Good day, /d/. I thought it was time we had a little talk. Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I'll begin.

As we all know, /d/ is the haven for any fetish that you should fancy. Of course you knew that. You wouldn't be here otherwise, yes? And being that this board is proud home of fetishes ranging from the mere taboo to the morally reprehensible, it is plain and obvious to all who come here that they will encounter material that may not suit their wishes, but hold enough common decency to respect their fellow mans preference without being judgemental. It is for this reason that most who frequent /d/ herald it as one of the more open minded boards on this site.
However, a recent thread caught my attention, some of you may have seen it. The thread started innocently enough, with the creator simply asking what fetishes the rest of the board harboured. However, it did not take long for a ridiculous flame war to erupt over one fellows preference for fart pictures. The opposing side argued that, though there was no explicit rule prohibiting said pictures, they were not welcome here, and I can attest to that being true.
Therein lies my question to you, /d/.

If /d/ truly stands as the most open minded of all fetish boards, why then the blatant hatred for something so simple as a farting fetish? As said more than enough times, who are we to judge? But judge we do, and judge unfairly I say. Do we lash out against them so vehemently because most of the material lacks the misogynistic qualities that /d/ seems to prefer? Or the outlandish nature of a girl with a penis? Is it the relation it bears with scat? Or is it simply too "real" a fact of life that it's impossible to understand the attraction to it?
I don't particularly enjoy or understand the fetish myself, but I don't enjoy or understand rape fetishism either, but I don't ridicule or insult those who do. Isn't that how the code of behaviour should be here? A code of tolerance?
Isn't that what makes /d/ what it is in the first place?

Holy crap, intelligent discussion on a porn board..

But seriously, /d/eviants can be very tolerant but also total douchebags. If what you post is something they don't like, then you get flamed and saged. But, if its a futa thread, no one messes with it. What's with the hipocrasy?

The answer is much simpler than the question you asked.

Most of the people visiting 4chan are social outcasts, because they are virgins for life, complete losers, and just incapable of meaningful communication.

The smaller part are more or less intelligent human beings, which understand the desires of their dark side. These individuals also show acceptance of the troubles of other individuals.

Or, the short version:

There are lots of idiots on 4chan, get used to it.

One explanation may be the shortage of quality farting pictures. 50% of the farting pictures that Ive seen on /d/ have been the "shopped fart gas" type pictures. I, personally, hate shopped fart pics, but don't mind pictures like>>171563

You make a valid point there, and of course I had learned that lesson the day I first came here, but that simply can't be the only answer in this situation. If it were, plenty of tentacle or what have you threads would be flamed just as often, but they aren't. As you can easily see, they're encouraged and valued.

That is very true too, the lack of quality pictures is lacking highly, and having seen some of the shopped pictures, I can understand someone having a distaste for them. However, I have seen whole threads of what as far as I could tell were authentic, unshopped pictures get saged to hell and back simply because of the material in question.

We're open minded towards fetishes that aren't fucking stupid.
