Pornography restrictions being codified into law, adult art being restricted from most Lemmy instances, Tarot readers blotting out the nudity on their cards on Reddit.

I’m watching the Magicians, on Amazon, and I use subtitles. All the curse words are purposefully filled in with random letters, so as not to offend the reader.

What’s up with all the prudishness? Can people knock it off, please?

People have vaginas. And titties. And dicks. And asses. They swear. They drink. They fuck. Why is this generation afraid of that? Acknowledging these things isn’t going to increase your chances of being sexually violated. So, what’s the deal?

    So what’s the worst that could happen if some fake artistic character doesn’t have its drawn tit censored?

      If that “fake artistic character” is a minor, that’s CSAM in some jurisdictions, and that leaves the instance admin legally on the hook for a whole range of offenses which are punishable by incarceration, huge fines, and/or life on a sex offenders register, and in some places, chemical castration.

      So yeah, not near as fucking innocent as you make it out to be.

        I didn’t make it out to be anything, I asked a question.
        And what idiot country would not just give a warning and say remove the drawing if someone was offended?
        I doubt they would use all these draconian punishments as if they didn’t see any difference with someone raping a baby and putting it online.
