I remember printing this stuff out as a teenager because I thought it was funny... And getting in trouble for it.

Then you would have loved the HyperCard Smut Stack, the first commercial HyperCard stack ever released! I've begged Chuck to dig around to see if he has an old copy of the floppy lying around and upload it, but so far I don't know of a copy online you can run. Its bold pioneering balance of art and slease deserves preservation, and the story behind it is hilarious. Edit: OMG I've just found the Geraldo episode with C…
That Geraldo episode has me rolling, thanks for the share.
I love the way Chuck holds his smirk throughout the entire interview. And Geraldo's reply to his comment:
"I was a fulfillment house for orders."
"That sounds sexual in itself! What was a fulfilment house?"

Most of those are solved with wrapping it in both and , and #5 I don't think is even part of "ASCII art" anymore as it wouldn't be just ASCII anymore, but rich-text.
What do you mean? Add far as I know doesn't help with any of those? Color is very much a part of ASCII art, if we consider ASCII to mean a broader range of different technologies. Just check the stuff in the article, or the stuff on https://16colo.rs/ site.

#84I actuallly prefer this over the stuff they have now. It’s part art, part sleaze

Different cultures each have their own standards for what is and is not considered offensive, and each culture thinks that its standards are correct. That isn't hypocrisy, it's just how this whole topic works. There are no two human cultures in history which have entirely agreed on what is and isn't offensive, so why do people feel the need to pick on Americans specifically? It strikes me as extremely narrow-minded.

Including porn, which is kind of ironic given the puritanical nature being discussed, and not being consequential.

Yeah, but blowing up people on TV shows, with blood and body parts going everywhere is perfectly alright. That is the thing with censorship, it isn't consequent.
> but blowing up people on TV shows, with blood and body parts going everywhere is perfectly alright. Don't worry, it is becoming "not alright" already. Completely sanitized movies where people are being thrown like a ragdoll, land on asphalt face down and then walk it off like they were slapped by a baby.
The sanitization is for commercial considerations. Getting a PG13 rating maximizes number of box office ticket buyers, so no blood after stabbings, no gore, and a maximum of one swear word.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET
What point are you trying to make? Arpanet is not the internet and the internet is not Arpanet. The claim wasn't that it predates any wide area network. It was that it predates the Internet, a specific well known wide area network.
Your lack of understanding of the history of the internet is really not any of my business nor concern.

#88These are nudes, not porn. Is "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli also porn?
Did you actually scroll past the header? There's a ASCII gif of a blowjob
Back in the day, I've actually seen ASCII images and animations that would qualify as porn cartoons, so I don't have to survey the presently referenced materials in detail. The majority that are just naked women in a standing pose showing bush and boobs are not porn.
Being naked isn't porn.
Otherwise we would ask, "where were you porn" rather than "where were you born".

Not in Italy. Back in the days I used to help (for free, I was ~13 and nobody asked) moderating a big free-hosting Italian service. It had a pretty smart business model: hosting was free, but any ads the webmaster wanted to show had to come from the hosting provider and the ad revenue would be shared between the webmaster and the hosting provider. One of the terms of service was no porn. As you can imagine one of the…

You mean, like Tom and Jerry or Coyote and Road Runner?
