Offensive images in the frontpage.

User is offline   Gambini 

#1

Was thinking about how to face this worry. But could not find a better way than just saying it as is.

Today is the second time that an offensive image is posted in the FRONTPAGE. I don´t care about them -Christ! you should know the kind of things i watch when am alone!- and I am aware of what is all about the new shitty DNF, which i wont buy. But i come to this site to check the modding forums and would not like to set my browser to skip the frontpage just because the administrator can´t have a little of criteria when posting images. This, makes sense when you know that i browse forums and stuff usually with my kids around, or next to me watching what I do. So what happened today when my four years old boy asked what was that girl doing is the kind of situation I would like to avoid until they turn 13 or 14. I wish you could add a "spoiler" warning or something when sexually explicit images are going to be posted. It wont hurt anyone.

In the meantime, just type forums.duke4.net instead of duke4.net.

Also, "shitty DNF"? Teh fuck are you on about?

Shitty, yes. Everything i have seen after that ten years old trailer is worthless bullshit in my eyes. But do not derail this thread, i´d like to know if this has a solution.


edit: last line removed, it was a bad idea considering i´m complaining about offensive stuff. So I should stay polite.

I agree with Gambini. I browse to the front page not always at home in my room and I am a little self conscious. It isn't a big deal, it is just that there is no warning or age check (which doesn't work, but it covers your ass).

I like the old trailer too, but at this point I'd just like to see the game released, and this looks better than a lot of the third party games, which were good in their own right. I'm happy just to see something new.

Holy Shit guys, this is Duke. Strippers, Cash, Cola, Cigars, Pig Cops etc. And the latest image is a well made model, like in pixels, nurbs, poly, not real! If this image gets anyone in trouble, wow, erotic is found in caves like 10k years old, in churches and now on duke4.net . Considering humans are sexual beings I fail to understand the temperance sentiment. Posted Image

Well said, Hank.

I appreciate your concern Gambini, but Duke4.net is really not a politically correct site. I'm sorry your 4 year old was exposed to an artist's rendition of bare breasts, but it's not anything more than you see in commercials on broadcast television in many parts of Europe. I personally think the widespread obsession with shielding our children from each and every questionable thing to appease our own desires to not have to endure an awkward situation and explain how things work in the adult world is a bit wrong. In this case, they're just body parts--it's not like some girl was being bent over and fucked or anything.

Just my two cents. Maybe I'll feel differently when my son is old enough to ask awkward questions, maybe not. :dukegoof:

She was standing. Half-naked.

What's the big deal? The pic isn't porn. So I don't think anyone should complain given the mature rating of DNF. It's fucking tits, not cunt. And there was no sex involved.

Hell. She´s not breast-feeding a child. It´s not like "just a part of the body". I admit being unable to explain what it was to my kid and just derailed the conversation. But the problem is not with explanations, the problem is with not appropiate media being shown in the front page of a site that -until now- wasn´t for adults only. Just keep the frontpage clean so people can sort out what they want to see and what not.

Hi Gambini,

Thanks for your feedback and I'll take that into account for the future. My perspective is the same as Hank and TX but I know where you're coming from.

I can be out of control sometimes. :dukegoof:

And now, for some that hopefully the OP will find more appropriate... troll porn!

That's unacceptable. Come back tomorrow when you've woken up on the right side of the bed (and when your account can make posts again).

Trust me, you will feel different (at least I hope so)
So in a way I can see where Gambini is coming from and TX, maybe just put some stars or some thing over it next time. :D

Or Gambini can invest in some sort of porn/image filtering addon.

I wont. Duke Nukem wasn´t that much about porn and taking shit with the hands until Gearbox came into the scene. The Duke Nukem game I play (and the only reason of my presence in Duke forums) has a few 100 pixel tall dancer sprites that can not be labeled as sexual content.

There is a point where "pushing the envelope" is just pushing because the envelope is gone.

Besides, even the official DNF site has the "please verify your age (even though we know you will lie about this anyway)" page and then they maybe show tits. Let it be known, I have nothing against tits. I love tits. I had a lengthy argument with a fella defending tits. But tits on my computer screen while I'm at a public computer is not something I enjoy.

Sorry, err... what?
Are you sure you played Duke 3D? Wasn't Super Mario or, I don't know... maybe Barbie?

PS: The image in the front page could be censored, yep, but you are talking too much bullshit here...

What´s being shown about DNF is a thousand times more obscene than what it was like in Duke3d times. Same case with the 2001 trailer, that image you posted is the only "dirty" thing in the trailer.

So outdated low resolution graphics means it can't be sexual content? Oh, that's a relief.

Right, a failed to understand your post... sure.
So you think Gearbox was making pure porn content instead of polishing the grafics and it wasn't executed or planned by 3D realms in the development... uhum.
And a woman with tits exposed and only wearing panties is only present in Duke Forever... oh, wait, what were the first and last images I posted? A woman with pans and topless? Oh, right.
Of course these images would be much more agressive if Duke3D were made ​​today with the newest graphic engines avaible. Duke3D wasn't considered that obscene back in 1996?

Duke 3D was offensive because you could kill the strippers and prostitute....it was also side/under boob and tassels. No nipples.

You boys are just picking a fight now. Gambini has a point and he is taking responsibility for his children; leave him alone and go lie about being 18 on a porn site.

He had a point until he started claiming DN3D is non-sexual in order to hide the hypocrisy.

True. Thanks for your support Mr.Flibble. Sometimes i forget i´m discussing with teenagers. This discussion is getting old, the line between what is unsuitable and what is not is so thin that we could keep this argument forever. In my home a duke nukem 3d sprite of a stripper shaking her boobs is just a pixelated cartoony thing in which my kids do not even fix their gaze. A dildo, an almost real (still ugly) girl in topless, two sisters practicing lesbianism, and all kind of sorts is something obscene I avoid my kids to watch. My goal with this thread has been succesfully meet, Yatta said he´ll bear this in mind for next updates. So I will stop tracking this topic..... now

And as usual, being someone who gets offended by everything pays off.

Since Gambini is gone from this thread, I might as well warn everyone else who comes to these forums, if you're offended by sex and pixelated strippers aren't porn to you then fine, but don't ever play through all of DN3D... with the sound turned on.

My main gripe is his "knowledge" that Gearbox is somehow responsible for over the top adult content. It's 3dRealms' game. GBX is just polishing, porting and adding mp. If you want to blame game creators - blame 3dr.

You're saying like you're way older than 18, mr. "grown-up".

I lose track of time..but I think 5 years is "way older" than 18. I am a completely different person than I was when I was 18. A lot of growing up happens after you stop pretending to be an adult and become one.

Anyone who says Duke3D was non-sexual is just lying through their teeth though. Or they're too young to realize there was a time when graphics were so simple that gamers had to use their imaginations to fill in the space between the pixels.

Ugh, putting your age in the number of years since you've been 18 reminds me of just how old I am now. I started with this Duke Nukem shit when I was 11 and now I'm 26 and have gray hair. :dukegoof:
