Also, sitcoms will sometimes use it as a joke. You won't generally hear it yourself, but shows like Friends and How I Met Your Mother have featured it as a "keeping up the roommate/neighbours" subplot (the latter replaced the expected sounds with bagpipes, as per the show's framing device).

Also, Pizza Boy Special Delivery is something of a Dead Horse Trope, and is more often seen in, again, sitcoms, where couples are trying to spice up their love life (usually in incredibly cliched ways, a la Porn Tropes that haven't been used since the '70s/ever).

^^That's just one example, though, for a pretty titillating trope. I just don't see the point of having a trope on this website that details who howls like a dog when they are having intercourse.

And on a different but similar note, my thoughts are similar to Brother-Sister Incest. It can't exactly be wiped clean considering there seems to be enough examples, and it appears enough today to not be completely superfluous, but perhaps an eye should be kept on it or something.

^^ The redlinked page, yes.

Oh my goodness. This is just sad.

v Oh, my bad for misreading. I would say cut them too, just to tie up the loose ends. Compared to other things on the wiki, they don't seem to be that important.

Also, at the Bliss Stage link sometime back: Yeah, "Have sex" or whatever doesn't seem terribly bad, vague as it is. More up to the players there. Then again, I don't know much about it either.

Oh yeah. I'm entirely in favor of nuking Kuso Miso Technique and FATAL from orbit, but I'm just wondering if cutting/nuking such pages means we need to remove all mentions of Memetic Mutation or Shout-Out that originated from them but that don't have the same "porn" content as their source.

Examples being, the Yaranaika dance mix based on Balalaika (which has made it to vocaloid and public performances) or, say, someone mentions FATAL in an offhanded way in the course of a Two Gamers on a Couch comic as the brain-scarring experience they had in their last tabletop gaming group.)

I think that's been answered already. I wouldn't quote me on it but the impression I got was we can mention them, just don't link to the source material?

@BlackDove: I would've proposed cutting FATAL, TBH, but Komodin mentioned the large number of inbound links so I wasn't sure if that would cause even more problems.

I was the one who originally nominated FATAL for review by the council. I don't really care what happens to it to be honest with you all. Cut it, stub it, whatever. But it definitely deserves a review.

Okay, so I have no idea where I should put this. So I'm sorry if it doesn't belong here.

From the Lost Girls page:

The series contains many references to events and culture of the era. Critical reception upon its release was largely positive, though many were concerned about the portrayal of teenagers and very small children engaged in sexual activity. There was also a copyright dispute in the UK over the character of Wendy.

I've never read that comic, but that sentence bothers me.

And then there's this:

* Lolicon: Alan Moore mentioned in an interview that he doesn't know why people got so worked up about the teen sex. He mentions that when he had his first time, he was seventeen... and was embarrassed because he thought he was late in the game. He also pointed out that teen sex is hardly uncommon in Real Life.

So... what should be done with that?

That's not what Lolicon means. It's misuse, and therefore useless to us.

Second, I'm very leery to trust a sentence about a supposed interview without a citation.

Third, it says teen sex, not preteen sex. Teen sex can be 13-20. Preteen would be just....no.

Mind you, I don't know the comic.

I know Martello's weighed in on the topic, but then again, he owns the text himself. Not sure about the others.

[up][up] I don't know the comic either, I just saw an user on SA mentioning it. That's why I posted it in here to get some other opinions on it.

@Pyrite

Hamburger Time brought up Alan Moore's Lost Girls a few pages ago. That's an interesting case I'm willing to talk about, because I actually own the hardcover. I still voted against it, because as much as the work has serious artistic merit and deconstructions of this and that and antiquated sexual mores and so on and whatever...it's still porn. And to top it all off, there's a scene where Wendy is telling a story to her little brothers and the two boys are jerking each other off. Yes, really. I believe they're supposed to be 7 or 8. I in know way believe the scene is meant to be pandering to pedophiles, but it's still just way too much. It's not pedoshit, but it's pedosomething. - Martello

Uh... why do we still have a page on this? If all of this is true, that is.

Because the rest of the 5P hasn't got around to it yet, perhaps? That seems to be the most likely reason. *shrug*

Just putting up these reviews for consideration.And judging from the commentary, it's porn / erotica and contains consensual underaged child-adult sex. While it's supposedly very well-written and well-drawn porn, and is open to critical analysis on a fair number of themes... based on the current guidelines, this shit don't fly.

@kay: As you can see on about the 4th or 5th page of the work queue, ComicBook.Lost Girls is up for review (amongst many, many other works.) If it's something that needs to be cut, it won't hurt things for the page to stay up a little while longer to give all the panel members time to review it properly.

Is the disposition thing supposed to be showing up for me? I was looking through Content Violation Reports, and I saw that I have the option to type something in for Gor because it has three devil heads.

I think it's probably a bug of some sort, as only the 5P really have the authority to give a disposition. I think they're still undecided on just what the hell to do with the page in question.

They were planning on cutting it, but Martello and Meeble found some evidence that a few books and media weren't completely pornograpic. It seems like they're voting on cleaning and locking it at this point.

If you're referring to the box and not the actual status of Gor, FE's already addressed this. Apparently, you won't be able to save anything, despite how it looks. Haven't tried it myself, though.
