• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

    Rule 3 Question (I know, I know…)

    Actually, there's nothing in the rules that even explicitly makes crediting your co-authors a requirement. It just says that plagiarism is forbidden. Whilst I would imagine that the mods would act if someone posted someone else's work without permission, I would also imagine they would only do...

    Rule 3 Question (I know, I know…)

    You could argue that the AI is just assisting you in writing your own story. We wouldn't demand that someone credit their spell-checker, for example.

    New Bug From Sever Move

    Yeah, same, it's not working for me either.

    Rule 8 Announcement

    It's absolutely possible to do studies of suicide rates for trans people who have been allowed to transition vs. those who haven't, and based on level of acceptance. And the conclusion they reach is that the suicide rate goes way down if trans people are accepted rather than being ostracised or...

    Rule 8 Announcement

    That's an entirely separate issue, and there's really no solution to that other than the mods showing good judgement when receiving reports like that.

    Rule 8 Announcement

    There's always the option of not using pronouns at all. No-one is being compelled to use specific pronouns, just to avoid intentionally using the wrong ones. And, frankly, being autistic on a forum invariably requires you to "lie" about things, or at minimum hide your beliefs. I've got in...

    Rule 8 Announcement

    No, it's not "false equivocation". There's no inherent difference between misgendering a cis person and misgendering a trans person. The only difference might be your motivation for doing so, but that's extremely difficult to judge and way too open to abuse. Plus, there might be a reason why...

    Rule 8 Announcement

    Have you ever seen anyone say that who is not very obviously doing it as an attack on trans people? Would you consider it to be acceptable to deliberately refer to a cis girl as "he" after being informed otherwise? If not, then I don't see how you think it's OK to do it to trans people...

    Rule 8 Announcement

    Accidentally misusing someone's pronouns on a forum is not an issue. It happens all the time. Not only to trans people, either, since it's not like you can necessarily tell someone's gender from their username or avatar. It's just something you have to live with on a forum where people are...

    Rule 8 Announcement

    Regardless of what you call it, you're being deliberately offensive towards someone to prove a point. So, yes, it's absolutely, 100% a Rule 1 violation.

    Rule 8 Announcement

    Unless someone openly states that they're trans or transitions whilst on the forum and asks people to use different pronouns, how would anyone even know that they're trans in the first place? That's the benefit of anonymous/pseduonymous posting, no-one has any information on your gender beyond...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Everything is inherently political if you look at it broadly enough. But, yes, you could make a case that discussions of religion should fall under rule 8. However, it's another matter entirely to forbid people from using characters that exist in-universe just because those characters could...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    In a legal sense, yes, it certainly is. Whether religion influences politics in the US is another matter, though.... What we meant by that is that you're basically just complaining about the rules not being what you want them to be and the manner in which you were informed about it. You did...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Yeah, this seems like a rant, mostly. They asked for clarification on the rules surrounding this, but I'm pretty sure the rule is "there isn't a rule", so....

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Based on previous comments and the general context of this dispute, I think he's from India. I don't think India has an official religion, but I don't think it has anything as stringent as the US First Amendment (most countries don't, honestly).

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Sure, but this isn't a fic about religion, it's a fic about a fictional character who happens to be based on a character from someone's religion. Then what did you report it for? Sure, but it's sure as hell not a forum for upholding the beliefs of religious people.

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    Politics is banned because politics caused a bunch of arguments and isn't really fundamental to anything this site does. And the point of saying "it's fiction" is that it's not an attack on a real person, thus it doesn't fall foul of rule 1. When you're on a board about said "nerd's 2D...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    I don't care if they're your religious views or not, my point still stands. You're trying to force me to follow other people's religious beliefs. And Hindu nationalists in general are certainly not respectful to people of other religions, or to atheists, yet I rarely see people calling for...

    Serious concerns about depictions of Actively Worshiped Religious figures in NSFW situations.

    No, I'm ignoring it because they're your religious beliefs, not mine. I don't particularly like people treating me like I deserve eternal torture for the heinous crime of thinking for myself, but I don't get to tell them not to do it. I don't see why I should show their beliefs the kind of...
