      Hey All

      Can someone please point me to the section where the definition of what is considered acceptable in the "gay themed" category is ?

      I read it once a long time ago but the forum search is erroring for me

      Also - is there a way we can post this definition somewhere so people see it if they try to upload in that category?

      80-90% of my downloads are from there and lately it just seems to be getting full of stuff that is not gay themed at all

      1 example is apparently the logic is if gay men like erections or nice butts and we see one is in a mainstream hetero film then it must be ok to be gay themed? I find this hard to believe - since then we could upload 1000s of movies that really probably shouldn't be there

      much thanks in advance

        See #6 in Uploading Rules:

        All non-porn material must be LGBTQ themed by its main plot and characters or contain a recurring LBGTQ subplot. Gay-interest, an openly gay actor or minor gay references are insufficient to meet this requirement. Also acceptable are non-porn films involving voyeurism of the adult male physique. Examples of voyeuristic material include bodybuilding, wrestling and underwear/swimwear.

            There is some leeway in this.

            As an example (just making it up); if there is a TV show that normally does not fit the rules, but they have a special event, like a gay wedding, you can upload that episode or group of episodes, but not the entire show.

            Also, every Theme video upload must include language and subs information.

              Thanks for the clarification to you both

              Totally understand Raph.. I think where i see the most "huh?" moments in what people upload is they interpret the voyeurism as meaning they can upload a movie just based on some just frontal nudity or sexy cast members always topless and stuff like that or some vague interpretation of "homoerotic" that is such a stretch it makes you cringe

              I interpret, the voyeurism part, as things like a modelling shoot of underwear or a taping of a Muscle Bulding competition etc

                I was browsing down through the themed film section yesterday after reading your post and they pretty much all looked very gay themed to me.  For the television shows, it wasn't so obvious one way or another.

                If you see torrents that violate the rules, click the button and report them.

                    Please do link to a few, if you will.  The uploaders are anonymous, anyway.  I'm curious about it, too, especially in a situation in which a film might have no overtly gay content but is an allegory of gay experience or has been analyzed by academics in the field of queer theory.  Would Michelangelo's works qualify as gay themed?

                      I think they might have already been taken down. I also reported a few over the past couple of days.

                        Do you remember what any of them were?

                          There was the new movie 1917 and also Aladdin.

                          But an example and others might disagree is a Madonna Concert.

                            This is one.. its basically a straight mainstream non porn movie with nude men

                            A Madonna concert posted 2x (different formats)  (1 of like 3 madonna concernt ive seen in thr last few days )

                            This one even says "Hurry Up" - like they know it wil get taken down

                            The below has a scene of an erect penis

                            Looks like some others I spotted had been taken down or I missed them (I looked for them while my morning coffee brewed :))

                            To answer your Michelangelo question - A movie about his life where his character is gay (like he was) would obviously be ok but a documentary solely focused on his work.. i don't know.. i'd say no.. but others may interpret it differently  BUT if the documentary was about his life AND his works that had those particular academics discussing things from a queer perspective then i'd say yes.. its a fine line & ive seen debates in comments that would get you thinking

                            The rules seem open to interpretation to some - in my mind they are pretty straightforward but then that may be my interpretation - see what i mean?

                              I personally think Madonna is a no but i can see that could open a whole debate (I just don't think a gay icon is enough to be intrepreted as following the rules)

                              If they allow Madonna (except "The Next Best Thing" - her gay themed movie)  then we could have Barbra Streisand Movies all over the site or a 100gb judy garland file of all of her work etc

                                Yeah, Madonna, then Barbra, then Judy, then you can't stop people from uploading Betty or Joan.  Next thing you know, it's Dolly and Cher.  Then look out, here comes Tammy Faye, and it's all downhill from there.

                                I looked at all the examples Dene and leeniedo gave and agree that none of them are really gay themed by the site's definition, as far as I can tell.

                                  Personally, I have no problem with "Judy" being posted as it's her biography.  However, as much as I liker her movies, especially the B&W ones, I don't want them on here.

                                  If the site owner ever decides to start a non-porn site, then we can have the best of both worlds.  Don't hold your breath though since he's really busy.
