If you want to be a snarky person about it, do something like sysout("Take a piece of paper and write this string down, user:" + theString). The say you were harnessing the cybernetic capacities of the human/machine interface to store data. (Then complain to his department head)

Glad I never had to deal with something like that in my compsci classes. The worst I ever had were assignments that built off one another, and which could be solved in different ways... only some of the ways would make doing later assignments impossible, and we weren't warned about this beforehand, or even just given a full rundown of all the final program was supposed to do.

Why are her eyes so far up her face in where her forhead should be?

It's rather weird that writers would place all the significance on the male orgasm--aren't the female "parts" more sensitive and give better/stronger orgasms, or am I just mistaken?

To most whatnot, the female orgasm, and sexual sensitivity is described as a bit more "powerful" than the male. So yes, it is partially why I flip over herms that solely depicts male orgasm as the only "valid" type.

@Stone: I personally both blargh and facepalm every time I see something labelled "lesbian", when it involves one or more guys. Honestly doubt there is any "gay cunnilingus" out there.

@Swicked: Honestly quite surprised you are promoting my fic xP Currently going more bad than good for it. Just like for JC penny, being honest is a bad thing x3

@Robo: You saw the Rarity one at least. The Celestia+Twilight one is done by the same person :P

As for the fic, I am honestly not too sure xP It's a very specific type of fic. And already attracted quite a bit more hate than likes. Personally guessing due to being reversed norm.

@OAC: Yeah... knowing a couple trans IRL and online, I feel the generic futa rather insults them to a degree. And tbh, most stereotypical representations of the "classic" transgender.
But yeah, I know the artist Cobalt did a really bad example of this. His character "Cherry", she was a female "dom", completely neglected her own physical pleasure, only ever using a strap-on to avoid pleasuring herself, had NO interest whatsoever in getting off. Had as her only goal to sexually satisfy males. And despite being supposed "dom", she let males utilize her for their own pleasure, nor "punished" them in any way if they ex: came in her eye. "because it looked hot". Now, he gave her a sex change, and now he, supposedly the "same" character, is obsessed with getting off, loves all type of physical stimulation, seeks out pleasure and craves blowjobs and constantly aims to mainly pleasure themselves, if not solely, because now they are "allowed" to, as they have something to orgasm and be dominant with.  It is about as bad as imo a artist called "Lost Dragon" that made a pair of "Twins" as his oc,and they were supposed to be identical, and be "him". And due to this. (almost always) The female has no interest whatsoever in her own pleasure, because she doesn't have the genital to be allowed to. It is basically the bad personality placement. Both love fellatio, and as the female has other equipment, she has no interest in getting off, but loves to give male's oral. The male in the other hoof, having the "compatible equipment", loves to get oral. This falls into the category of bad 63-ing of characters... it's just as if BJ was gender swapped and suddenly would become dominant and mainly care about his own orgasms. A technical "full transfer" BJ would count mare orgasms during sex, and be a total sub like his female counterpart is.

I have to correct something right here.  A group of people are not a hivemind because we are intersex.  I don't give a shit if someone uses the term futa and I certainly do NOT feel offended when someone does label at such when drawing porn, cause I'm just there to watch some porn.  Porn always misrepresents real life sex so why get upset about it.  "Futa", "Trap", "Shemale", "Futa", "Tranny" I don't give a shit if I get called that cause getting offended cause they either fit into three categories-
1)They don't know the proper terminology so why care if they don't know what to call me.
2)They are just some horny person with a fetish so why care?
3)They're just some idiot that doesn't understand transgenderism and only knows what they learned from bill o'reilley or someone so why care if someone is just a closed minded idiot.

And-
4)I do not need someone to white knight and get offended for me.  If I don't give a care then why should you get offended when I clearly don't?
5)I do actually like intersex porn, so why are you getting offended when I do like porn of what you are trying to defend me from?  That'd be like getting upset at how african americans are misrepresented in porn(you know what I mean as in if they were to actually have sex with someone else chances are it would send the woman to the hospital from a ruptured . .) and when someone that is african american does like that porn.

Tl:dr; It's porn-

To do my programming assignment, I must save a string.
However, the professor has said not to save anything.
Not in buffers, not in files, not to stack or to screen.
I have no flipping clue what the heck he could mean.

He won't reply to email more than once a day and he's very... reserved in what he's willing to say.
He didn't even explain before now this requirement. I really hope this guy is not long for retirement.

Easy: If there's no way he can find out then cheat.

 A group of people are not a hivemind because we are intersex.

Saying this and going on to say that no one should be offended because you are not....strikes me as somewhat ironic.

It is kind of ironic, BUT it's JUST porn. Getting upset about porn is like well getting upset at porn. Porn is to get your jollies off. It's not william shakespeare, it's not Odyssyus rising, it's visual representation of people or things fucking. If we were talking about mass media and how it can impact society by negatively portraying a group of individuals, like how foxnews portrays glbt as out to "pass the gay" onto your children, but this is porn we're talking about.

