The administrators have asked me to make a post to clarify something.
Images depicting incest are welcome on Fchan providing the following guidelines are met: 1) The image is posted in one of the main boards (/f, /h, /m, /s) 2) The image is posted in a thread to which it is relevant. 3) The image contains no characters that could be viewed as underage (This is at administrative/Moderator discretion). We feel this is the best way to address all concerns that have arisen over this matter. Although incest may be viewed as a fetish, the qualities of it in an image aren't tangible enough to warrant making /a their home. (notwithstanding the depictions of underage characters, which are not welcome here) Finally, any incest-specific threads will most likely be deleted, as they have a track record for generating the posting of cub material. This doesn't mean depictions of incest aren't allowed, we're just asking it not be the focus of a thread. For example, a picture of wolven sisters is a welcome addition to a wolf thread in /f.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

Yeah. So in other words incest IS banned because unless someone specifically mentions it's an incest picture there is no way people are going to know.

It won't make any difference no matter whether you claim to yourself that some fictional characters are related by blood or whether some artist says some fictional characters are related by blood.

Examples include Skunkwork sisters, "family" comics, and similar.

Oftentimes the appeal in incest is very specific. It may be the taboo familial relationship (obviously) and it may be the draw of genetic familiarity. The concept of just pretending they're all related is like watching straight porn and pretending they all actually have penises because you like gay porn. The idea is that you induce situational euphoria from explicit relations between intended figures. This is similar to those (like myself) who gain intense satisfaction from seeing familiar figures from my youth exploited sexually in these forums, like in the Sonic threads which run rampant over the internet like weeds. The appeal is in the specific and in the intent and in the revel of actually indulging your taboo kinks. Neutralizing specific threads dedicated to 'incest' by saying they need to be submerged into other things and can't be standalone effectively makes it difficult to look for that specific angle in your browsing. Think of how much fun it would be if you did the same thing to Herm?

And context is not important on image boards? It's all about context. In tiered layers. "Furry" probably being the top and branching out from there. The fact that "Incest" is a branch that has a mental appeal rather than a direct visual stimulus doesn't make it any less of a contextual thing than Anal, Vore, or, lemme think, choking furs. I guess I could pretend they're all choking....

As opposed to the consistent reposting of bitching threads and the torrent of people crying foul over the deletion of incest threads last time?
Odds are, you're one of the only people who's making this into too big a deal. By your logic of "pretending they're all choking" you can also pretend they're all related. Simple enough, sexual stimulation from an image stems from the imagination in some form anyway.

The context of an image -is- important. (Think of all those "anal" pictures where you never actually -see- which hole the cock is in) Therefore, context is very important to the incest fetish. Banning incest is not the goal of The Powers That Be in this case, but is unfortunately a side-effect of incest threads. However, as was explained, it is intended to be a solution to child/cub, which -is- intended to be banned. Consider the incest fetish as collateral damage in the witch-hunt for underaged characters.
Now either propose an alternative method of extracting cub from incest threads, accept that it is the best solution, or have a go at getting cub back altogether. Also, I have no idea why I ended up ranting about this. The discussions here are always pretty civil.

The legal issue is comprehensible. The most sensible response is active moderation. People going "Oh this image is unsuitable for a legally operating Fchan. It appears to convey clearly underaged individuals for the sexual gratification of those who find appeal in children." and flag it for a mod to deal with.
Cub porn doesn't need to hang out at Incest's house, but that's where it keeps its stash.

Hello Kamper,
Before getting all outraged, please read the posts regarding /toon in /faq. To summarize, a character's storyline age is rarely taken into consideration when deciding if an image depicts a character as underage. All the Sonic characters are three apples high. If one looks more childlike than the others and stands 1/2 that size, you probably have a case.
Also see Quantum's suggestion in #28. If you think something looks underage, report it.
Lastly, I do not believe there are any laws concerning drawn depictions of 'zoo'; however, if you know otherwise please enlighten us.

31= A precedent has recently been set in Canadian common law that lets the crown treat underage manga as child porn; by logical extension this also applies to illustrated bestiality. Regardless of the implications of posession, the law against importation bans even bestialist ideas; this encompasses written and illustrated works.
Americans should also note that to the best of my knowledge there are anti-bestiality laws in over 20 states.

