Is it just me, or are people becoming more prudish? (feddit.org)

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?

To be clear, OP didn't say "porn" on Lemmy, they said "adult art". There are contexts in which nudity is not pornographic, but I assume it's easier to just ban it all and not take any risks, than to judge the artistic merit of each upload before deciding whether it's too over the top.

The inverse problem exists for creators on yt who make animations that are not kid friendly. Google's bots love to tag them as for children, and thus demonitize them.

    Plenty of instances do allow nsfw content as well though. The important thing is its up to the person running it what they want to bother with moderating and the kind of communities to encourage.

    I doubt you would see GasGuzzlersRollingCoal to be particularly welcome in slrpnk.net for example.
