Why not just fetch-booty?

Weird... So I was doing my Drupal module collecting for a project and stumbled upon "Fetchgals"

Fetchgals is a public domain webspider used to download and/ or display free content gathered from adult entertainment TGP sites (Thumbnail Gallery Posts). This module provides a user interface for the fetchgals package and automates the entire process. It also allows you to display the content gained right there on your own Drupal site.

Okay FTR I am pro-porn and all that. Until something like this comes up and makes me re-think how, and in what circumstances I can appreciate bootie on the web.

Mostly because as soon as I read the name and the description I was like "Eep! creepy programmer boys using Drupal for their porn collections" - and then felt like my own personal favorite of an Open Source CMS had just flipped over and shown me it's wormy underside.

To be frank, it's mostly the title, and the fact that the assumption that the type of porn one would want to see is ladies and probably comes from the most typical of skin-sites. I'd be totally behind a module titled "bootie-call" which allowed anyone to scrape the sites of their choice for free naughty pics.

But of course I am one of how many developers who are going to have such "radical" views about porno and I'd probably have much more success just saying - "Look, a module like that alienates girls 'cause we hate porn." That's not the objective truth that's silly propaghanda. The objective truth (for me anyways) is that a module like that is alienating because I don't want to feel like my gender is always the object of porn-searches and never presumed the searcher.

Bahhhhhhhhh.........( eyes roll grits teeth)
