shinken said:Dude, the word creampie was (presumably) used figuratively to describe the model. That's the context. The model happens to be a female at that. Someone point out another figurative meaning that's demeaning. Why are you fighting so hard to defend the innocence of the word? The negative connotation of the word exists, regardless of what you say. To some people, it's innocent. To some people, it's demeaning. That's reality. If you care enough about the model's image and the image of the shoot, then consider the feelings of those who found it demeaning. If you don't care for the image of the model and the shoot in these people's (who know the 'other' meaning for creampie) eyes, then just ignore them.
Btw, it is not my fault that I know the derogatory meaning for creampie, and and that I was immediately offended by the thread title. But wat the heck, offence isn't intended, so there's no offence?
Dude, embracing negative connotation is miles and worlds different from being sensitive to others from being associated with one.fattyboonboon said:Dude, read thread #15.
From what you wrote, it appears to me that you realize while some understand the negative connotation, some do not necessary embrace it? Is that what you meant?
Now, imagine if the portion of the people that embrace the negative conntation insist to take down a thread with the title Creampie, with total disregard to those who do not share their opinion. And that is fine?
Like i said in #15, i dont really care what your opinion. I am sure you dont care about mine. But a certain group find a need to assert their opinion on others, so i just happily do likewise.

1) Yeah my mom loves to do that to me. But can I say no to her? :bsmilie:
2) Where`s option C? There is no mistake in the title, it is totally acceptable and there is only a group of people making a mountain out of a freaking "creampie". :nono:
Jeez what is the commotion over a freaking word? It can refer to ladies decently, some use it on their GFs(seen/heard while in college), internet porn sites and RA jokes on the web. So which version are you going to use is up to you.

I totally disagree with you on this .... i think boonboon writes well and has a good command and a good grasp of the English language .... At least for me, i enjoy his words ...:thumbsup: I think this pt 3 is hitting below the belt...:nono:Wisp said:3)Honestly, you're use of finesse and flowery words to weave your subtle verbal dodging in and out is getting everybody on their nerves. It gives the impression that you're a hoity toity 'finger in the air' intellectual who just wants to get his way.
fattyboonboon said:Ok i am going to play cheat and fast forward to some later posts.
Did i say i was the one getting lynched? Nope. In fact, point it out where i said that i was getting bullied by other members, and i will say you are correct.
You want to come into the debate, at least have the common senseto read what your opponent wrote.
Wisp said:I didn't know about that thread until eiks pointed it out to me. Ignorance is, or was rather, bliss, as they say.
*Chuckle* As to fattyboonboon, I'm terribly amused by what you said. Yes I have a dirty mind, and yes I'm partial to the opposite sex.
Yes I'm vulgar, to the point. And yes I 'm pretty blunt so a point when I look back I felt I went too far (the deadpoet saga is one of those).
And yes, I did think you were abit of a congenital half wit. However after this thread you changed my mind! You convinced me you're a fully fledged one at that!
Alright, I'd be more realistic. You're not a congenital halfwit. I simply think you have a big ego that you see a need to patch up.
However I believe idiots won't become idiots for long. Some of them even became smarter than me =/. So I'm willing to take my words back if you decide to go along that path.
I simply couldn't believe it when I saw this..in fact I'm not gonna refute you at all. If ya believe you're right and have a need for a public debate (though it's more like washing dirty linen) go right ahead! I don't have the stellar results in my O level english, I'm from a polytechnic and plus I'm an engineering university student! I simply couldn't argue with you (or qualified) to argue with you in any sort of way since my 'formal' english vocabulary isn't that extrapolative enough!
I was just simply trying to point out that people may view the word in another manner and warn the thread starter as so.
And hey doc, how many admirers have you been garnering lately!?!? *Ponders whether purchase a bunch of books for you to autograph for CS-ers when he comes back in July next year*

fattyboonboon said:Wisp, you are finally here.
I do not agree with what you say in the 2nd and 3rd statements, nor did i ever claim that you are. But if that is your opinion, it is not right for me to try to force you to change it.
However, i have to say, i am disappointed with you. I stated right at the start to keep this civilised and intelligent, but you resorted to mud-slinging like a 15 yr old on some gaming forum? If there is anything i learn from those forums, is that mud-slinging has a miraculous, undefined tracjectory of having the mud land right back at your own face.
So you went from exerting your personal idea that Creampie is a porn word, to exerting your idea that i am a congenital half-wit (going to a full wit) and an idiot onto me now? You really cant take the fact that there is a differing opinion outside of your own isnt it?
You didnt have stellar results for 'O' level, i FAILED my english in 'A' levels.
Polytechnic student? Engineering student? What has that got to do with anything? Are you implying that they naturally have poor english?
While i do admit that some of my students are struggling with english, there are those who actually do excel in that. I do not agree with the generalization that all poly or engineering students have weak english, and i have no intention of propagating that false stereotype.
So you want to continue with your mud-slinging while hiding behind your poor english? Since you keep insisting that your english is holding you back, come, let me help you. I will suggest a few words for you and you are welcome to sling it at me.
Pompous, Bigot, Moron, Dolt, Jerk, Skunk, Egghead, Imbecile, Dork, Jackass, and do you want to include "Creampie" too?
Haha, i am not a fanboy of Doc. I am merely greeting my opponent, which is common courtesy among competitions or debates. I am just acknowledging that we have met before and his kindness for showing me his equipment. I believe that helps to control the atmosphere and keep everyone's cool. Not too sure about coming in gun-totting and mud slinging though.
If you want to insist i am a fanboy, i think i am more of a fan of Mattlock's works and another photographer here(who has not appeared in this thread so i shall leave him out). Not that doc is not good, but it is all down to personal taste. So no offence to anyone.
