[quote=@LegendBegins] Analogies exist in order to make concepts simple and easy to understand, and the Dev journal does not exist to be hostile to other RPG members. My entire point from those words is that the simple fact that something is an established genre does not mean it needs to be encouraged or given easy access to for minors. It also has the potential to hurt the reputation of the Guild, all of which I outlined at the top of this page. A rule of thumb is that if a line cannot be drawn so you can point out a clear difference between what should and should not be done, the movement that requires that line should not be made in the first place. [/quote] Except that what Ellri and co are proposing is not to explicitly bring easy access smut to minors, it's to give the people that wish to participate in such things tools that would make the process smoother. Will some of these people be minors? Possibly. I'd wager it's a very, very small percentage of users though. It's impossible to tell real age on these forums anyway. I could be six for all you know. And the reputation of the Guild as perceived by moralizing, busybody soccermoms(AKA the only people that would care about smut being on the guild via PMs) is on nobody's mind. Not even Mahz's. Why? Because they don't matter, and are not the kind of people the Guild was made for. It was made for people that like to write stories. Are some of these stories a tad raunchy? Yeah. So? They're still just stories, floating amidst the vast ocean of other stories on the Guild, smut or otherwise.
