The Great Pornographic Ad Controversy
10 years ago
So for once I am actually going to comment on some FA drama. Usually I try to just ignore it; it's healthier for me that way.
But I am seriously for real disappointed - to put it mildly - about the new "mature" ads. I know FA has scaled them back, but they should be gone. All of them. This never should have happened in the first place. FA may host a huge amount of pornographic art, but there is a WORLD of difference between adult artwork of fantasy characters and actual video porn or - ESPECIALLY - crass, sexist, trashy, and disgusting websites that invite you to "fuck bitches" and "cheat on your wife secretly" and "fuck hot older women tonight." Not to mention the malware these types of ads carry.
A lot of people say just to use AdBlock and ignore it. I have AdBlock. That's NOT THE POINT. I don't want to be associated with that kind of filth. I can't control what people see, I can't make everyone install ad-blockers, and the thought of someone seeing an ad for real-world anonymous sex next to one of my pictures makes me SICK. FA really needs to cut the bullshit.

You've hit the nail right on the head.
FA is slowly turning into a shit site due to the moderators and administrators either not caring anymore or not doing the jobs they are assigned to do.
Maybe they don't display for Linux users?
