it's okay to be The Nothing. i am still recovering from Tomodachi April

hi nothing i'm nothing

From what I can tell, age ratings happened out of a callback to the aesthetic of having an age rating icon appear in the corner of a TV program or a game's box art. That's fine, I just hope no one forces me to do it because it seems unnecessary otherwise. Much like content warnings, it can also spoil what a creation is. Marking something as NSFW is the only rating that seems practical

On that same thought- I understand some people need content warnings anyway. I just wish others would note down warnings or assign ratings in a public database or through a browser extension, instead of making the creator stick it on their site. I value the "I have no idea what I'm getting into" factor on my site a lot

can't truly control who goes on my site, so stuff like "18+ only" warnings are more for deflecting accountability for pain that could ensue when kids do inevitably go through it. as tabf5 said, I do think warnings are part of the form/delivery of the content itself so it shouldn't be imposed on everything unless the owner decides otherwise.

mm, i agree with your point on accountability, heart. I also think warnings shouldn't really matter- I personally note my works are by and for adults, but I don't care if kids view it because A) i'm not their dad, and B) consuming different kinds of media is good for your mind. like "adult" books - if a kid wants to read Dickens, Clancy, or King, it's fine. who give a shit.

having said that, i kinda understand content warnings. i've used them on some pages because i was asked to since one contained CSA as a theme, and i have no grudge on that. but at the same time i dont think people are obliged to add them, yknow?

and what if i just brought back the iconic j weener placeholder text. what if

i like the effect imo. stuff looks too flat without it

@brachy damn entire site UI update and still no way to reply to comments directly. anyway yeah thats basically what i was thinking... i'll leave the toggle on for ppl who prefer without but i wont remove enitrely

minor typo spotted FUCK

CRT for sure!

Heyo! Thanks for the tip. I'll get that fixed soon :)

Should be fixed, you can scroll down on the disclaimer now.

Hasn't happened to me ;w;

yeah i've been having a lot of this as well. i updated firefox and the results are... inconclusive, to say the least.

ok, i just checked, this happens in waterfox as well. and it got worse just now. is this a neocities issue perhaps? anyone? are we rotting?

I love you :3
