That's a new one: P-Bot Thread Locked

Posted by AnonymousFrogClock - April 6th, 2024

UPDATE: The awards have since reset:

Haven't seen this before: Today a P-Bot thread got locked, ending with this:

Yeah, the thread's not meant for big extended debates, but it's still terrible news indeed:

And all this is because of another fucking porn loop:

That being said: whether it breaks the rules or not, whether it counts as a technicality or not, whether people complain about it or not, whether it complies with American laws or not, it does not change the fact that the submission itself is almost bordering on pornographic and is thus wouldn't be worthy.

To close this off: I'm worried about the future of the awards in general. Unless the rules are as airtight as possible to prevent such an issue, we can't have nice things.

That's odd. Is it the first time that P-Bot award thread got locked?

AnonymousFrogClock 2024-04-06 03:57:32

Must be. You want to check?

SkilledFella 2024-04-06 03:59:56

@AnonymousFrogClock

I think I checked it. It must be a complaint about porn getting an award.

Yatsufusa 2024-04-06 04:18:43

Having watched it I would say that the #5 submission isn't pornographic. I'd even go so far to suggest that if that was an animation of a 'female' character getting her tail petted, nobody would have complained about a "T"-rating if it had have been a submission to the 'Art Portal'.

On that note: That is 'absolutely' a very short animated PNG made into a movie format. No BGM, no SFX, no voice acting. There is no reason this would have needed to be submitted as a movie.

AnonymousFrogClock 2024-04-06 04:18:43

And you're suggesting that despite the implications... not even softcore?

Were you aware that:
1: The outline of their testicles are still being shown and animated underneath their pants
2: The author describes them as "A lewdie bunny"

Yatsufusa 2024-04-06 04:43:17

I said "nobody would have complained"; not "it should have been rated that". ;)

Little-Renastair 2024-04-06 04:44:58

Locked because two people were having a lovers quarrel, can't really complain about that lock.

I have seen heated P-Bot threads get locked before.

AnonymousFrogClock 2024-04-06 04:44:58

Given you've been on Newgrounds several times longer than I have, can you point to an example?

@Little-Rena Anon owes me the best make up sex after this.

Yatsufusa 2024-04-06 06:35:45

Alright... I found the time to look at the other candidates and noticed a total lack of complaints and weird reviews for #9 which also a very short loop without any audio.

I do _not_ accuse anybody of being homophobic. But I 'do' notice that there are two measures being used by certain members of the community.

I think 'lewd stuff' can be funny, wholesome, heartwarming, interesting, thought-provoking, etc. just as 'non-lewd stuff' can. The #5 submission is at least interesting - although it's pretty lazy when it comes to craftsmanship...

The thing that bugs me most about this whole affair is that it is such a tiny thing that was blown up bigger that it had any right to be. Where are the complaints when somebody uploads the n-th 10 second "meme"-loop for a "meme" nobody knows or cares for, huh...?

AnonymousFrogClock 2024-04-06 06:35:45

You're probably talking about this:
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/924570
Sure it's very barebones, but it didn't actually win, To me it's just a mediocre upload that did absolutely nothing to harm anyone, though I will be cautious now.

That being said, there is proof that there's room for funny and creative movies that still contain nudity and sexualization and have them stand out in the adult space, rather than have the same lazy porn loops and SFM renders plague that side of the site in recent years, but that's its own issue. For example:
Nyaatural Selection: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/922850
Alone Time: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/919595
Final Fantasy 7 Collab: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/765377
Dragonball Z Collab: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/709875

But these are fully adult and rated A, not bordering M like #5. And it's not just the one incident we worry about, but several over the course of a few years, (it's usually always the lazy shit) that'll just happen again and again if nothing happens. Used to be worse last year.

KingCrowned 2024-04-06 08:16:57

Yeah we totally can’t have nice things because of certain person that is green *cough cough*

Little-Renastair 2024-04-06 11:31:02

I can't give an example because I'm not searching over 100 pages to find if a thread has been closed before, that's far too much effort for something that really doesn't matter!

Yatsufusa 2024-04-06 12:25:10

@Anonymous-Frog Yes, that was the animation I was referring to.

I don't disagree that the submission 'Tail Pull 01' is lazy from an animation standpoint. But I also cannot claim that I have seen something similar before, making it rather creative. And the people like what they like.

#4 is 'literally' a dude playing with his figurines playing a conversation children would have. (Yes, I know: "Africa Dudes"... Doesn't make it any more engaging.)

#3 Is (to the best of my understanding #not-my-doctor) an animation of a scene that already existed with audio that's "probably" under copyright...

There are 'a ton' of lazy submissions to NG daily - most of which get mysteriously passed. But I could not imagine starting a discussion just because I am dissatisfied with the results of my fellow Newgroundians' poor taste. (What I 'could' imagine would be scratchdex [the author] changing the age rating themselves because they were fed up with the discussion/PMs surrounding it...)
