I WAS TOLD NOT TO POST ABOUT POKÉPHILIA ON THIS FORUM OR LOVE BETWEEN HUMANS AND POKÉMON UNLESS IT IS SOMETHING SIMPLE AS A REPLY ON WHY I LIKE A CERTAIN POKÉMON!!!!! WHY ARE YOU LETTING THIS PERSON POST ABOUT POKÉPHILIA THEM???!!! IT'S BEEN THERE AWHILE AND ALL MINE GET LOCKED AND/OR DELETED!!! I DEMAND BEING ABLE TO POST ABOUT IT AGAIN BECAUSE APPARENTLY YOU GUYS THINK IT'S OK FOR OTHERS TO POST ABOUT IT BUT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can answer you, Justin.
Mentioning pokephilia is rather harmless. You do it a lot, and staff have somewhat reached a consensus that it is tolerable. I say somewhat, because everyone has their own opinion, as always :) Talking about love is a nice thing.
What is not okay is when someone
describes sexual activities or scenes, or mentions it in ways that make other members feel bothered. Pokécommunity should be a nice place for everyone, and pokephilia is not PG-13 okay - just like unwarranted talk about ANY explicit stuff is not okay! If someone is doing something that disturbs others (most often noticed by it being reported), staff will decide whether or not it's worth doing something about.
It is clear that you are not going to stop mentioning your love for pokémon. Sure. It's your choice, your life. You
should be prepared then that people might judge you if they don't agree, because that is how the world works.
But we will
not tolerate people posting in ways that make others feel uncomfortable. That's not good for the community, or for the poster for that matter. IT IS NOT BECAUSE
YOU ARE MAKING THE THREAD, Justin. It all depends on what it contains. You happen to create a lot of interesting, great threads in PVP and PGen. We don't lock them, do we? Because they are totally fine.
As for that particular thread you are referencing now, the thread creator specifically wanted to discuss romance, feelings, whether or not it's possible. There are even examples from the anime, as some showed there, where pokémon take a liking for humans. Rest assured that the mods were monitoring the thread and should it end up with inappropriate content, we would make sure to fix it.
I just want you to believe that we are not working against you on purpose, Justin. We are working against
anything that makes people feel bothered.