My intention wasn't to open a discussion regarding the law, it was to ask people to take the time to read through /faq before making any assumptions. The threads there pertain directly to the rules of the site and the laws to which we try our best to abide.
Having said that, the warning at the top of this board still applies. Let's not discuss the legal status of cub here. If you have some well-researched knowledge of a specific statute, please send an email to one of the moderators or stop by the IRC channel (the link is on the home page near the bottom left). There is almost always somebody on who can address your concerns.

Mainly because there isn't anything left to discuss that hasn't already been discussed. Cub has been banned for a long while now. If you list all threads, you'll find the one that climbed to 380+ posts before it was stopped (it's there, among several other threads on the topic).
Why do we ask that people not discuss this policy? If we didn't, there would be an endless regurgitation of the same conjectures, assumptions, accusations, etc. etc. etc.
There is a post in /faq titled Final Word on Cub Images. It is the end-all reference to the reasons behind the rule and is factual, accurate, and as the title implies the final word on cub images.

So -the fuck- what? Is it just so horrible for a thread to be repeated that it needs to be set into rules that it can't be asked about again? Do you really need to cause MORE drama by demanding that people not discuss a topic? You don't see the pattern? You make a rule, people bitch about it. If you make a rule telling them not to bitch about that topic, they'll bitch about THAT rule.

The thread is still there. It's accessible to anyone who wants to read it. Several topics in /faq speak directly to the issue as well.
We have very few rules here, and most visitors don't have an issue abiding by them. Nobody said the topic wasn't open for discussion, we only asked that it not be discussed further here. It was the best way to separate those who bitch for the sake of bitching and those with legitimate arguments. The latter will gladly write an email or visit the IRC channel.

Point number 1: Falcon's answer told which avenues where proper to argue (and not just argue in general, but to argue on the cub topic specifically), I was responding to Nadia telling me to "grow up", as though my having tried to argue in the first place was childish.
Point number 2: I don't know what the fuck your point is here. Last I checked, "get over it" was not a rule, and even if it was, it's not something that they really have jurisdiction over.
Point number 3: I understand the alternatives. I have not continued to contribute anything to the cub/incest topic, which is what they're asking us not to argue about on the discussion board. As a matter of fact, I never actually contributed to that topic at all.
Keep in mind, they said not to discuss that particular topic. I only first asked why they would ask us not to discuss it any more, and then dropped THAT topic right after Falcon responded. Then Nadia came in flashing the badge, and I then argued with THAT.
Point 4: I know it's a form of courtesy, I wasn't seriously arguing with that. I was being a smart ass.

Let's a huddle around the fireplace for a moment of candid honesty with the resident raptor, shall we? Maybe grab some cocoa, a little Bailey's...
I might come across as eloquent but trust me, it's not always easy. The deleted post before mine was written by me and wasn't so well thought-out. The line 'Do you really need to cause more drama...' is hard to read without feeling as though it were an accusation.
It's a rare occasion when Nadia posts these days, but her word is the one that carries the most weight. She might not have established Fchan, but she established the Fchan we know today.
I try my best to communicate with people and answer their questions. Sometimes it feels I do more harm than good by doing it. Every poster is an individual: some have legitimate queries, others try to goad us into arguing because they like the sound of their own voice. It takes a lot of experience and a good sense of politics to be an effective moderator. I've been trying to learn on the fly, so please bare with me.
There are only a few more points I'd like to make. The discussion of cub is banned. Period. There has been enough drama over this one subject to meet the quota for the next decade. Nobody complains to the city because they can't smoke in restaurants anymore. Nobody complains to YouTube because they can't post hardcore porn on the site. It's simple accepted as the way it is. This is the way it is here.
As for calling those who are equally tired of seeing this thread stay way off-topic 'brown-nosers', keep this in mind. It's kind of hard to gain anyone's favour by making an unsigned post.
Now let's all take a deep breath, think before we write (I know.. but I deleted it) and try to get along. This is one of the few places where a person can say 'sexy dragon cock' and not draw a bunch of disgusted, confused stares. I like to think of this place as a community. The less quarreling amongst ourselves, the better it is for everyone.
Once again, thank you if you took the time to read this. This place might make a bird want to pull his feathers out at times, but I wouldn't give it up for anything.
