Damn there goes the feet appreciate topics, since the mods can't control themselves.

I mean, your implied sarcasm aside, feet topics are pretty much the definition of hornyposting, because they're basically jerk-off bait for foot fetish weirdos.

What the heck is hornyposting and why is it wrong?

The motivating logic is probably the same logic the site used to have originally - if something is inappropriate for a younger user, it shouldn't be on a site that exists to discuss video games.

The site used to have a little leeway because you had to be at least 12 to make an account here, and enforcement has gotten a lot more slack over the years because the user base was getting older and older in general so the people running things were willing to allow a bit more "mature" content, but Fandom clearly wants to try and start pulling in more younger users (and honestly, they probably need to if they actually want to keep the site alive), so it looks like they're going to try and start trying to make things more "family friendly" again.

The problem is they're not likely to actually pull in younger users because the site design has been obsolete for nearly 20 years, so all they're really doing is chasing off existing users in a desperate attempt to bring in new users that will never come (sort of the same thing the comic book industry has been doing over the last decade or so).
