Looks like things have gotten spicy for this announcement since I looked.
I still don't get the point to the site. After reading all the comments and checking out the site again I understand even less. I don't understand the vague rules regarding how "some" sex/porn is allowed and others is not. Lets take a look at the Zoocadia's rule I'm talking about:
"16. Threads/posts that are deemed overly or solely fetishistic and blatantly vulgar will be removed at moderator discretion. This includes fetishistic posts that derail the intended subject of a thread. This is to curb threads/posts from "pornhounds/fetishizers/leg-humpers" that are not zoos and only see zoophilia/bestiality as a degradation fetish."
The problem I have always had with rules like this is it's far to vague, what I consider a "pornhoud/fetishizer/leg-humper" might not entirely meet with the mods understanding of that rule and I will have no idea of that line until I break the rules and get banned, I can beg for forgiveness but what is the point, I'll just end up making another mistake somewhere down the line and get banned again.
Look, the way that this PSA was put out there was very antagonistic. For example:
1. This quote, "
designed more for real zoos." I took this to mean 'as in anyone not a part of your website isn't a real zoo. That the people over on zoovile just rape their animals and jack off to animals being tortured.'
2. Then there's this quote "
and to better keep out the fetishists, bestialists, kinksters and zoosadists that websites like this unfortunately tend to attract." I took this to mean 'to keep out the
parasites and vermin that we think are harming animals but clearly most of the others don't think so which is why the content is still hear?' Please point to content that is in violation of whatever rules your going by so we can all get an idea of what you mean. Unless your talking about the users that get banned for posting anything against the rules, then what more do you want us to do then ban them?
3. This quote as well, "If you understand the difference between those terms and you fully identify as a zooromantic, zoophile or zoosexual zoophile, come on and join the growing pack!" To me this meant, 'we will force our beliefs down the throats everyone on our new site because we are the
REAL zoophiles.' Your saying I can't love an animal and also have a fetish, it might not even be a fetish for the animal I love. That fetish might also push someone to explore themselves and others, so long as it's consensual, I don't see the problem.
So no personals to even have the chance of meeting anyone else out there, no porn (except when they arbitrarily say so) which means no way to show off your love if you were so inclined, no human on human porn at all (I agree with this one unless a fursuit or animal sex toy is involved. Basically unless you can involve something animal themed.), no pornagraphic images in PFP (Where else can they do this?).
Making broad generalizations about others could be the start of something with less then the purest of intentions. I bring that up because using words like "
REAL ZOOS", "
FETISHISTS", "
BESTIALISTS", "
KINKSTERS", and "
ZOOSADISTS" in the way you used them comes off as painting
EVERYONE else as the villian and yourself as the saviour that will bring us all back to the light. Give me a break! If you want the other website then fine, but don't go painting everyone else as the bad guys for not being the "
REAL ZOOS" if we all don't join.
