Tits that inspire

[Kelliezgirl]

Subtext: an underlying and often distinct theme in a piece of writing or conversation. This is what I meant with my post.

Let me tell you about my first experience looking around Literotica's community side five years ago: I didn't even know where to start. The general boards were not definitely my type; they looked pretty much the same as a PornHub comment section. My interest was in AH, and to this day, it's still mostly focused in AH (though I tend to browse Story Ideas to see if I can help, the Poetry board because I'm learning how to do poetry, or PB [read only] because I am in the mood to rot my brain and I don't have access to a bad film so I rather watch people arguing like an old lady gossiping on their neighbors), but I didn't post more frequently until recently. The reason for it... well...



Somehow this. Is not just the generational gap that we have. To my knowledge, I am the youngest user here at this moment (early 30s), until SpicyBean showed up and then moved out. You can take this as a joke as much as you want, but jokes tend to have a grain of truth. Five years ago, I felt AH was like the most exclusive place of Literotica, as in you needed to have some sort of Platinum subscription that costs 10000$ a day, plus a daily supply of nudes to share between the users (don't take this analogy too seriously). Turns out I was mistaken, but the vibe still remains. Forget about the pictures; just this week there was one person asking where their non-con story should go, yet some authors were quick to point out their distaste without offering any real advice.

Do you see where I'm going with this? Is not just about pictures, really. If anyone wants to post selfies here alongside their stories, well, it's their lives, and I'm aware that trolls and catfishes do exist not just here, but everywhere. I'd leave it to this question: where is the line between healthy skepticism and unofficial expulsion from the board? Subtext matters.

There's definitely an attempt by some people to control the bounds of discourse on the site.
It's relatively common for someone to post a completely legitimate question and get mobbed by the tone police. Or snide remarks about the question,
Then the general comments that would make any new poster feel unwelcome.
It's all pretty juvenile.

There are a handful of us under 30 year olds, but the demographics here definitely skew older.

Wow. Make me feel unwelcome ... for thinking the exact same thing, ... but being older.

LOL..

Age doesn't make people judgmental extremists!

(There are a handful of us over ... well, let's just say decades older than you,... who feel the same way about juvenile behavior.)

I don't think age has anything to do with the issues we're discussing here.

I agree.

Age has nothing to do with appreciating "tits that inspire."

(LOL. Don't take this as any kind of personal attack. It's all for fun)

The only issue I have with the OP's pic is that it appears to be of a woman leaning against something and napping, which means she didn't take the photo and is unlikely to know of its existence.

It's one thing to share your own photo, it's another thing entirely to share what appears to be a candid photo of someone unaware their photo is being taken.

The hearts are likely blocking the divider/barrier she's leaning against which would show her other arm down beside her, making it more obvious she didn't take the photo of herself and was, in fact, napping at the time.

Sharing personal photos taken with consent - do your thing.
Sharing personal photos of dubious origin/consent? Not cool.

 

[Lifestyle66]

The hearts are likely blocking the divider/barrier she's leaning against which would show her other arm down beside her, making it more obvious she didn't take the photo of herself and was, in fact, napping at the time.

The angle of the photo showing approximately 75% of her right breast and only 50% of her left breast along with the placement of her nose and chiseled chin slightly left of center over her cleavage suggests she may have held the cellphone camera in her right hand.

With her left bare wrist covering the top center of her miniskirt, this may indicate that she took the photo herself, EXCEPT for the angles from the photo center to the nose/face line pointing over her cleavage AND the line of the gap between her thighs directing the eye to her left wrist assisting in concealing the top of her possibly hairless mons ....


LOOK AT THE DETAILS! (They certainly caught my attention, but you claimed to be erotically inclined!)

EDIT: Don't judge too quickly! Take the time to study such details.

 

[dream_yahoozie]

There once was a gal from Lake Cushman,
Whose boobs were so big the could crush men.
When she went to the store,
It was always a chore,
To fit them into a tops that still smooshed them.

