yunaffieI can't say I like this content policy Blogger has. o_o
Okay, so if you write adult stuff, you're supposed to put an adult warning on it, or the blog might be marked as adult. Fair enough, that's absolutely fine. I have no problem with that whatsoever and completely understand why.
What I don't understand is that they actually forbid certain adult content anyway. Even textual! (Which is the only kind of adult content I particularly want to see at any point, frankly... not keen on pr0n imagery.)
So, what do they forbid? Incest, bestiality, necrophilia and rape. (Not underage?) Seriously? So, even if you mark it as adult, you can't post any kind of fiction with those four particular themes. That's some bullcrap alright. I don't see what the harm is in writing incest, bestiality, necrophilia or rape...
... Totally written all of those at one point, yep~ I used to be so fucked up :D;;;
They are considered illegal sexual content apparently. Even if it's just text. Yeah, that's nuts. You could find that kind of stuff easily enough on FF.net (pfft, mods, what mods?) or AO3 or Tumblr, etc. Why is it even illegal? o_o
Not like I'm going to post weird smut on Blogger, but I don't feel very comfortable about posting fanfiction on there now. I don't like sites that try to restrict the fanfiction you post. IMO, fanfiction, and original fiction too, shouldn't have any restrictions on it. Just have them slap an adult warning on it and call it a day.
I don't think it's really right to restrict what you can post on your own blog either, provided you use the right filters for it when required. Except you shouldn't be allowed to post *that* of course. Not that you should possess *that* in the first place. It's illegal after all.
Blogger is dumb. End of story.
... It's also stupid that Customs in certain countries won't let you import obscene manga with certain content like those mentioned above. Like, why? Importing an incest manga doesn't mean you're going to bonk your sister. Importing a bestiality manga doesn't mean you like to bonk the family dog. It's just silly and I don't get it at all. Let people read whatever the hell they want. It's not hurting anyone.
