Hey tf2chan. I'm new here and I was a bit bummed out to learn that the porn boards are named/described in an androcentric way, which means that they assume everyone looking at this chan is male.

If it's relevant, I'm not male and I feel excluded and ignored because of the board names and descriptions. It would be cool if they could be changed. /gay/ isn't gay for me (/tits/ would be), so /dicks/ or something else that clearly describes the content in a non-androcentric way would be a better name imo. And /tits/ is a pretty accurate name for that board but the description is still androcentric so it would be nice if it could be changed to state that images/drawings of females/genderbends are welcome there.

These are all just suggestions and I haven't contributed anything to this site so I can't expect you to follow them but it would be nice.

Pic is actually related. I'll check back on this thread and reply to insults, I guess.

You'll find, Anon, that a majority of the people here are not male either. The people who named those boards, in fact, were female. So you'll have to forgive us if we don't see what's exclusionary about the name of those boards when we know that that males are actually in the minority on this board.

I'll be honest with you. I don't see the board names changing. I'm not in a position to change them, but I have my doubts that the administrator will see fit to change them either, especially at the request of the new Anon in town. You are probably going to have to deal with boards being named /tits/ and /gay/. If you can't deal with that, then I'm sure there are other places out there that can fulfill your needs.

If other chan members who have been here longer see the need for change, then something might happen, but this is a slow board and I seriously doubt that a lot of folk will care much about what the boards are called, ESPECIALLY /tits/ and /gay/ which aren't active boards.

So yeah, I wouldn't get your hopes up, Anon.

The gender of the users is irrelevant. Someone can be androcentric or any other form of discriminatory regardless of their gender.

I'm correct here about the board names and descriptions being androcentric. Your ignorance is your own choice and it would have taken a simple google search to learn the meaning of the word "androcentric" before posting nonsense.

I had hoped this *chan would become more inclusive and less discriminatory as a result of my post but I didn't expect it. Enjoy your uncivilized boards- I'm off to somewhere else. Pic related.

Tumblr would love to have you, I'm sure, 'cause we sure as won't miss you.

I should have been tipped off by the fact that you were asking a board celebrating an androcentric game would be androcentric that this would be a pointless discussion.

Topic closed. Any more of this carebear shit is getting banned. It's about time TF2chan started being a fucking chan again.
