FUCKING EXACTLY!

It shouldn't matter for shit, but: I am an asexual female game dev who isn't exactly white. I've got a WIP game that, even though it doesn't  have ANY sexual content at all, it is very adult and because, despite it being a dark fantasy RPG, it has many elements of horror, including kidnapping, murder and fantasy religious horror. Because those are only three  of the many, many things in it that are far from kid-friendly, or could be called "controversial" with how blatantly vague the new terms here are, there is a very real likelihood that, even if I were to make a page for my game here, despite the demo not being ready yet and the fact that it will be a free game, the page could easily be at risk of being yanked. Because it is not intended at all for children.

When I was in my twenties - early thirties (I am in my forties now,) I wrote porn for a living, professionally. No, I did not act in it, nor was I a chat agent, I wrote hardcore, softcore and fetish porn. NO ONE MADE ME DO IT. I did it because I like writing and have no problem at all with pornography.  (Plus, the pay was very good.) I am FAR from being the only woman alive who has ever written smut because I wanted to. 

NO ONE has the right to dictate what an adult can read, watch, or  play, as long as it isn't unquestionably,  blatantly illegal.  We do not live in the Victorian ages any longer-- who has the right to say we aren't capable of making up our own minds, knowing what we do or do not like, what we aren't comfortable with, or anything of the sort?  We are more than capable of making our own decisions and sure as fuck don't need someone to try and "protect" us from shit!

i dunno if i’m tripping or misunderstood ur comment, but NSFW does not stand for Not Safe For Women, it stands for Not Safe For Work, it means content you shouldn’t open while at work because more often than not it’s lewd, but lately it refers to just +18 content in general, for other reasons such as graphic violence, dark themes and so on.
