I do not appreciate the top articles being posted on all of my open Jalop/oppo pages that display some article about a woman's breasts. Seriously, we just went through a huge ordeal about NSFW gif being blasted on Jezebel articles and the whole damned world turning upside down over there because of it. I come here for cars, and car related stuffs. keep the boobies off of my pages.

Have a gorgeous modded 911 gif for your time.

Nothing we can do about it.

What's wrong with NSFW as long as it contains a safety image?

I'm not loving it either.

That "Disney dude's dicks" article kept me off gawker as a whole for days (at least while at work)

Wholeheartedly agree, keep that shit off our sidebars!

I think you're forgetting this is still Gawker media ….

I do understand your frustration. Unfortunately, however, we can only influence what happens here in Oppositelock. It does get annoying, though.

There is no safety image on this one, in fact the thumbnail is woman with giant breasts spilling onto my open jalopnik tab. Makes me have to constantly keep a different tab open and I miss stuff from time to time, but it may end up helping my finish some documentation projects.

I agree, this crap doesn't need to be cross shared. If they want to have that stuff inside their site, it's different and i'm fine with it, but when it goes into everyone's sidebar they lose control over it.

The community as a whole has pretty much outgrown NSFW, and a ban on it has been put in place.

I opened jalopnik and then had to close it right away again, since I'm in class.

Professional-Journalistic Courtesy? From journo——bloggers, they are only bloggers, best that I remember that. Literally, away from the jalop/foxtrot alpha/oppo pages the other blogs on their media group are as unprofessional as that Rolling stone reporter running around shopping for a rape case to yellow journalism blast across the nation.

I'll jump around sometimes if I find an article interesting, but you certainly have some points there...

Exactly. It's my aversion to crap like this and commercials that steers me away from being a typical consumer. If marketing was more courteous to my individual character then I might end being a better consumer. (what their goal is for us all)

It's so sexist. We need to take the human anatomy out of consideration, particularly that of the female variant according to opposition, much the way Saudi Arabia has to become a bastion of inclusiveness and gender equality.

(I'm just kidding around, no offense to anyone on either side of the argument.)

Irresponsible as a whole. i love the freedom of information that the internet has given us, but the quality of that information is generally so low in this day and age that its worth is almost nil.

This is how I browse most of the time, but then I miss the sidebar stuff from Oppo/Jalopnik that might actually interest me.

Oh, you mean there are people who haven't element blocked that entire thing right out their web page?

I guess I'm glad I did. I originally only blocked it because it was just bothering me, but now I'm glad I did so I didn't get an accidental NSFW blast in the face.

Can you advise the rest of us on how to "element block" that portion in our chrome browser. Asking for a friend. lol

Couldn't/Shouldn't there be a way to block certain subsets of Gawker being shown on the sidebar? Like I'm pretty sure I wouldn't see much NSWF stuff from I09. Jez is a whole different story though. Or perhaps initiate a way to downvote a certain article from appearing? Like saying I don't like this and don't show it again?

A. You're still on a Gawker site.

B. Stop being a prude and just deal with it. It's the internet. Be prepared to see a picture of a dude stretching his asshole open at any time, without warning.

Hmmm. Well I use Firefox, and the Element Hider Helper add-on, but if you have Adblock Plus installed (not Adblock, I've never used that one) you should be able to manually add that web element to list of elements that you want to hide. You just have to get into the "Hide element" selection mode, hover over that element and make sure everything that you want to hide is highlighted, and then select it.

I wish, and I also wish I could do something about it. Oppo is the only world I have much a say in in the greater gawkerverse.

Nice thing about freedom, you can choose not to click it.

Since the change that Gawker made in the way they post to their site, you might be better off subscribing to their Gawker News RSS feed. It aggregates all of the sources of their content, and you don't have to click on their site at all unless there's something you want to read. Generally, though, Gawker is a cesspool.

Would love to flag your comment as useless, but sadly I do not have that option. My point is, whether I choose to open it or not, there is a thumbnail of a woman spilling her breasts out at the top left of all of my jalopnik tabs.

Aww, that's cute you resort to 9/11 defense. Freedom-Murica-diarrhea of the fingertips and brain!!!

If you utilized a very minimal amount of what you learned in primary school "Reading Comprehension" class, you would have read and understand that I am seeing this thumbnail of NSFW material without choosing to go to that article. In essence I am being sexually harassed by Gawker while trying to go about my daily routine of reading Jalopnik and Oppo articles.

R Saldana [|Oo|======|oO|] - BTC/ETH/LTC Prophet > ttyymmnn 01/14/2015 at 13:38

Agreed, but Gawkers top stories should be banned from posting NSFW thumbnails in association with their Top stories sidebar feed.

Yeah, I realized that's what you meant after I typed my reply. And I agree with you.

Nice generalization. You still have the freedom to not look at gawker content. Don't click on it and don't get harassed. Because you might get offended on something you choose to do we all have to be oppressed by it? Meh here's a tissue.

Your general lack of compassion purely based upon the aspect of "well, you chose to look at a Gawker site" truly saddens me. You simply cannot or willfully choose not to grasp the concept of safe space, or DMZ. The front page of Jalopnik, while full of colorful characters, articles, and language is no place to display a NSFW article. While I expect my users on my network to stay off NSFW posts and sites, I must hold myself to that same standard. Now before today I was unaware that I could use AB to block this element of the page and continue on my merry way reading about sucky Acura marketing, and Craigslist special this, and buy this former 125k car for as little as a Honda Fit and this morning nearly drew the ire of my superior for a thumbnail on the front page top left of Jalopnik.

I have lost my train of thought on this topic, baseline - you're an idiot.
