What kinds of comments would be considered creepy besides “I want this character to do this or that with me” or “I wish I was this character”?

Updated by bitWolfy

Including but not limited to: divulging what you did because of the pic ("I came", "That gave me such a boner."), talking as if the character was real ("Those balls smell great I bet", "My face would go perfectly between her legs."), detailing your sex life ("I did that with my brother once", "I used to be able to do that to myself."), ...

Just don't divulge your own desires, fantasies, or sexual exploits in the comment section. People generally don't want to hear what someone else wants to do to a character in the picture.

In terms of trying not to sound creepy when it wasn't your intention, phrasing is pretty important, and from experience you generally don't want to be using first person.

Yes.. I suppose the rule initially sucks. But "for the greater good" it might be better, in the end. Do you really want to scroll through 50 "the artist mad me cumming due to maturbate" comments every time you log in?

The only compromise I've ever thought of is adding comment vote karma-modifiers, to give the userbase a bit of say in want counts as creepy or not, and allowing filtering based on the hive-mind's subjective opinion.

My current favorite was "I am jealous of that guy" which I believe was deleted at some point.

You mean like already exists? Comments below a certain score threshold are already automatically hidden.

You cant make any kind of comment at all that shows any kind of liking of a situation or anything like that.... Your best off not making any comment at all if you value your account

Every time one of these topics gets bumped, it's always somebody whining because they got a slap on the wrist.

You can express appreciation for an image without making it overtly sexual.

You responded to a neutral record by being passive-aggressive in editing it, I'm not sure what you expect to happen.

If you comment "god i wish that were me" you are BUSTED!

What about creepypasta comments?
Oh right, those are spam comments. :grin:

Also, using word busted on a porn site... For shame! People might get confused and think you mean something else!

Seriously, though, not really wanting to read comments like examples in OP.

It's really funny whenever these kinds of threads come up because you can look through and see the people who are probably hated by everyone they know in real life because they have no clue how to function socially.

It's really easy to understand the creepy comments rule; people don't come to this website to see you, they come to see the artwork. It's like going to some strip club only to have some fat hairy guy climb up on the stage and grab the dancers, which would absolutely get that guy thrown out. As long as you don't make the experience about you, you will be fine.

I don't really think what I wrote should be considered "creepy", maybe two or three comments, but not the entire section.

Having now read your oeuvre, I disagree.

I have marked the creepy / roleplaying comments for you: https://e621.net/comments?group_by=comment&search[creator_id]=1080793
I hope this helps.

Please, stop talking to characters in the image.
Around here, it is considered to be roleplaying, and may result in your account being suspended.

No, you marked my comments where in the same pic there are others like mine, it's different.

https://e621.net/posts/2287992 (ditto like the first pic)
Same with the ones with the eeveelution, you marked only mine.

Others making similar creepy comments doesn't mean you aren't ("they did it too!" isn't a valid defense). The mods aren't psychic. They have to be alerted to them through reports from users, or if they happen to see it themselves, but they aren't going around looking for them to see every instance.

The newest comment there is from a year ago, others are from 2 years ago.
Generally speaking, if a comment is left alone for more than 6 months, the user does not get punished. Unless they are talking about something actively malicious or illegal, of course.

Saying that you want to have the same pillow is okay.
Saying that you want to be that pillow is creepy.

iwantafurryofmyown said: https://e621.net/posts/2287992 (ditto like the first pic)

Same as with the first pic, comments are over a year old.
Plus, there are only two people actually responding to the "question" in the pic: one is a deleted account, the other was already warned for something like this after the fact.

It does not really matter what the question was or wasn't.
Talking about having sex with a character is creepy.

"Marking" is a relatively new feature, and not everyone uses it.
If a comment is left unmarked, that does not mean that the user wasn't punished for it.

Now that I explained the marks on 4 comments, do you want to talk about the other 13?
Or are you actively trying to get banned?

iwantafurryofmyown said:
Ridiculous.

Not all but certainly some of your comments cross the line.

Also, others cross the line of the "no roleplaying in the comments" rule.

And if you don't know where the line is, that a sign you should say nothing at all.

No, it's not? Do you consider creepy fantasying about being hugged my someone you like? It doesn't matter if it's fictional or real.

If a get banned, it would not be by my fault, but I get the "not roleplaying" thing.

Just that, but I think we give a different definition of the word creepy.

It's not just my definition. It's in the rules, which you have accepted when you made an account.

If you get banned because you made the stupid decision to ignore the warnings and advice of the site's administration, then yes, it is 100% your fault. That's how defined crime works.

It's my fault if I DO break the rule. But Jesus Christ, how can be considered "creepy" wanting to be hugged by someone? How? Just this.
I'll remember for the next time to not "to roleplaying".

Because they're fictional characters on an image made by (if not for) someone else, which is butting yourself into someone else's scenario, and butting into other users' enjoyment who don't want to think about you doing things to characters in the image. We're here to enjoy furry art, we don't come here to hear about what fictional characters you (or I) want to hug or "make love" with.

You weren't just saying that you wanted to hug a character. That would still be mildly inappropriate, but you said you "want to be THAT pillow" (emphasis yours).
Either way, I am not gonna argue with you all day about it. You've said worse stuff than that anyways. [1] [2]

Simply keep the site rules in mind from now on. Otherwise, you would not be welcome here.
