The strange thought of what a F95zone meet up would be like

We're not here just because we're all obsessed with bodily functions, but because we're all fans of a hugely important and diverse genre of fiction.
Tell this to the part of the community that don't care about the story, nor the quality, as long as they can beat their meat. They aren't fans of something, not even fans of porn, they just want a different kind of fapping material. As long as it give them a hard on, they are good with whatever you'll put in front of them.


The reason we don't talk to work friends about how we liked the last update of Sexbot isn't because liking a piece of sexually explicit media is inherently gross (see: popular culture both losing its shit loving Game of Thrones, and calling it porn, not to mention its explicit incest storylines), but because society even more harshly judges people for the fiction they like now than they did ten years ago.
No, the reason we don't talk about Sexbot with them is because it's something totally unknown, at the exact opposite of Star Trek or Game of Thrones.

Globally speaking, everyone heard about Star Trek and Game of Thrones. Perhaps that they just heard about it, never having seen a single image and not really knowing what it is, but they heard about it. Therefore the chance that they have an opinion about it are high. ; way higher than the chance they have an opinion about Summertime Saga or Wild Life. And it happen that this opinion they can have is the reason why we talk to them.
We have our thoughts about [whatever] and want to hear theirs. As I said, it's possible with Star Trek or Game of Thrones, because they probably have thoughts about those topic even if they aren't fan nor effective viewers. But what is the interest to starts talking when this "whatever" is so confidential that there's near to no chance that they even knew it exist ?
"Hey, what do you think about Summertime Saga ?" / "About what ? Is it a music band ? A movie ? A new girl scout organization ? Oh, no, I know, it's the new trend on Bik and Tok or whatever the name of this app that teenagers like ?"
Yeah, what a captivating discussion, thanks. We aren't masochists, well, at least not that kind of masochism, we see no interest in talking about a subject that we will be the only one to know.


So, in politest terms, I disagree. The convention idea is a hard one to pull off largely because of sincere problems in our society, [...]
Yet you're the one who brought the AVN convention into the discussion...
Interesting to see that, accordingly to you, "the West, especially the US", is a society that "is not ready to address its love of porn games" featuring 2D/3D characters that, among other things, will have virtual sex time to time, but also a society that have no problems to address its love for porn movies with real actors that will pass most of the movie having sex...

Yes. Those two things, that are apparently contradictory with each other by any rational explanation, seem to both be true at the same time about broad swaths of Western society. Not my fault that people are hypocrites about sex. Or that people punish others for having non-vanilla attitudes about sex with very weird and often abusive exceptions for their own predilections. Or that some self-designated morality police feel perfectly justified to murder lots of people to protect some vague notion of proper sexuality.

That shit, far more than our hobby being immoral or niche or anything like that, is why an f95 con wouldn't work out. Though I do think that you have wildly underestimated how many people in the world have played games like Summertime Saga or Being a DIK or whatever. We are legion and we are in hiding.

Define "people" or, better, give effective examples to back your claim.

Is Netherlands, where prostitution is legal and where there's , included in your "people" ?
In more or less half of Europe , being or not regulated by Law. Are those countries included in your "people" ?
Is France that, just for its capital, have , part of your "people" ? And I don't talk about shady places, most have their own website so you can check it by yourself, and two are located on the Champs Elysee. Or perhaps is it me who's weird to think that BDSM is none-vanilla sex ?

Can you provide some examples ? And here I mean "from outside of the USA".
I'm sure that you'll not have too much difficulties to find them. In "the West", murdering "lots of people" isn't really something that happen often outside of the USA. There's of course, and alas, the multiple aggression against LGBT+, but by chance it only exceptionally end by a death ; and, obviously, this is out of topic here since homosexuality is neither a sexual practice, nor a sexual fetish.


Though I do think that you have wildly underestimated how many people in the world have played games like Summertime Saga or Being a DIK or whatever. We are legion and we are in hiding.
Summertime Saga have , and it's the most supported game. Even if only 1 player out of 30,000 decided to support the game, it would still only make 828 millions players, so just a bit more than 10% of the .
Looks like you wildly underestimated the world population.


Is "the West" ambivalent when it come to sexuality ? Yes.

We taught it in school (at least in most of Europe, so I don't talk about the usual bullshit US SexEd). Most of Western countries have a National Sexual Health week (here , but there's one for most of the other countries) where sexuality is directly addressed, as well as sexual orientation and fetishes (depending on the events), since they can have a direct incidence regarding one's health. Then, outside of those two periods (school and special days/weeks) we let it exist (prostitution, sex clubs, sex shops) be globally don't want to talk about it.
But this isn't due to a question of morality. We don't repress our sexuality, we just believe that it's something personal that don't have to be publicly addressed.

In the end, it looks more like you are personally fearing to be judged by your peer, and project this on every one.

Isn't... isn't the main issue that this is a piracy forum? Like, it's one thing to let everyone know about , but the true lack of decorum is the suggestion you didn't even pay for it. Even if you realized that a decent amount of people from here would be at PAX or something and tried to arrange a meet-up, there's always a chance the meet-up gets brigaded by busybodies from Twitter.

Well, Maybe the Gay/Bi F95 players will have more fun than you guys, expect the geek version of the pride parade. Of course, there will be furries, but hey, if I can find a hole in that suit, it's for fucking.

EDIT: Maybe my players will keep me locked in a basement for who knows how much time... yikes.

"Let's take this outside!"

Gotcha.gif


I hardly think not many would turn up. I'm a perfect example of someone that parties every other weekend.

Would be interesting to know the gap between anti-social and social people on this site
It's just a little guess. If many could, would they even bother to? people can easily just have a group meet up on Discord/Zoom.

is it really though? I think it's just interesting to you, I could care less. Not every curiosity needs to be answered/solved.

That kinda just looks like a furry meet-up. unless all staff/mods are furries
they are but you forgot gay. you see three gays up to the left waiting for their turn to wear the furry dresses. then up to the right you see the one heterosexual vanilla girl showing up to the meeting. she is leaving when she realizes that she is the weird one there

I'm not a fan of the "everyone except me is an incel loser" mentality. Personally I like to believe that most people around here are pretty normal outside of their love of porn games, and so a meet-up would be much like any other irl internet meet-up: very badly organised, occasionally awkward, but generally a good time.