The whole point of porn is to create a nonrealistic representation of sex to satisfy a sexual need. If porn was realistic it would be ten+ minutes of buildup of, "oh come on don't be like that" and just generally people trying to get their partner willing to have sex then the average 3 minutes of sexual activity most people have and then finishing. I could go on about all the things why porn builds a nonrealistic representation of sex, but ANYONE who has ever had sex knows that porn is NOT real life cause otherwise we wouldn't have people developing porn addiction. The reason why porn addiction is a problem for so many people is that porn in general hyperidealizes sex to where the addicts' real sexual experiences are no longer adequate for them.

My whole point in a nutshell is that it's porn, and porn is NOT real life therefore it is not going to realistically represent real life sex. If anyone here thinks porn is anything like real life sex then you have a problem, and that's not a "well I say you have a problem", but a "Not understanding the difference between pornography and real life sex is how porn addiction happens".

TL:DR; Porn is NOT real life  

[Frost]

I think what some folks here (Kat and OAC can feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken) are saying is that the material created, even if it's "just porn", is indicative of the mindset of both the author and their reader-base. It's one thing to create a sexual story wherein two people have sex. It's another thing to create a sexual story where one person (as Kat attests, usually the female) is reduced to a toy to act for the pleasure of the other party.

I'm obviously not saying that these stories are going to turn readers into rabid misogynists, but rather that the success such stories garner is indicative of flawed and somewhat sexist thinking on the part of both the creators and the fans.

What I am saying (repeatedly) is that the mindset of the creator has near-absolute influence on any serious fantasy they create. That the readers will be able to distinguish what they're reading from their own lives is (god-damn hopefully) implicit

What I am saying is that if someone is unable to recognize the fantasy as a not real life then they have a serious problem, be it the viewer or those that are discussing it and that saying that a fantasy should mirror real life is a pretty big loss on the grasp of the difference between reality and fiction.

If someone really can't understand the difference between fantasy and reality it's a very big problem and they should seek help immediately.

Which is, at this point, completely off-topic. We were discussing how porn relates to the mindset of those involved. The relation between fantasy and reality was a minor tangent.

Speaking of tangents, one has to wonder--could someone with that sort of problem (blending reality and fantasy) have their condition improved by imagining that they're taking medication and seeing a therapist?

Erm, I was only trying to say that it seems silly to just do vanilla sex when you bring futafolk into the field. It's like... having an alien invasion in a fantasy story, and then doing a completely mundane save-the-princess-from-the-dragon-knight's-quest story be the focus. Sure, if you're just looking to get off, that doesn't matter, and I'm not gonna be all "oy, your pornography doesn't hold water when it comes to accurate depictions of sexual encounters!" because it's not the job of porn to teach people sex (or, well, it bloody shouldn't be) - that's for the schools to do. They do a shite job of it, but it really should be in there. And I don't just mean "here's how to wear a condom," I mean... some actual bloody theory and stuff, y'know? It'd be distasteful to folks, but sex ed should not fade to black during actual sex.

Um. Anyway! Bit off topic. Point is, sexy stuff can be held to high standards. Doesn't have to be, but it can be. That's all I have to say about that.

@Frost "imagining that they're taking medication and seeing a therapist?"
Well, if they actually believed they were taking medication, then that'd be the placebo effect, I'd think. Ditto with therapy, I suppose, though there's a less hallucinatory version of that, historically - the imagined philosophic dialogue has been used to help people reason out stuff in the past.

I'd have to disagree. Wasting class time on something like that seems ridiculous to me. I think if you're already being that intimate with someone there's no reason to be shy on teaching your partner how to please you.

[O. Hinds]

A technical "full transfer" BJ would count mare orgasms during sex, and be a total sub like his female counterpart is.

…Huh. This stuck in my head after reading it, and I think that I figured out why: coming from 99 as she does and being who she is… maybe that's meaningful? After all, she's never been a deliberately evil or selfish pony, just a bit too dumb to always notice little things like living on the morally wrong side of a rape factory. When you describe her like that, though, maybe some part of her noticed how things were in 99 long before the rest of her and sympathized with the males?

Or I could just be tired and having terrible ideas, and R63 Blackjack stuck in my head because for some reason stallions are particularly hot in PH (seriously, I may decline the concept of discreet sexual orientations, but evidence suggests that I'm usually significantly more attracted to females than males; PH is just this weird place where Pstygius-21, Lancer-21 (or, hey, while while we're at it, all three of them together), apparently R63 Blackjack… See, and now I just started wondering what R63 Glory is like!).

Anyway, this discussion (the overall one, not the one in the paragraph above) is making me think of a story I read recently, A Stallion for the Time Being and something that I found odd while reading it.

Spoiler:

The story was otherwise good enough for me to favorite it, but the thing in the spoiler bugs me a bit.

I think I can agree with you on errogenous zones, but the rest? No. At the end of the day I believe it is your job to discover yourself in that way and once you have done so to teach your partner what they need to know.

[Guest]

@Last
Education to enable people to do that, safely, is what I'm trying to advocate. That's not necessarily something people feel comfortable doing, or are even aware is a thing they can do. And awareness that others are on that same road to discovery, at least, and may have things they like. Basically, the tools to navigate, whatever they may be.
