Feeling Risque?

We’ve been laying off of the Risque category lately do to various complaints. So, we are putting this up for a vote: Should we start beefing up the content and bring back Smut Sunday or let it slowly get silenced?

Sound off!


  • mark h

    So you really have become uneasily silent…

    (Post what you want – it’s your web page. People will complain regardless)

  • SMASH!!!!

    its yoru website…

  • John

    SMUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dylan

    Well, like Mark said, it is your website, so do with it what you desire . . .

    But, I’d rather you phase it out, it wasn’t really that interesting anyway . . .

  • http://www.uneasysilence.com Dan

    I know it is up to us, but I want to get a community feel because readers opinions matter :)

  • Roman

    It’s not like your forcing them to read any of it. GO!

  • http://klogged.wordpress.com Kyle

    silence the smut…leave it out

  • mark h

    Since you really want to know: bring it on. A couple more posts a week is better than a couple less. I already don’t read what appears to be boring (although that seems unlikely with these posts).

  • Finner

    Keep the risque. Its my favorite part.

  • http://formlessmountain.com Steve Self

    Do not be silenced by those of prudish sensibilities. Risque is good. Porn obviously not. The difference? Ah, well that is in the editor’s domain to choose. So I say go for it. Those that cannot abide the occasional nipple slip or skin-bearing hyjinks can go back to AOL for censored and totally safe content.

  • Tensenki

    I’m not leaving either way you decide. I’m a happy morally ambiguous atheist, but I know some Christians take that Sunday stuff pretty seriously… Smutty Monday-Saturday?Would that help?

    GO FOR IT!!!! Even though I do visit your site at work, and would suck if the site director walked by at the right moment, but I still say go for it!

    In the words of Tom Lehrer:

    Smut!
    Give me smut and nothing but!
    A dirty novel I can’t shut,
    If it’s uncut,
    and unsubt- le.

    Only if they are hot…

  • carl

    you can never have enough smut.. but really post it, slap a NSFW and let the readers decide, but make it available and give us the option to look at it.

  • alej744

    Keep the risque smutness, please

  • http://matrix2022.wordpress.com Carlos

    Bring it back.

  • biga

    id say bring it back. mark it as risque , but keep it.

  • http://thej2.com j2

    I don’t care what you post, but NSFWs would definitely be nice.

  • http://thej2.com j2

    (By which I meant ‘mark it nsfw kthx’.)

  • DangerousNerd

    If you do bring it back, please make it SFW or on a different feed than the regular stuff. I often read this through Thunderbird at work. Thanks!

  • http://www.donawilson.com/ Don Wilson

    Smut, please.

  • Henry

    All for it as long as everything is properly labeled. Just put anything which might be construed as NSFW after the jump.

  • Masta’ B

    risque articles are some of the most entertaining…bring it back – please!

  • emory

    bring it back! I’ve been reading thsi site since you guys FIRST started, it was one of my favorite posts, next to the political ones. Absoluetely bring it back!

  • mark

    i’ll be honest, the only reason i started reading uneasysilence was because of the risque.
    that french designer company that used porn for ads blew my mind. keep ‘em coming.

  • Tim

    Damn… i knew there was something i was missing… i could feel it inside me but i was unable to determine what it was until now…

    Bring it back… please?

  • Andre

    Some of the risque posts were awesome :D
    I say keep em coming

  • Mister Macphisto

    the internets is free to express your opinions.

    Bring it back because its is very…erm… interesting

  • Zach

    It’s called “risque” for a reason..people don’t have to look at it if they don’t want to.

  • Justin

    I personally don’t think it’s necessary. I mean if people are dying for risque, wouldn’t you agree they’d find it on their own? They don’t need UES telling them porns out there go scoop it up.

    With that said, if you do bring it back, just NO even remotely risque pics please =j

  • Sam

    Bring it back.

    The practice of self-censoring because of complaints is a slippery slope. What will someone want you to remove next?

    The internet is inherently not a ‘rated’ environment. Why go out of your way to pretend that it is? Tag any objectionable items as such for the prudes, but don’t deny the rest of your readership access to interesting content based on the narrow sensibilities of the few.

  • http://www.alifelessordinary.com/ Thomas J. Brown

    Risque is okay!

    If someone doesn’t want to read the story, they can just skip it.

  • rick

    @justin
    but see if i want porn ill find porn. but im not asking for it, i want UES articles, i like this site and the topics and the things it finds interesting becuase i do too. and UES risque stuff would be interesting makes my life easier, i could scour the internet for these articles but they find it a lot easier then i could and i i like UES take on things and writing. So bring it back and if you dont like it dont read it simple really.
    and just an idea why dont you post some stuff and see its traffic compared to other articles, if its getting a fair amount of hits it seems like the people want it and you should keep it and it out ways the complaints.

