User blog:DontAskWhoJoeIs/Proposal: ABOLISH Irritating Featured Content Restrictions

On Discord, I promised I wouldn't make any more controversial decisions in 2020...

I just feel like we as a community are doing an injustice by imitating how strict and unfair YouTube is in deciding what is or is not "advertiser friendly".

Squidnerd's 2017 released proposal to prohibit all D through Z rated content frowned upon the act of encouraging users to read mature content on a SpongeBob related wiki because the show is geared towards kids. However, a flaw in this statement of his is how he failed to mention how you must be 13+ to sign into SBFW, and yet you do not need to be 13+ to watch SpongeBob.

By refusing to feature D rated content on the front page, we as a community are in a way, intentionally or not, censoring creativity, which is something I strongly stand against. We must be better than Susan Wojcicki and modern YouTube. Which is why I am proposing to allow D and Z rated content to be featured on the front page, once again.

After all, what's the difference between this and linking to an article titled "Snail Sex" in the automatic Welcome message EVERY new user to SBFW receives? There really is none...

The internet was never made for babies who can't handle mature content. Proof of this is how this wiki, as of now, is mostly made up of adults and teens. I say toughen up and get out of my face. Strangers on the internet are not made to babysit children, and we are no exception. We should not be punished because irresponsible parents do not pay attention to their 7 year old's search history. -DontAskWhoJoeIs
