- anon4 11y agoIt is forbidden imagery. Not only is it forbidden, people get extremely repulsed, revolted, indignant, angry, bothered, and censorious at the mere mention of a perfectly ordinary human organ. Imagine if the moralites went "HIDE YOUR KIDS, HIDE YOUR WIFE, CLOSE YOUR DAUGHTERS' EYES, THERE IS A SPLEEN DRAWN ON THE WALL!". Teenagers would be drawing little ovals all over the place. It's fun mainly because of people's outlandish reactions to a small soft harmless organ you hold every day while you pee.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoSo, it's not so much, "Hey, I drew a penis", but more "Look, I made StuffyButt1971 angry because I drew a penis"? Hmmm... There's better things to do with one's time.
- lotyrin 11y agoThese people tend to be those with an abundance of time. It's not worth much to them. They might say that there's better things to do with one's emotional and time resources than react to them or try to censor them. It's effectively an subjective DoS, they can cause someone else to expend emotional/experience/effort resources disproportionate and larger than those they expended themselves.
- d0100 11y agoSame argument can be made to those that get angry?
- zxcdw 11y agoI suspect it's a mere challenge for the "troll" to see if they can beat the system. If not, they'll try harder until they can. The more challenge the more rewarding it is, thus the harder they try and eventually succeed unless it's impossible (in which case they figure it out and quit trying). It's really the sincerest form of hacker spirit which manifests itself this way. Why? Because internet^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Hitler. Edit: Well, I didn't quite address the art part but still.
- fineman 11y agoI think the troll's motivation is closer to breaking a seemingly useless system to waste the time of those who think its important. You can argue against something, or show it to be unworkable.
- jwr 11y agoSeconded. And some people are making themselves much less employable — that commit history is there to stay.
- RankingMember 11y agoI, too, judge peoples' employability based on whether or not they've committed a series of dicks in a lighthearted Github repo. :P
- seba_dos1 11y agoYou made me want to draw some dicks in some public repo and get bad employers filter themselves out :P
- brwnll 11y agoPlease do. If you consider a company expecting employees to have the maturity above an adolescent boy "bad employers", we'd like you to help filter yourself out.
- seba_dos1 11y agoDon't worry, you probably already filtered me out. I have plenty of ponies shown publicly in many places, including github profile. That degrades my maturity level to a little girl - and I'm not even a woman! [/s] Any company judging "maturity" of actions done by someone in their spare time is not worth working for. It's just not their business to decide whether someone is "mature" or not, so if they cannot manage their business properly, why should I want to work with them? They probably won't be able to maintain healthy relationship with their employees anyway if they're so keen to filter out perfectly fine candidates over something so unimportant and nonharmful as low-grade sense of humor.
- ksenzee 11y agoIf you can't see the difference between ponies displayed publicly and penises displayed publicly, I'm not hiring you either.
