Korra's Panty Raid

[Snake of the South]

So, with the help of a few others, a new podcast I'll be main-hosting is cooking up called "Korra's Panty Raid" (or KPR). KPR is a podcast mainly about Korra brought to listeners by fellow members of AP. Just post here if you would like to be a co-host and we'll get this train rolling to Republic City. At this time, KPR is full on co-hosts and is not seeking anymore. Check back here for updates on openings!

*Note to the curious: This isn't replacing Korrakast/PortalCast, but rather is existing alongside it.

KPR on Podbean (they have like a mobile app and stuff which I think is pretty neat)

I will totally join the panty raid. Maybe we'll find something... interesting.

I'm totally in on this and any AP-related podcasting.

Dear god, the name. xDDD

Once I download Skype to this lappy and I get a semi-decent mic, I'd be willing to jump in. I'm free most days during the week, my house being empty. :D

[Uncle Iroh]

You know me. Whenever I have free time I'll join in. Otherwise I'm always around for logistics and hilarity.

BTDubs, we need an image for this. Any takers on making one?

I am not sure how long it will be before we do another KorraKast, so I am in.

I know I said in chat that I'd make a picture, but I'll just say it here for convenience X)
So any particular wishes on the picture? I saw that this huge discussion on Korra Panty Raids. So go for that, or was that just a joke? nonethelessKorraPantyRaidwouldbehilariousandawesome

[Uncle Iroh]

I think what we discussed yesterday in the chat was about right. I am trying to think of a way to reconcile that with remaining PG-13, but I'm not sure that's possible lol. But have some fun with it!

[Pleh]

I missed the chat session. Someone please explain the joke? I honestly find the name repulsive and demeaning to the AP culture and class.

I jokingly named our skype chatroom awhile back "Azula's Panty Raid" based on this picture. Jon thought it was an excellent name for a podcast, but UI thought we should incorporate Korra into our title since that will get more viewers and it's pretty much what the podcast is about. I suggested Korra's Panty Raid, and they all liked it.

[Battery]

You know me and my opinions and where I normally sway, so... we all know that I agree with Pleh.

Korra's Panty Raid is a good name as a joke or a Skype call, but for a Podcast that is sustained by our forum and presenting AP to the world, it's inappropriate. If we want a joking name, that's fine, but "panty raid" is suggestive, immature, and unnecessary. If we want something that's humorous and fun, I'd prefer the term Korrasexual-Kast over Korra's Panty Raid.

[Snake of the South]

Hold the phone.

There's nothing to be implied by the name other than what meaning you yourself give it. It's partly why I believe it's such a good name. We can sit here and argue back and forth about whether or not the name is just unnecessary but I can already tell you we'll get nowhere.

Here's some perspective (and I use this example since it's actually part of the intro Alex put together); in Spongebob Squarepants, a show considerably aimed more toward children in the general scheme of things, an episode mentioned (and featured) a panty raid. Yet here on AP, I see people talk in the chat all the time about being drunk or high or other situations that are much more inappropriate than the idea of a "panty raid." I'm just saying, you can say the name is immature, but in terms of presenting "AP", I think it actually does its job quite well.

As much as I love the term "Korrasexual", isn't that just as bad? It has the same amount of innuendo behind it, the only difference is that it's derived from orientation rather than a mischievous activity.

The name is several things, but inappropriate is not one of them. Necessity of use of wording is opinion and to me, I think it's necessary because it's a fun name and the abbreviation has a cool hidden meaning of being our owner's initials. Speaking of which, KPR was mainly what it was going to be called in passing and such.

I hate to pull this card, but UI himself endorsed this name. He's the boss-man and knows best what this site needs in terms of presentation and names. Unless he openly opposes the name, then I see no reason to change it.

[Tera253]

I endorse KPR. sots is right. it fits the nature of AP, given the kinkiness of the chat and such. [and the drug/alcohol references and whatnot.] it's just part of who we are.

and... my hatred of the word "Korrasexual" aside [it just sounds dumb to me. has nothing to do with morals or anything], sots is right again. it's kinda just as bad, especially with what it implies [especially given the nature of sots' actions in the Korra RP]

so I'm all for keeping it. either that or turning the name back to Azula and then featuring the Yamino pic.

[Firelord Alex]

I agree with Tera when he says Korrasexual sounds dumb. It's like saying Zefronsexual or Katarasexual. It just makes me want to punch a goat because it's not how sexuality works. If it was a funny play on words, then it would be cool, but you're just taking a name and adding sexual to it.

[Uncle Iroh]

I originally agreed with you, Pleh. Given what it implies, it seems dirty.

But when I thought about it, we are a site that governs by the PG-13 rule. Is this rule pushed? Rather often, especially in the chat. But I intend to see it strictly enforced in anything visited and seen by the general public. I intend to make sure our image remains playful but mindful.

In terms of naming this after a raiding of undies, I don't see it breaking the PG-13 rule. If anything, it is a rather childish name as opposed to a mature one (with all love to the term "childish"). As mentioned, it was even the plot of a Spongebob episode. Any dirty connotation comes from an older crowd thinking of a panty raid as not being something about stealing underwear, but instead being sexual harassment (thanks a lot, Law and Order: SVU). But I don't believe the majority of our visitors will see it that way.

Naming it after a panty raid is not too mature to damage our image. If anything, it represents the very spirit of AP: fun-loving.

So here's the schedule thingy. It's not concrete, I just wanted to get something up so we could get an idea of everyone's availability. My time zone is CST by the way.

[Tera253]

I think it shows what times in people's equivalent timezones, since it was showing me 5s and 8s.

[D3stiny_Sm4sher]

As of right now my schedule varies every week but this week my free days are Weds, Thurs, and Sat (and possibly Sun, don't know yet).

[Firelord Alex]

I think we already have our lineup this week, but I don't run the thing so I'll leave it to Jon if he wants to tell everyone.

Nah, nothing's set in stone right now. Even our topic is still up in the air lol. By the end of Sunday or Monday, everything will start locking in place for episode one though.

However, I edited the poll to include Tuesday and Thursday in the options. I don't know why I left those days out originally.

[Firelord Alex]

I don't think people can make it at those times anyway

The times set in the schedule are selfishly the times that would be best for myself. But as I said, times are negotiable. I just know that usually, I'm working the whole night on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so that's why I put those new days at 12 pm.

Since not everyone saw this in chat, I'll say it here again. I'm looking to go in to this with five total people (four co-hosts for each element and then me as the Avatar trolololol). That way, talking over each other isn't a problem and discussion can be more plentiful instead of worrying about having to let 7 people give their input before moving to the next bit. If you don't make it in to the first one, I can assure you that you'll get in the next one. I want this podcast to be a chance for AP users to get their thoughts out in podcast-land, so I'm going to do my best to make sure everyone gets a fair shot. As of now, here's how KPR stands on co-hosts:

-Firelord Alex
-Battery
-Uncle Iroh*
-D3stiny_Sm4sher
-Air of the North
-Count of Monte Fisto*
-Tera253
*=Hasn't polled in on the schedule thingy

We got plenty of course, but I'm sure there's still a couple more users out there who would be interested in doing this. As long as you're an active member and I know you can talk Avatar, you're in.

If I had to guess when this will go down right now, I'd say Wednesday is looking pretty good (hopefully work doesn't change my schedule >_>). I'll know for sure by the end of the day tomorrow though.