I'm a poet and I didn't know it

I've taken photos of myself at that angle and my shoulder is never down when I do. My wrist tends to end up in the photo as well, and I typically don't appear to be sleeping. My chest is usually pushed out from trying to keep my face out of the shot, but sure, I bow to your expert analysis of the photo. (For the record, when you lift your arm like that, your boob doesn't stay relaxed and rounded, it stretches.)

Although, now that I looked a little closer, she appears to be laying on a couch, so at least whoever took the photo knows her. Totally makes it okay.

It's behind one of the hearts, but her phone is in her left hand.

I guess some people own two phones.

People want THEIR truth to be THE truth. It’s a scourge of humanity in these difficult times.

And they're so rigid in their thinking. Flexibility rarely exists anymore.

So there’s a saying, I think I first read it in an Orson Welles interview: ‘it’s like picking up a shit with gloves. The gloves get shittier but the shit doesn’t get any glove-ier’.

I think you’re completely right that there’s a sort of orthodoxy here in AH. However, just so long as everyone feels comfortable enough to challenge and argue against it in a respectful way, that is actually a good thing. For two reasons I can think of.

Number one, it shows that a culture has been created in which ideas have to be able to stand up for themselves. Truth is a group activity, right? Someone introduces a thought and everyone else gets to turn it over every which way and poke it and see if it’s solid. You might get teased but, so what, we’re not 6 year olds. Ideas that aren’t that strong get discarded or ignored. That’s the way it should be, I think.

Number two, this orthodoxy then creates a space in which people know that bollocks gets short shrift. I’ve seen some of the extraordinarily shitty, bratty, bigoted behavior on the PB and then I’ve noticed those same people sometimes come into the AH and, for the most part, they’re suddenly being solicitous and fair and listening to responses etc.

These are a good things.

It’s one of those rare occasions where the shit does actually get a little glove-ier. And that’s to be celebrated, I think.

Ahh, but bullocks don't get short shrift here. People say some absurdly untrue things here, and because it fits the narrative certain people want to maintain challenging it is beyond pale.
We had a discussion not to long ago where multiple research papers published in peer reviewed journals were presented as evidence to support one side position. Now, if the culture you're claiming existed here, actually existed here then a reasonable response would be to provide evidence for the opposing position.
Unfortunately, much like a group of flat earthers, suddenly it became about how the people who wrote those peer reviewed articles must be somehow biased. What evidence was provided of this supposed bias? Well, the conclusions didn't match through AH's preferred narrative, ergo it must be bias.
The delightfully funny part is that in the run up to that people made utter fools of themselves by proving they don't understand basic concepts in research like what a meta-analysis is, or why research papers always include a discussion of the limitations of the work.

The other problem is that the orthodoxy that people try to enforce here isn't actually reflective of the majority of the people who participate here. We have our own little pack of Mutawa here trying to enforce conformity. Watch the threads for awhile. You'll see someone post something that the Mutawa don't approve of and they will try to browbeat the offender into recanting. Then you'll see a larger group of people arrive and address the actual point the OP made.

How about you both put some tits in your mouths and enjoy your time here lol

I for one would enjoy that from someone no matter the age

Yeah, that's not the AH way of arguing.

Also, I tried to stay away from the discussion in question as it became too (American) political. I really don't want to go there and I see no reason to argue for one or the other political side. From my "European" perspective, they are hardly different.

But I must admit it was hard not to jump in at a certain point, for one reason only. There are AHers who will often ask the other side for data, proof, and studies to confirm their claims. But when you provide such studies, they will outright claim bias, errors in approach, etc., even if they aren't experts in the field and can't provide any proof of bias except for their general impressions.
It's not possible to discuss any subject in such a way.

Okay, you've got my curiosity piqued. Which thread should I go to so that I can read this? I will do my bestest not to revive it or restart anything, I just wanna see the research in all its glory.

Okay, I give up, WHAT? I know what you're talking about, but the damn explanation just blew my fucking mind.

Simply put, we have people who argue facts where none exist, right?

Not exactly, we have people who can't handle facts that don't agree with their preferred narrative.
