[Discussion] "Foid worship" avatars should either be allowed or entirely banned.
I've never understood why avatars of scantily glad anime foids aren't considered "foid worship" when avatars of actual foids are.
One might argue that by adopting a foid's image as a profile picture, I would be pedestalizing that particular foid. However, it is my understanding that the "foid worship" rule also applies to a photorealistic or digitally manipulated image. In essence, I would violate forum rules by adopting an avatar of a foid that doesn't necessarily exist, if it is indistinguishable from an actual foid.
This leads me to surmise that the original intent of the "foid worship" rule is not to deter the worship of any one particular foid, but to deter the worship of the visual aspects of femininity in general.
In that case, I see no reason to allow avatars of so-called "2D foids", which depict and in some cases exaggerate the physical traits of conventionally attractive femoids.
I just find the rule rather inconsistent.
