[poll] Pics of attractive women or pics from horror movies?

m03da · 2024-09-28T15:50:30.380Z

Should the time-honoured greeting style change, changing it to match assumed straight preference makes it overtly sexual as opposed to each user getting the same category of image. User’s gender, even if disclosed, does not inform their preference.

That said, I don’t think there is an expectation to be presented with sexually attractive content upon signing up for a light forum, the best, most inclusive greeting should be something non-sexual. Cute animals, gorgeous landscapes, impressive feats of engineering, or indeed very cool lights, there’s so much non-sexually attractive imagery to choose from.

Or we can post horrible men pictures too, like in horror movies but with real horrible face? Something like halloween funny pictures, with really horrible natural face? That could be funny

john33 · 2024-09-28T15:59:18.842Z

To be really inclusive, we should not discriminate ugly faces. Let’s welcome new members with unusual sexy people

Just do not use the photo of the 50 foot woman, I went out with her once and well, frankly, I felt a little inadequate.

m03da · 2024-09-28T16:22:31.693Z

What’s your fixation with calling people ugly?

john33 · 2024-09-28T16:43:11.456Z

I just saw the survey results, 21% would like to see horrible pictures instead of always the same sexy girls, even Racoon get bored, so I was thinking we can post real horrible face instead of just the ones from horrible movie?

I am okey to post beautiful faces too, if the horrible ones are really too horrible.

Also, to always show beautiful girls is maybe not fair to ugly girls or guys. It’s like discriminating ugly people from “Welcoming on the forum”(?)

Inclusion is very important, I think… 21% is a lot of people too, we should consider that minority as part of the majority, to be equally fair with everybody?

How 'bout pics of iconic people? M/F either way. People, beautiful or not whom have contributed to the human condition in positive ways. Parts is parts…

m03da · 2024-09-28T16:53:03.944Z

Cool. Not what I’m asking though…

Valynor · 2024-09-28T16:58:22.624Z

I would be for posting welcome pics that are flashlight/illumination related only.
Cool movie scenes with flashlights in them or the like.

brad · 2024-09-28T17:54:15.112Z

There are enough flashlight movie scenes that they could be a goldmine of interesting and classy photos.

We just could ask ChatGPT about this

Valynor · 2024-09-28T18:52:06.148Z

I am open to different ideas for greeting pics.

those movie ideas from Valynor were good.
here are three other ideas:

cartoon characters.
outer space anything.
optical illusions.

DaleC · 2024-09-28T20:55:53.685Z

Stupid idea I know but how’s about posting a scrambled up pic so we could try and guess who or what it is or some spot the hidden type ones just for a bit of fun? Yeah I did say stupid idea as it could end up flooding the posts but could also lead to a bit more interaction on the forum.

brad · 2024-09-28T21:12:56.379Z

That would step on and takeover the new guy’s post.

Muto · 2024-09-28T21:19:04.153Z

Batman beam shot with new members name on the building it is being projected upon.

Personalized Batman beam shot of some sort.

Agreed 100%. The pictures of women for new posters are pretty cringe (and not in the good way).

I’ll second the Landscape or Engineering picture idea.

I agree. This is a flashlight forum so at least keep it at least loosely lighting related. Came up with a couple suggestions let me know what everyone thinks:

Im all for movie scenes with flashlights in use. There is a lot of them and can also be from any genre, especially common in horror.

Another good idea is pictures of impressive flashlight beamshots, even if they are edited or exaggerated looking, they are still cool and tie in with outer space if the night sky/ galaxy is visible

I also really enjoyed the attractive flashlight idea which someone suggested. There is plenty of cool/rare/popular/expensive/powerful lights that would be suitable to use in a greeting photo.

Or pix of different types of cheeses.

Wedges, wheels, cheese-platters, slices, on crackers, shredded, grated, etc.

Cheezapalooza!

Not a bad idea…
The reason I prefer to post pics of people, especially pics of people looking directly into the camera, is that most (if not all) BLF members are people, and I believe that people relate to pics of people in a way that they don’t for other types of pics.
It’s a “human connection,” if you will.
And, yes, I’m joking about some BLF members not being people.
I am not aware of intelligent life on Earth that can access the internet, other than people.
Hmm… maybe primates?
