Should we have AR/AP?

I won't vote on the poll because I don't think it applies. If you were asking whether I like that sort, no, not really, not a huge fan, I mean it's just something that can be part of the story as far as I'm concerned but I don't have a 'thing' for it. It doesn't mean that I want to tell others what to do either.

Lore is King, and Lore's rule is the Law of the Land... Get used to it, or get packing.

...damn, I'm a real asshole today...

Democracy? Where did you get that idea? This is a slightly Democratic Republic.

A slightly democratic republic with a deregulated company controlling a large percentage of the ballots/vote tallies, regular voting scandels, lobbiests...

This is corporate interests pulling the strings while leading Joe Sixpack to think he's in control.

Regarding AR/AP, I'm comforted to see a number of people expressing the same view I try to have. Essenntially, who are we to judge? People getting off to women growing impossibly tall? To women becoming animals? Pedophiles are almost commonly acknowledged compared to us. And should we be condemning people with other tastes when ours are absurd enough as it is?

I'm sure Lorekeep considered the pros and cons and decided he was fine with it when he originally created the forum.

We need Diebold to tabulate the votes more accurately!

To be honest, there are probably quite a few things wrong with both... and they're probably effortlessly the most morally wrong processes in FTF at a base level - that's to say, while all other aspects of FTF have potential for abuse and such, none of them is by default dancing so close to a taboo.

That said, my views aren't overwhelmingly strong. I'll occasionally glance at AP and I pretty much avoid AR but I'm not going to burn people at the stake for their preferences... so long as it's all kept... decent. It's all rather hard to pin down but suffice to say, I could live without the AR/AP section and can imagine circumstances where that might be necessary.

It largely depends for me. My AP/AR preferences are very strict. Number one, if the beginning or ending age is below 17, no sex, please. And I don't like the regressing to little-kid age or a 5 year old becoming an adult anyway. Those just make me queasy. I try hard to avoid becoming a pedophilac and I have no intentions of becoming one. I also disapprove of incest, so the mother-on-son thing just disgusts me and makes me wonder what is going on inside that artist's head.

I prefer AR/AP that, in the end, means something. Like a little sister who becomes older so she can protect her frequently-bullied brother, for instance, or a secret agent who can age-shift so she can look anywhere from a child to a grandmother.

i'd have to say ideal age start for AP would be about 7-8
then end for AP somewhere between 20-30
kupo
for AR, Personally most of the AR out there is too young for me
I'd say Start AR @ 50-infinity end AR @ Approx 20 (18 min)

Consider also the source of that taboo. Different cultures and societies have different rules. Who's is right?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...

I thought of an equivalent to the physical AP without mental... Someone already of age, reduced to a child-like mentality. Case in Point: Elfen Lied. Now in that case, would anyone have the same moral objection? It's the same difference...

Double Standards suck!

only if your catgirl could be a test subject in the matter. she seems of age so why not reduce her mental capacities to that of an 8 yr old?