  • blot0

    bring back the smut.. always good for a laugh and brighten the day :)

  • http://HawaiiFoodTours.com Matthew Gray

    Don’t bend to pressure of censorship. Grow some balls and do exactly what you want to do.

  • Dale Baker

    Lehrer was right. “I’ve never quibbled if it was ribald. . .Let’s hear it for the Supreme Court.”

  • hh

    I love sUmt.

  • Matt H

    keep it

  • Kevin

    fo sho

  • Ryan

    i come here and the superficial. give me more reasons to come here.

  • Lisa

    @justin
    “With that said, if you do bring it back, just NO even remotely risque pics please =j”

    is it possible to have risque without pictures?
    what would be the point???

  • http://gnostinews.com Earl

    Bring it back, continue, label it properly, no problem…

  • http://ruleofone.com Adam C.

    Never bothered me. Keep it coming.

  • chad

    why don’t we put it on the “AVN version” that we launched a couple months back?

  • http://- Tsar

    keep…

  • Kevin Lee

    If you put it on the side it’ll die out. I for one wouldn’t want to check two sites (too many bookmarks get annoying). Perhaps you could color code NFSW posts for those who don’t want to read them.

  • Cruise

    I like it, so i say bring it back

  • http://www.theappleblog.com Richard Neal

    What if you put the content of the posts behind the [more] tag, and put NSFW in the titles, so people who don’t want to see don’t got nothing to worry about it, and those of us surfing with one hand can have all the fun they need.

  • Steven

    Beef up the content and give us some smut! I mean it is UNEASYsilence right? Make us UNEASY!

  • http://www.uneasysilence.com Dan

    Thats a cool compromise chad for the REALLY risque stuff.

    If you look in the category you’ll find it is really clean.

    Should we do an AVN style site, like we did before?

  • Scott

    Some of us like to browse the site with family around. Risque out please.

  • Martin

    If you have sponsors, you should consider if they are happy – and will they continue their support if it gets out of hand.

  • Chase

    RETAIN!

  • Enrique

    Bring it back!

  • Laz0r

    Bring it back!

  • ravi

    Bring it back…wait theres an AVN version of uneasysilence???

  • http://chrischaeffer.com chriSchaeffer

    If you bring it back, put it inside the “Jump” so it won’t show up unless the reader clicks further.

  • H. Keely

    Please leave it off of the website.

  • Jed

    Well it’s not like you’re posting porn. Honestly I get a little disappointed when I open up a “risque” story and don’t see any nipples.

  • chad

    ahem…

    “the internet is FOR porn” ;)

  • 5tifler

    Like some up there said before… The more posts the better. I enjoy reading funny junk like that so.. Bring it on!
    At the end of the day, make your total, and im sure there will be way more positive points then negative! SMUT for everyone!!!!

  • Justin

    I didn’t expect to be quoted on my comments, but since the majority like stuff like that, go ahead make a AVN version. That was a little more tolerable

  • anonx

    the crowd has spoken… bring it back.

  • Carlos

    I thought this place was called Uneasy Silence for a reason. Do you speak the unspeakable regardless of who might be offended? or do you censor what you say and cease to be Uneasy Silence? In which case you should call this site something like CNN or Fox News or WCTAN (We Cater To A ‘Majority’ News Site). What was the original idea of having a site like this? Do you have a Statement Of Purpose? If so, go back and revisit it. If not, you should write one. If you want to censor your self base on what your readers complain about then you’re doing that original idea a complete disservice. Readers come and go, but they started coming here for a good reason and I’m sure it wasn’t because you censored your site.

  • Tyler Lynch

    I used to get great porn links from the forums. I miss that. I say bring it back, those who don’t want to look, don’t have to look.

    Bring it on (anything but animals, kids and blood is fair game)!

  • Dan

    Bring it back! No political correctness on Uneasy!

  • god

    bring sexy back

  • http://www.schildkroeter.de Jon

    come on guys this is the internets! give us porn ;)

  • Gaianna

    smut sunday

  • chad

    @Carlos

    amen brother…. Dan… lets porn it up!… fuck the masses!

    [readers we still love you, I'm just feeling all revolutionary and shit] ;)

  • John

    so im ashamed for Chad not realizing he was the 69th post….hehehehe

  • Roy

    bring the smut, please.

  • Bob Jackson

    Are we adults? Run it, if i dont like it, I have a ‘delete’ button. For those who disagree, grow up of get a decent browser.
