Is there something about the word "porn" that actually communicates "really pretty pictures of something but without any human creations" beyond its Reddit meme usage? Because it doesn't for most people.
Also, not all community rules and objectives need to be in the name and URL. The word "porn" in URLs is problematic for users sitting behind state or corporate internet connection though. Be kind to your local network administrators!
Porn in the sense of something that is the sort of over the top example of a thing that elicits an almost aroused response. Like a gratuitous picture of food would be considered FoodPorn. Or like 2 perfectly machined pieces of metal fitting together perfectly would be EngineeringPorn.
Literally anything else. Earthpics, coolearthpics, globescope, naturerama, third planet…that was just 5 seconds of thinking. Using the word porn for everything just lacks creativity.
I think the more important question is...where is the trigger and how do you prevent accidental firing? I don't want to give away my secret just because I got a little nervous...
Probably yes, those are the letters in GPS coordinates they might need to input. However, the standard with global coordinates as two floating point values is that Ⓝ and Ⓔ are positive while Ⓢ and Ⓦ are negative so they could just use that.
Anyway, they should have just used a QWERTY keyboard and added an extra N on top for the logical layout of
<span style="color:#323232;"> ┌N┐

I think the current layout cannot be much worse. The positions of the letters don’t correspond to cardinal directions at all. In a combat scenario, you don’t want to type on a non-standard keypad. To make the NWES keys stand out as they should, they could be mildly arrow-shaped like ⭔ or ⌂. Keys are not easily confused if they have special shapes.

Looks like the top one is MCDU. You can do things like type in latitude and longitude coordinates to fly to.
Bottom panel looks like radio tuner, so just for entering radio frequencies and maybe transponder codes.
From other comments it appears this is not a shop. I don’t know why ATR would use this design. There are definitely other planes where you can key in radio frequencies into the MCDU.
I remember reading a comment a while ago (on Reddit, ironically) which pointed out that SFW subreddits naming themselves [subject]porn are borrowing the wrong part from the word “pornography”. “Porn” is from greek pornē meaning “prostitute”, but the suffix -graphy means “to write” and is often used to indicate “the study of” the thing it’s attached to (e.g. geography, cryptography, demography, etc.)
It would be more accurate, and perhaps less controversial, if these communities named themselves earthography, spaceography, unixograpy, etc. As an added bonus, the -grapy suffix is also prominent in “photography” which is appropriate considering that many of these communities are places where people share photos of the subject matter.
I think you’re missing the point of the -porn suffix. Its not supposed to convey “the study of” or “images of”. Its meant to convey that viewing it is satisfying in some primitive/emotional/aesthetic way. NaturePorn isn’t just “pictures of nature”, it’s “pictures of nature that suck me in and make me want to see more”. In that regard, the comparison to sex is intentional.
