User:Dronebogus/Userboxes/CBT[edit]

Per WP:UP#NOT, you may not include in your user space material that is likely to bring the project into disrepute. I don't see any point to this userbox other than obnoxious puerile humour that's better suited to a site like 4chan or Reddit. Spicy (talk) 10:55, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. This isn't puerile jokes, and definitely won't bring the project into disrepute. It is literally just a copy of the first paragraph of an article. Neo-corelight (Talk) 12:09, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- But what's the point of taking that paragraph and sticking it in a userbox other than to say "ha ha, cocks"? Spicy (talk) 12:24, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  Nothing. But this is someone's userpage and you need better reason other than "I don't like it". Neo-corelight (Talk) 12:27, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It’s a meme. There’s a whole account Twitter account dedicated to just posting random excerpts. Copypasta-ing the first paragraph of the CBT article in weird places is a common joke due to its oddness and awkward subject matter. If you don’t get the reference I can see why it comes across as puerile trolling. Dronebogus (talk) 18:00, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- That said I replaced it with a more innocuous userbox representing the copypasta meme (that just uses the article on the subject) so I don’t really care what you do with this one. I was just trying to make a silly reference to an infamous bit of WP but if nobody gets it then it isn’t funny. Dronebogus (talk) 18:24, 12 January 2022 (UTC*
Neutral - I guess I'm just having a hard time trying to figure out what the point of this userbox is. Wikipedia as a medium, due to its exceptionally wide demographics, doesn't lend itself well to dumb copypasta memes that you commonly see on filth-breeding grounds like Discord or 4chan. --WaltCip-(talk) 13:51, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Funny meme (I remember seeing the Lego Yoda one a while back) but going to have to !vote delete because sexually explicit BDSM stuff on userpages is likely to make a lot of people uncomfortable given the strong association with sexual violence inherent to that, even if the userbox is done in a joking manner/not intended to be taken seriously. Though we did end up keeping an unironic tit torture userbox at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Biofase/Userboxes/Hurt you, so if this gets deleted we may need to re-evaluate other userboxes as well.

- Yeah I don’t have a problem with people just stating what they like in general terms but that ubx goes too far. Dronebogus (talk) 00:24, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I think that I am tolerant, and I agree that Wikipedia is not censored, but there is such a thing as a disgust factor. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:15, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
