untrue, considering that we have a board like off topic (and all of its subforums) and the entire clan discussion forum, where virtually any topic can be discussed -- look at the abortion thread, which doesnt have anything to do with toribash.
however, its obvious that you cant post nsfw content in off topic or clan discussion since they are public forums. wibbles was a private board which you had to buy access to and every nsfw thread was labeled as such, with all caps, bold, colored NSFW prefixes in the titles. i don't think it can get more blatant than that

So making the comparison to communities where the culture allows for nudity to be posted is completely absurd. This is a community filled with kids and maya knew this very well before posting those photos.
a lot of minors browse reddit and there are subreddits dedicated to them, even. i wouldnt say wibbles was necessarily an adult space, but the nsfw threads, well, they obviously were. they were labeled as such. if you open an nsfw thread, you should expect to see nsfw content.
we had this same discussion in wibbles before and we had this same sort of back and forth - i even made the same points. i think its ridiculous that people are still beating this dead horse. im sure u guys got ur reasons to dislike maya and im not complaining about that (i thought her first post in this thread was pretty absurd as well), but pushing this "child predator" narrative so adamantly is disingenuous. in those wibbles threads, she was never trying to groom minors or sending them nsfw stuff directly. she was posting her nudes in nsfw threads, under spoilers.
ill repeat the same point that i made months ago in that
one wibbles thread: maya is the only one that gets called a pedophile for posting porn in a board that allowed porn. i never saw anyone giving 2rud shit for replying to ancients requests. if you saw his thread, you know what i mean.
-----
btw (since i really wanna make this point as clear as possible), wibbles "culture" and rules allowed for porn to be posted. when we had this same argument, i suggested that if porn was causing all that conflict then we should ban it. not only maya's, all of it. that never went forward though
