fchan

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.

>>1 oh great that means i actually have to look for it through the tons of pages.

I wonder if this is some new fetish, getting aroused by never being satisfied by anything.

Dude, if incest is your fetish, just take any old thread with your favourite combination and pretend it's all brother/sister or whatever. 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.

"I don't even like incest" but it "doesn't work that way brah"

Okay.

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?

You're completely overlooking that herms have a really fucking obvious and unavoidable VISUAL quality.

Incest is severely lacking in that.

As we are on an IMAGE board here and not on a story board where your complaint would be valid, your whole reason is just plain broken.

XD

lol Read back, interpret sarcasm.

Also, I'm not bitching. I'm discussing. I find these forums to  be quite interesting.

Try asking the mods. They've ALWAYS had the stance of "what we do not see, that isn't".

This PERFECTLY applies here. You cannot see incest, period. At best you can GUESS at it from lines the characters say, but even then it could be roleplay.

*then IT shouldn't be restricted, not you

>>22

not unless you've never heard of em.

>>24
'response TO this rule', my mistake and typo.

oh yes and all the sonic threads? Blaze, Amy and the rest are well under age yet they can thrive yet a little Incest thread is to be damned because it may later contain some cub?

And how many of the ah zoos are "Legal" I mean in many states you can go to jail for having that stuff on you computer. many Aeris and Leo pix are under age but they get to stay.

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.

>>33
No it doesn't. Child porn is an exception to the rule in many cases, and the law generally specifically mentions child porn directly

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.

Thanks.

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.
