Rule #X: NSFW art, photos, and video will be allowed on all communities if it’s funny

Admins discussed the definition of the word funny and then the definition of NSFW. Depictions of nude clowns were considered - admins vetoed amendment which included provisions for NSFW art, etc, of people who are funny, but the NSFW content being depicted is not. Vote is still split.

Readers who are following the results of this ballot would be advised to wait until the ceremonial vape cloud rises from the basement window of the shittiest apartment building in Virginia. This sacred and beautiful ritual means that voting has concluded and updates are sure to follow.

      The admins determined NSFW was defined by if your boss would fire you if they saw the media on your desktop. I’m assuming that you are your own boss in this scenario. How would you feel if you walked in on yourself drawing said porn? Would you find the situation funny in any way?

      I could also see the admins determining that your customers are your boss in this scenario, which would open another line of debate - would your customers fire you if they walked by your desk as you were drawing the porn that they commissioned from you?

      You may want to hire a lawyer familiar with hexbear rules and past struggle seshes to help you navigate the system.

        How would you feel if you walked in on yourself drawing said porn? Would you find the situation funny in any way?

        I’d probably have an existential crisis if I saw myself like that. I don’t think I could handle it, I’d think my psyche had finally broke and I’d probably get myself committed.

        But I don’t know the rules on psych wards and porn so I don’t know if that means it would be ok on hexbear or not after that.
