Post containing only a picture of a chopped up animal, blood and gore posted with the sole purpose to shock and disturb is not something you would warn a user for?

... I've seen roadkill before, I love eating dead cow, I've been deer hunting before... What about a bloody octopus is supposed to offend me? In certain countries they are a delicacy. Omgsavetheoctopus now?

Whether it offends you personally or not is maybe not the relevant criteria here.

[19:05:48] <Weekly_Rename> yo yo for the record, that squid was fully intact... the hole was where the ink comes out of, and the liquid was ink, not blood
[19:06:00] <Weekly_Rename> but who cares really X

Also, hunting is a fairly common thing for people to be familiar with.

This is a hunting product called "Butt Out". It's purpose is quite literally it's name.

Posting an imitation (picture) of an offensive picture (imitation) that you know is deemed offensive surely falls under posting offensive images. Drawing a swastika by hand and posting it and claiming it isn't a real swastika would not be any defence against being accused of posting swastikas.

No?

The Hitler/Nazi argument has been used. The argument is now over.

swastika is just part of a hypothetical. That just popped to mind cause the image is banned in germany (so i heard) not because of offensiveness.

I didn't compare anyone to nazi/hitler whatsoever. :o

godwin's metalaw; no one can mention nazi/hitler without godwins law popping up?

Hunting is fairly common, but there's alot of people in the world who would puke their guts out before they'd willing do or watch it. Just cause something is something you might see hunting, doesn't make it work safe nor appropriate for this board.

To be honest: We at the FBI always found that interest in RTS rather pathological. Who would volunteer to send hundreds of units to certain death in a bloody war? They are not without reason so popular in germany.
