Seems like a business opportunity for another website to take that niche, a "Porntreon" if you will.
- darklajid 9y ago"Family friendly" and morality are not global concepts though. Things that might be ok in NL/DE might offend half of the US, things that the US doesn't care about might offend secular countries in the middle east. If you want to be a global platform, morales are tricky to get right. I believe it's best to let the consumer decide. Force people to mark their content as adult and hide adult content by default. Maybe with age verification to enable it, for countries that want that?
- timthelion 9y agoAren't NSFW filters good enough for family friendliness in America? There are, of course, things which are not suitable for children, frightening things, disturbing things, content related to immoral behavior. But if you ask an American, the destruction of life is far more suitable for children than it's creation. Patreon has no qualms hosting videos fantasizing mass murder and death [1] even when those videos are obviously aimed at children [2]. Is this really family friendliness or merely some strange flaw in our psychology without moral or philosophic basis?

- vacri 9y agoYeah, patreon should shut [1] down, because otherwise kids might incorporate the lessons learned and just engage in space battles with their spaceships all willy-nilly.
