"Appropriate" Phone Backgrounds

[Keoul]

When I set my backgrounds I always first debate if I would be okay with a kid seeing it.

Because of that most of my backgrounds are just fancy symbols or artworks. As for whether or not your background is inappropriate I don't really mind it, sure it's a bit lewd but it's your phone so you're free to use what you like. That being said you should expect some odd glances and weird reactions for having that background since it isn't the social norm.

Not saying that everyone should conform to the norm, just that if you do deviate, you're gunna get some funny looks till people get use to it.

Good god that's a bad picture OP.

Why?

And I suppose, according to the opinions in here that I shouldn't change my background for the summer to this:

Spoiler

I guess I'm not sure what I want to put as my background then.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT.

Obviously that's inappropriate. How could it NOT be??

Look, I'm gonna go ahead and restate the obvious here: If your wallpaper reveals what you jerk off to, than of fucking COURSE it's inappropriate. Here's a couple of good indicators that you should change your wallpaper:

--You would be embarrassed if your mother saw it.
--You would be embarrassed if your boss saw it.
--You would be embarrassed if really ANYONE AT ALL EVER saw it.

All three of those things SHOULD be true of this image.

That is inappropriate. It's your life and all, but it's still your phone and I would make a snap judgment based on that. Try putting that on something else than your phone.

If you really wanted a girl in a bikini, you could still put one that is slightly less ... voluptuous, but frankly it's better to just put something completely boring.

If your phone background tells me what you enjoy jacking off to, then it's an inappropriate background.

NOPE.

His phone, his rules regarding what is or isn't appropriate, granted, my back ground is pretty much all ages

Dark Matter Exia btw​

but it doesn't change the fact that, I'm not changing it cause some one might not like it if they ask to use it for a minute, you ask to barrow some one's phone you kinda just have to deal with what ever they have for the back ground, it's that or don't use the phone.

NOW, it's

I usually don't put anything sexual/erotic as my phone wallpaper or lockscreen, seeing as I use it around other people a lot, and with my luck, they'd judge me and I'd get super embarrassed lol, but here are my current backgrounds

Hmph. I would very much like to put NSFW images for my phone's BG...but the constraints of daily life and reality are, indeed, a harsh thing to bear.

That said, I've still done it for a lark, usually when I know I've got a day or two off work or public contact. Aside from that, it's fairly tasteful/neat imagery for all the folks who like looking over my shoulder while I fuck with google maps during a shift.

It alternates between these three recently...

Annnd a more suggestive/risque one.

But yeah, sir. Do whatever you want.

It's really just me being a shy little ***** about it. Otherwise I'd be rocking the anime tits at the local Starbucks too.

 

[Voulan]

I've tried to stay clear of anything sexualised just so I don't have to put up with having to justify it to anyone, but 'violent' images get a free pass though..

I've been using American Mcgee's Alice for a while on my phone, and SC 2 on the iPad.

Locked screen image, fits perfectly in the back space been the open slide and the time/date.

Unlocked background.

Thinking about using this one, will probably try and put it on the iPad to.

PC has a drawn dual screen WP of Hel from SMITE, which is pretty awesome.

Man, that is some sweet Alice fanart.

Meanwhile my background stuff has always been beautiful landscapes and the like. Right now, my laptop background is some form of screenshot I took while Beta testing TESO, and my phone is a picture of the sky. The lock screen is an artsy photo I took of my PS3 controller.

So as far as the OP, I would definitely be wary of using overly sexualised characters. Partly because as a female it makes me uncomfortable to see it (and no doubt so would any passing stranger), but also because many people won't appreciate it. If you have to explain your justification for using it, then don't use it.

Which is why I mentioned, rather briefly, that whatever floats your boat/quenches your thirst I guess, it's your phone after all. I can express as much disdain as I want but at the end of the day, it's his phone. Peace.

He asked for my opinion and he got it. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean you need to quote just to tell me that your opinion differs without being constructive. Kindly lay off.

 

[Flutterguy]

Wouldn't put anything that is primarily sexy or promoting any recreational substance.

Mine is the fullsize image of my escapist avatar which is a fairly accurate depiction of the alchemical Baphomet in anime stlyings. Thus it has boobs. Thus it tends to be either a fairly interesting conversation starter or an excuse for the more prude to avoid me. Essentially a win-win.

 

[Eddie the head]

If your phone background tells me what you enjoy jacking off to, then it's an inappropriate background.

But I thought it was ok that I used your picture?


Bad jokes aside I don't want to see your personal porn fantasy but I guess I don't have to look. Personally I just use a sunset. It's simple it's nice to look at and it's the fucking sun. Who is going to complain about the sun?

 

[Artina89]

I am of the opinion of "If I like it, I will use it" for my background. For example, here are my backgrounds for my phone and my PC.

[Longing]

a coworker constantly has backgrounds of anime lesbians who look very underage doing very age inappropriate stuff. whatever floats your boat, but there's just some things that should stay in your fap folder and you shouldn't get pissy if people are creeped out by it.

 

[PsychedelicDiamond]

Well, it's your phone and if you think that background is appealing to look at and refelects your personality then by all means, feel free to use it. I reckon that i might find it slightly embarassing if anyone asked me about it but that's just me. After all, i'm not one to talk, i use a photo of a somewhat silly celebrity crush of mine as my cellphone background.

[Joos]

Trying to not be insulting here, but you did ask for people's opinion so here goes: I do find the picture the OP posted to be directly made for sexual arousment purposes. Having such material available in such a way that you will flaunt your rather peculiar sexual fetishes whenever you operate your phone, I find both krass and off putting and I would certainly think lesser of you for it. The picture belongs in a private gallery where you can peruse it either alone or with like minded people.

Shit son, could I get a source for that bitchin' FSN picture?

 

[lacktheknack]

Depends. Is it the one with the thong? :S

Bad jokes aside I don't want to see your personal porn fantasy but I guess I don't have to look. Personally I just use a sunset. It's simple it's nice to look at and it's the fucking sun. Who is going to complain about the sun?

Depends. Are there sheep in the foreground? If you has New Zealand or Welsh background, that could be very unfortunate...

 

[purf]

I don't even.

Choose whatever background you want.
Be prepared for me judging you for it.
Simples.

Spoiler: for the record

My lock screen is a photograph of my daughter.
My home screen is a photograph of a blotch of abstract coloured light.
My desktopBG is 50% grey.

 

[Paragon Fury]

So, after some thought (and a lot of people almost yelling here) I changed it to something else:
