Stay with me here.

/c/pornporn, but it's SFW.

You lost me

But the word shit is ok? Classic lemmyshitpornpost

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

will it be:

  • high-quality tasteful images of people uploading terrible garbage memes in a non-sexual manner
  • sexually explicit images of people uploading terrible garbage memes
  • plain ol scat

the possibilities are endless

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Literal scat porn, but turned into relatable memes. Like.... 2girls1cup, captioned with "life be like."

One Man, One Jar

“That moment when…”

[–] plenipotentprotogod@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I remember reading a comment a while ago (on Reddit, ironically) which pointed out that SFW subreddits naming themselves [subject]porn are borrowing the wrong part from the word "pornography". "Porn" is from greek pornē meaning "prostitute", but the suffix -graphy means "to write" and is often used to indicate "the study of" the thing it's attached to (e.g. geography, cryptography, demography, etc.)

It would be more accurate, and perhaps less controversial, if these communities named themselves earthography, spaceography, unixograpy, etc. As an added bonus, the -grapy suffix is also prominent in "photography" which is appropriate considering that many of these communities are places where people share photos of the subject matter.

[–] Tranus@programming.dev 40 points 11 months ago

I think you're missing the point of the -porn suffix. Its not supposed to convey "the study of" or "images of". Its meant to convey that viewing it is satisfying in some primitive/emotional/aesthetic way. NaturePorn isn't just "pictures of nature", it's "pictures of nature that suck me in and make me want to see more". In that regard, the comparison to sex is intentional.

JusticePorn is definitely not a study on justice

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

We need an Astrography community

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 22 points 11 months ago (7 children)

It's not exactly comedy. What do you want us to call Earth porn? ”Reallyprettypicturesofearthbutwithoutanyhumancreations"?

[–] DJSpunTheDisc@lemm.ee 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good point, but can't most of them replace "porn" with, pic, or, art, work or pictures?

  • c/EarthPics
  • c/UnixArt
  • c/RetroArt

"Does PornPics exist?"

[–] 50_centavos@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Literally anything else. Earthpics, coolearthpics, globescope, naturerama, third planet...that was just 5 seconds of thinking. Using the word porn for everything just lacks creativity.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

naturephotography too wordy for you?

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

EarthPorn is typically exclusive of animal pictures though from what I've seen.

EarthPixels

[–] fiat_lux@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is there something about the word "porn" that actually communicates "really pretty pictures of something but without any human creations" beyond its Reddit meme usage? Because it doesn't for most people.

Also, not all community rules and objectives need to be in the name and URL. The word "porn" in URLs is problematic for users sitting behind state or corporate internet connection though. Be kind to your local network administrators!

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 15 points 11 months ago

Yes. This usage originated well before reddit. "Car porn", "gun porn," "disaster porn."

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Porn in the sense of something that is the sort of over the top example of a thing that elicits an almost aroused response. Like a gratuitous picture of food would be considered FoodPorn. Or like 2 perfectly machined pieces of metal fitting together perfectly would be EngineeringPorn.

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm up voting this because I hope it gets a better answer than earthporn, in spite of the apparent bad faith rhetorical question.
