/u/ - Yuri

>strawberry as sly synonym for carpet muncher

That seems to be right up the alley for a country that uses "The Moon sure is beautiful" to say, "I love you."

Also, until this thread, I thought "lily" was synonymous for "yuri" because Japanese fucking suck dick at pronouncing the letter L.

>>2856

Then it would be riry

>>2837

Strawberries are new to me, Lilies has been explained in full by >>2845 and >>2847

The one I would like to add is violets also being a flower related to yuri, and that's one we have the Greek poet Sappho to thank for. She's also the source of "sapphic" and "lesbian".

Quality western content is allowed but it must be in it's own thread. For example >>2631

I know. I'm not a faggot who doesn't check the board rules before responding to mods. I actually nearly posted two more that technically wouldda been delete bait (high quality RWBY stuff). You weren't wrong on those both being violations, and the rules mention there's a megathread for quality western.

However, that rule is honestly fucking dumb with how slow this board is; the origin shouldn't matter, the quality requirement scaled to how related the pic is to the discussion should be the determining factor. Kinda like an old /u/ with better standards (since the no-western rule was so rarely enforced). Or any other image board woth its shit.

If we were bursting at the seems, maybe then having it would make sense, but we're not. It's a retardedly divisive/limitting rule, and it's being used in a community too small to break off into its own board with blackjack and hookers with any success. It looked like /lu/ was an attempt at that, yet both us and them combined I don't believe breaks 5000 posts total, and it's been how long since we left t/u/mblr?

Shit, sis, I think I even have the screencap of that thread old /u/ got to last over a year. We're "old /u/ from concentrate". We make old halfchan's /ck/ look like fucking sanic.

I tried to encapsulate that in the sigh, but ya had to be a smug onee trying to be helpful about it.

I would include a smug helpful onee pic (probably Miku from Symphogear), but alas, I'm at work, and thus, lack my smug onee folder.

Original post deleted and reposted because spoiler stars don't like line breaks.

Fair 'nuff on there being people too autistic to handle there being western stuff. Of course, I'd prefer to tell them to stop being whiny bitches, but then I'm being divisive. On the other hand, It's hard to strike a fair median with someone who refuses to give any maneuvering room. Kind of a no-win situation.

On the subject of western threads, well, there's so few that really warrant their own thread. And even when we do get something out here, the quality does tend towards low. Because of that, I feel quality alone is a good enough filter, but again, you have the rufusal to compromise problem from above, and since most good material is still allowed with a western ban, well…

I might suggest a tweak to the rule so a more general thread can request a relaxed enforcement of the no-western rule in the OP- shifting it simply to quality control. I'll phrase this better in a post to Meta in the next few days.

Btw, was cool actually getting a reply from you like this, especially one that wasn't spergy. Refreshing, actually, what with the owner drama I've dealt with on various other boards. I really need to remember to spend more time here, it's always so pleasant.

Honestly it's incidentals that I'm peeved about. Even in a source within the 90%-shit there's 9% decent and 1% gold. It's simply how quality works, and if you get enough monkies on typwriters you will get Shakespeare.

Honestly not sure why I'm getting so rustled over this. The original two pics I posted were

>A /tg/u/ joke that fell under the 3d rule (though not egregiously imo): two decent-looking western girls making out next to a Dark Heresy box set.

I understood the deletion of that one- zero tolerance of 3d isn't something that bothers me. Was my bad for not checking the exact rules before posting. Non shit 3d is so rare I usually attribute a lack of it to actual taste rather than a rule, so lurking failed me.

>A (I believe) oneoff short comic poking fun at defining someone as a lesbian.

Western style, so it's even rather self-depricating since that's usually the problem with gay in western media.

Neither of these warrant a crusade.

It might be that I'm just unsure what is meant exactly by "western"- source, derivative, source style, and/or derivative style. In fact that is probably it.

- Source feels dumb outside of banning discussion and source-linked threads- where the level of related can lower the quality bar by too much.

- Derivative is neigh-impossible to enforce without recognizing that vulva or way too many sauce requests, so it isn't that.

- Source style again fits the role of source, but is a bit questionable as some western cartoonists have shifted more towards a Japanese style (eg, Korra and RWBY). At what point does it start being too western?

- Derivative style makes sense as a general rule, but has the same enforcemrnt vagueness as source style.

Enforcing both source rules at all times is redundant, so dropping the vague one is easy. Enforcing it outside of thread topic seems like overkill, however, since it would nix based on inspiration rather than the content being posted.

Enforcing based on the derivative is more sensical of a general content rule, but then runs into the same style vagueness problem.

Phrasing the western style rule as based on quality instead substitutes the blurry definition of something concrete for a not-trying-to-hide-it opinion that can have the same enforcement profile but conceivably could be "beaten" with sufficiently good material.
