Have you tried turning it off and on again? Though seriously it looks like the rating script is not working in your browser, so the link defaults back to that brofist rating page. Try in a different browser maybe or clear your cache. Something like uBlock is the main suspect though.

OK. Cleared cookies and cache, logged back in and the popup list is back as normal. Bizarre.

Everytime I read the "Entertainment is Dead" thread, I wish for a "Cunt" button. While "Begone Thot" is a decent substitute, not all cunts are hoes which limits the application of it. And I think it would also be useful for the forum as a whole e.g. to inform other users that they currently engage in cunty behaviour.

I have four ideas for the look:

1. A portrait of German philosopher Immanuel Kant (because his name pronounced in German sounds the same as the English word "cunt")
2. A stylised form of the letter "C"
3. A taco as its shape is generally considered to be similar to that of a vagina / cunt
4. A portrait of a person generally accepted to be a cunt

I personally prefer option one but all would be acceptable. Oracscube thoughts?

I must admit Tarkleigh brah I have been thinking the same thing, although I only occasionally use the word myself.

My thoughts on the suggestions..

1. Seeing lots of little Immanuel Kants everywhere would certainly send a powerful message the Codex was a deeply philosophical and cultured platform.
2. Not sure a C is cunty enough
3. I believe this could be seen as racist and I wouldn't want to be associated with that.
4. Until just recently I would have said Pete Hines, but with his recent demise he will soon be forgotten.

Roast beef

Now our supreme overlords DarkUnderlord suggestion of roast beef or beef curtains has considerable merit.

For those unaware
Beef curtains is vulgar slang for the vulva.
It’s typically used for vaginal lips that are … particularly pronounced.

For instance the writer, Lottie Lomas (whoever she is), humorously described her post-childbirth vagina as beef curtains
“My labia or ‘beef curtains’ (as one boyfriend fondly called them..how many boyfriends have you had you slut?) drooped so far between my legs that they could have really done with their own bra to hold them in.”

However the button design (if it was implemented) would be horrific..unless of course someone could do an artistic, lovable interpretation.

I'm rather partial to some tiny variation of this picture with the description of "CUNT!":

How big should a button be? I resized this portrait and converted it to png:

Looks quite classy, but I'm sure someone with actual graphic design skills can do a better job.

I quite like this idea. I was originally thinking of this portrait but this one looks very classy, indeed. It might need some minor changes so the face looks clearer but I am hoping one of the other members can help with this. And it would definitely help to have clear specifications for the button (size, format etc.), maybe one of the admis could provide these.

Also, thanks to the others for their ideas. I think options 1 and 3 are the most promising right now. While I like the roast beef idea, I agree with Oracscube that the visual design of such a button would be horrifying. The fish taco from mediocrepoet is also good, even though it does not really look like a vagina. I tried to find some comic tacos that are correctly positioned to look suggestive but that turns out harder than I thought. Seems like most people avoid that for some reason

What do you guys think about the button text? Obviously, the simplest solution would be "Cunt" or "Cunt!" but if we go with the philosopher I could also imagine using "Kant" instead for some extra sophistication.

"Kant!" strikes me as funny.

Thanks, looks great. And Clinton is a great option for a person generally considered a cunt. I would prefer Kant but we can keep her as a fall-back.

As you probably will be rated quite often with this button, what is your opinion on the text? Kant! if we go with the philosopher or is this too confusing? With or without exclamation point?

If (and it's probably a big IF) the button was instituted I prefer the little philosopher Kant
The text one was just a concept, it needs experimentation with different fonts and backgrounds.

Reminds more of goatse than (a) cunt.

Isn't Kitty rating the same?

It is. But the imagination of current year 'dexers is at an all-time-low

Inspired by Oracscube I made two more iterations of the Kant button:

no background, 22x22

original design but with back ground removed

simplified version by Oracscube added for comparison.
I think the first version is best. What do you guys think? Caption should be "Kant!".

 

[Caim]

Eh, too obscure.

Great work, thanks. I like both your new iteration and the one from Oracscube. Both would be fine as an option. With this work done, I think all that is left is formally requesting the button.

DarkUnderlord I beseech you, please take either
