I found what you said quite hard to read, but i think i understand what you mean.
I'm not judging the technical proficiency of the submissions, I'm just speaking in regards to the moral standpoint. I know this site is pretty much a haven for 'leave your morality at the door, next to the coats.' but its still something that essentially should appear on the age restricted 'mature' section of the site. That's specifically there for that type of content, isn't it?
Or even a button that 'switches off' the fleshy, explicit content before u even start watching would be A-OK by me.
like I said tho, its enough to know that there IS a way to skip them, now that I know I'll make use of it.
Thanks all for being mature about my concerns, I know this could have gone very, very differently. But I gotta give newgrounds credit, it has a great community.
Just wanted to chime in since the topic of censorship has come up. It really should be a non-issue on here. NG's is one of the rare institutions left that doesn't discriminate people's world views, artistic tastes, or ideas so long as they aren't outright malicious. Folks who are more easily offended by the obscene can simply opt out of viewing content here. You can watch regular television or a mainstream movie if you don't want to be bothered by the unfiltered masses.
But it's that notion of being unfiltered that makes this place so appealing to me. As an artist, you have a lot of wiggle room, and you don't have to adhere to any sort of rigid standards in art style, story telling, or cater to a specific demographic. "IloveEgg" coexists with Marc M here, and both have been received warmly by the community.
To want to impose censorship on NG because you don't like being offended, is . . . well, offensive.
At the very least, they do warn us with a maturity-level rating before we decide to watch.
