People assume bad things about NG..

[zero-gravity]

No joke. This was the conversation i had today:

Me: Hey, I found this awesome thing on Newgrounds today-

Person1: Why were you looking at hentei?

Me: Who said i was looking at Hentei?

Person2: That site has a bunch of hentei on it man.

Me: No, that is just like the back page. It is really out of the way.

P1: What are you talking about? That site is for creeps and perverts. *laughter*

Me: No, it is a site for flash animation and stuff like that-

P2: Yea, animation of pokemon hentei and creepy shit like that.

Me: No it-

P1: Everyone on there is like a 40 year old perve.

P2: Dude your disgusting, you probably jack off to that kinda shit when you get home

-bombarded by more insults-

Where the hell do these people get these ideas? No seriously how did NG get such a terrible reputation? Yea we have hentei on here BIG FUCKING DEAL. That is only like 10% of the site. But besides that why do people frown upon NG?

[KillerCRS]

what

[TiiBag]

Most of my friends think NG is a porn site. Don't think they're even aware that it has a forum.

[Preternatural]

Dude, you go on Facebook and MySpace? Those sites are for faggots, wiggers, FBI agents and pedophiles.

[grand-master-ramrod]

fortunately most of my friends are sensible and mature nerds and realise that newgrounds has a lot more to offer.... such as salad fingers

Couldn't be further from the truth.

My school blocked NG because of: "Porn, mature content"
Bull shit.

[Darknessium]

Its because they're human, and humans are stupid by nature.

[TehHood]

My friends don't know what Newgrounds is! So, when I say I go on Newgrounds they ask whats that, a game?

[Jesus-Owns-X]

People also assume bad things about 4chan and other sites what new?

[alternativesolution]

I say, blame the people who upload those flashed. You have a problem with it, go take it up with them.
This is probably just going to get bombarded with insults, too.
It's funny, though.. nobody really knows about this site where I live.

Image base full of porn, and where most memes begin.

[sokrky]

It has a bad reputation for creating mayhem, but in the end its the same problem found ITT

Most people here aren't even 20 years old most of the time.

5% (or lower) of the site is porn (good porn not shity spam porn) 50% goes to spam flashes which have nothing in them, really.

I don't get how people hate NG so much don't they see the other tabs besides the small "mature" tab, I mean seriously those people you were talking to are dipshits.

It's like bashing myspace it is not that bad, but there's hackers, pevs, dumb people, and fakes. Still severs as a social site but a risky one at that...

Also I was surpised to hear that the reason they hate NG is because of porn, seriously don't they like it?

Thanks. You just assumed the same thing about 4chan as zero-gravity's friends did to Newgrounds.

For a full view of what 4chan really is, visit the homepage and visit a board that peaks your interest.

Make sure to read the Global and specific rules and the disclosure for the boards that permit pornography.

[Atgod88]

Yeah, it does have a bad rep because of the "Mature" section and because thats what people know it for, they dont care about animation, they just want some porn.

My school blocks newgrounds, not for porn, but for "Intolerance & Hate."

You spelled Hentai wrong, multiple times.

[Sekhem]

i remember a kid a while back in architecture class said his pastor told him newgrounds was a bad site

i was playing games there, i would never bring up this terrible place in real life otherwise

[ZagmenO]

What's worse than hentai, by most standards, is shooting celebrities left & right. I'm cool with all that, but the majority would say cartoonie porn is not as bad as violence in terms of...wrongness. (Words fail me today.)

LOL are you serious. They must be familiar with the General forum.

Shows how much i don't watch it.

Also, some things ARE true about 4chan what you people are arguing about. MOST memes come from 4chan and i have seen porn in the /b/ before.

[Some-Stupid-Idiot]

Some of my friends know what NG is but they don't assume things like that about it. A few of my friends go on but none of them are regulars. I'm the only one in my whole school who regularly visits this site. The rest are either Myspace fags or they just don't know how to use a computer.

[hatakekakashi7]

All of my friends that know about Newgrounds like the site. Not once have I heard complaints about the site being perverse or anything like that. My school also blocks NG. =/ Probably because of violence and explicit content like swearing and stuff. I don't usually have time to go on the computer for fun at school anyways.

[Cthulhu1988]

Well... this just displays how ignorant some people can be....

Not really, after all hentai ads until pretty recently were the primary ad revenue for this site and the mature section is probably the most visited section of the site(also take a look at the most popular flashes).

If you actually took some time to read the rules set on 4chan and the many disclaimers, you would have found that 4chan is for people 18+ and that /b/ is one of the few adult boards.

I wouldn't be surprised if you got grounded for going to the art forum on newgrounds. It permits art related pornography fyi.

[whatty]

The sad thing is that NG is most of those things.
I'm even forty and a pervert!

[Cloudcow]

Hentai is a BAD thing?

Since when?
