But the word shit is ok? Classic lemmyshitpornpost

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

will it be:

  • high-quality tasteful images of people uploading terrible garbage memes in a non-sexual manner
  • sexually explicit images of people uploading terrible garbage memes
  • plain ol scat

the possibilities are endless

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Literal scat porn, but turned into relatable memes. Like.... 2girls1cup, captioned with "life be like."

“That moment when…”

I remember reading a comment a while ago (on Reddit, ironically) which pointed out that SFW subreddits naming themselves [subject]porn are borrowing the wrong part from the word "pornography". "Porn" is from greek pornē meaning "prostitute", but the suffix -graphy means "to write" and is often used to indicate "the study of" the thing it's attached to (e.g. geography, cryptography, demography, etc.)

It would be more accurate, and perhaps less controversial, if these communities named themselves earthography, spaceography, unixograpy, etc. As an added bonus, the -grapy suffix is also prominent in "photography" which is appropriate considering that many of these communities are places where people share photos of the subject matter.

I think you're missing the point of the -porn suffix. Its not supposed to convey "the study of" or "images of". Its meant to convey that viewing it is satisfying in some primitive/emotional/aesthetic way. NaturePorn isn't just "pictures of nature", it's "pictures of nature that suck me in and make me want to see more". In that regard, the comparison to sex is intentional.

JusticePorn is definitely not a study on justice

We need an Astrography community

It's not exactly comedy. What do you want us to call Earth porn? ”Reallyprettypicturesofearthbutwithoutanyhumancreations"?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point, but can't most of them replace "porn" with, pic, or, art, work or pictures?

  • c/EarthPics
  • c/UnixArt
  • c/RetroArt

"Does PornPics exist?"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Literally anything else. Earthpics, coolearthpics, globescope, naturerama, third planet...that was just 5 seconds of thinking. Using the word porn for everything just lacks creativity.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

naturephotography too wordy for you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

EarthPorn is typically exclusive of animal pictures though from what I've seen.

Is there something about the word "porn" that actually communicates "really pretty pictures of something but without any human creations" beyond its Reddit meme usage? Because it doesn't for most people.

Also, not all community rules and objectives need to be in the name and URL. The word "porn" in URLs is problematic for users sitting behind state or corporate internet connection though. Be kind to your local network administrators!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Yes. This usage originated well before reddit. "Car porn", "gun porn," "disaster porn."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Porn in the sense of something that is the sort of over the top example of a thing that elicits an almost aroused response. Like a gratuitous picture of food would be considered FoodPorn. Or like 2 perfectly machined pieces of metal fitting together perfectly would be EngineeringPorn.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm up voting this because I hope it gets a better answer than earthporn, in spite of the apparent bad faith rhetorical question.
