.), if there's something that is creepy, and you can remove it (because it is not a fundamental game mechanic), then why not? Just because you can't get every last source of creepiness doesn't mean that you shouldn't remove sources of creepiness when you have the ability to.

Remember that part where I said to read the thread? I don't think you have, so read the goddamn thread, holy shit. I already went over this nearly exact same point replying to your first post.

the fundamental idea of removing things from the game because they allow weird/creepy behavior is entirely futile simply due to the number of things in this game are both important and long-standing features and also have the potential for unbelievable creepiness.

This is a great response to an argument that nobody made.

Firstly, nobody is advocating to remove Nipple Tweaking because it allows weird/creepy behaviour, Nipple Tweaking is something with sexual connotations that is coded into the game. Because of this, there is no need for a player to twist or manipulate the mechanic into something else for it to be creepy. Nobody's going to start hounding the admins to remove harm intent because sadomasochists exist, so please cut the whole slippery slope thing where everything fun is going to disappear overnight because Nipple Tweaking was removed. Secondly, this feature is neither important nor long-standing, so we can all rest easy knowing that the game is not going to be fundamentally changed because of the removal of Nipple Tweaking.

...in the one in a million chance you didn't read what I just quoted above...

One in a million chance, huh? I should start buying lottery tickets.
