I'm not sure I see the pressing reason why this thread needs to go on-wiki. Commons doesn't have a venue for discussing problems this fundamental with it as far as I know, and people have spoken in this thread who either do not or will not participate on-wiki on Commons. Moving the thread on-wiki

I wouldn't mind not seeing any of those userboxes on the projects, but... userbox wars have wasted countless hours over the years. I was tangentially involved in debates about the pedophilia/ephebophilia boxes, the User supports Hamas (etc.) boxes and a few other debates, and found that only the

Straight but not narrow is not necessarily fetish/philia related: people saying they are straight but not narrow often means they are straight but support gay rights. But that's just a side issue. I have a gay userbox/category on my user profile for a few reasons: because I use it as a litmus
