It's funny, in a not-so-funny sort of way, that the issue of tagging threads came up because of the suggestion of erotic purpose in a thread. Meanwhile, we've had threads down in Town Square with detailed depictions of murder, theft, torture, vengeance and slavery, none of which prompted this discussion.
There's a quote from George RR Martin that I think is really appropriate here:
There's a quote from George RR Martin that I think is really appropriate here:
Quote:“I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustrating, it’s madness. Ultimately, in the history of [the] world, penises entering vaginas have given a lot of people a lot of pleasure; axes entering skulls, well, not so much.â€
