Or more often than not, some people like their wank material to have a bit of context.
I was reffering to stuff that tries to be emotional.

Nothing wrong with that either.

People like different things and something being "just porn" doesn't meant that it can't be (or at least try to be) emotional or romantic.

Honestly, we have people who like gay, furry, diaper porn and if you think that you have a reason to be outraged when it also tries to be emotional you have weird priorities.

Personally I think that as long as no one is getting harmed by it, it is ok. Even if it isn't my thing.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Some of us like plot with our porn. Personally I like an even mix of story and characterization to the actual sex acts.

Then again, I also enjoy reading stories where the sex/porn is just occasional thing and the focus is on other things. Pure porn without any kind of story isn't as enjoyable.

For example, I recently found a webcomic that has drama in steampunk Britain, robots, romance and sex, but it is not just some random people fucking each other.
...I think I know what you're talking about. Which scares me a little bit.

I wasn't really outraged as much as I was baffled by the decision. (You guys more or less just changed my views on the matter)

The comment came across a lot more angry than it was intended to.

I wasn't talking about Girl Genius though it is a nice comic as well.

There is no porn in any strip of Girl Genius.  Maybe people in Victorian style underwear but no outright porn.

Phil Foglio has drawn porn, the XXXenophile series was actually pretty good, but apart from few implications and people in underwear there is no adult stuff on the Girl Genius.

I've been idly thinking about a visual novel project I'd make if

- I could code worth a damn
- I could draw worth a damn
- I had the patience and/or self-confidence to take on a big project like that

It would be like a dating sim, except not really: there would be many important characters who each have a route, but not all of them would end in intimate sexy/romancytimes. The characters would include:

- A huge asshole who's always trying to dominate and be the alpha, you know what I mean. Lashes out at the world because they're physically frail and bitter at having been infantilized and thought of as just weak and cute and innocent all the time.

- Someone with a hero complex who's always going around helping others out of the goodness of their heart, but is oblivious to the fact that a lot of the time, their help isn't even needed or wanted. Has self-worth issues that they smother underneath a facade of "typical anime hero".

- Someone who's descended from a lineage with a really bad reputation, but is still a really nice and gentle person. Actually neurotically and borderline self-destructively nice and gentle precisely because of the hatred their lineage gets, along with their own self-hatred for being part of it.

- The charming flirt who hits on everyone; actually an aromantic asexual who thinks they're broken and overcompensates.

- An air-headed, absent-minded comic relief character who's picked on a lot but doesn't seem to mind. Actually hates being seen as nothing but a joke and craves to connect with someone on a real level (also the airheadedness and absent-mindedness are actual mental issues they're painfully self-aware about)

There would also be magic, and the main character would be an empath. This would be a gameplay mechanic.

Also everyone would be an animal, because SYMBOLISM!!1!

If you ever encounter a "mysterious space anomaly" or anything similar, be content to observe and study it from a distance, and possibly with unmanned probes. Do not, under any circumstances, fly your starship into the damn thing. That NEVER causes anything good to happen.

So I think one of the most insufferable things you can purchase in this goddess forsaken city is this weird amalgamation of drinks called a Hand Grenade. I have this increasing dislike of them cause during February drunken tourist come down here and drink it in the millions and make life horrid.
