Pointless Pools

Posted under General

This is the fourth time someone's brought up pool #2459 without thinking about it. Just because someone's brought up a pool before doesn't mean it's magically more deletable because you are pissed it exists. We have already justified why it continues to exist.

I could find the posts but because you're so gung-ho about deleting things I leave it up to you.

Since you can't post these justifications, I'll have to assume that you have no idea what you are talking about.

You probably mean the first time it was brought up (page 31 ). Back then, there wasn't any way to tag a "parody of the source material style with the source material." . However, since we now have official style, the pool is completely pointless.

And yes, if a pool is posted here multiple times by multiple users, there is probably a good reason for that. Even more so because users who post here nearly never get any feedback as to why the pools are not deleted. As I said before, if a pool needs more than 3 posts of discussion, it probably stays no matter how pointless it is. And when I make a thread specifically about it, I get huge support even from mods. It's just diffusion of responsibility.

Just look at the list of pools and tell my why you think they shouldn't be deleted.

If something is not deleted the first time it's not out of apathy it's because a good enough reason hasn't been posted. If you manage to somehow post the best logic in the world ever about deleting each and every one of those pools I will delete them all. I already deleted one because it hadn't expanded beyond when it was first posted.

I'm not convinced that a tag rantuyetmai created with no discussion is a replacement for a pool, regardless of it's population.

pool #2813 - Touhou - Houraisan Kaguya - The Neet Princess

Since I just found this while searching the forum

ShadowbladeEdge said in forum #55178:
I think the Neet Princess pool should get the axe while we're at it.

BTW, also read rantuyetmai's post just above ShadowbladeEdge's. It reflects the state we are currently in concerning the "character x does y" pools.

There is a neet tag, albeit only with 61 posts. 45 of those are already Kaguya. In other words, the tag and pool are both about neet kaguya, but the tag allows for other characters. If we just tag all the images in the pool neet (except for the last one. even the pool creator knows that it shouldn't be in there), we can delete the pool.

May I inform you that the pool in question hasn't been discussed in the forum either?

pool #4788 - delicious thighs
curvy, full, voluptuous thighs. complimented nicely by curvy hips, a nice waist, short skirts and panties, though the focus is thighs. a mostly subjective pool.

seems like a favorites pool and not very different to the Hot/Perfect pools which are about to be nuked as discussed in forum #69115

pool #4639 - Touhou - Youkai Extermination Sanae
Way to take it too far.

Yokai extermination was one of Sanae's reasons for being a playable character in UFO. This led to a rash of images of her being evil or crazy and to a meme of her bullying Kogasa. All in contrast to the previous "good girl" meme.

While the pool needs a little cleanup (and more examples), many of the images that have text explicitly referring to youkai extermination, and it serves as a way of unifying a theme that is quite hard to tag as you've demonstrated. Oppose deletion.

It's ridiculous how every touhou character gets their own pool lately. (Aya even has 2, Yukari has 3)
Edit: Kyubey has 4 whole pools

Not a cause for concern, IMHO. Touhou makes up approximately 20-25% of the images on this site. It's got a fandom that spawns many memes, and keeping track of them is useful, especially when tags don't cut it.

Kyubey is just a memetic machine and earns his pools, IMHO.

Reminder (pools mentioned earlier that are still here for some reason):

pool #4169 - Touhou - The Yakumo Family
pool #4440 - Touhou - The Moriya Family

Support if and only if an effort is made to go through those pools and add appropriate images into Family Bonding, pool #2140.

pool #2459 - Panty & Stocking - In-Style Erotica

3 tag search. Not good for mortal users. Oppose deletion.

pool #4347 - Ears off!

Support deletion, but I'd like to see a tag replace it.

pool #4025 - Masturbating at the Computer

Weakly oppose. You could do a few overlapping 2-tag searches as a mere mortal user, but I think it unifies a theme pretty well, and it's not hard to tell what should or shouldn't go in it. I'd support it if computer_keyboard & computer_mouse both implicate computer.

I support deletion of the rest.
