Imgur Is No Longer Classifying Memes With Adult Humor As Mature (theverge.com)

(Saturday October 12, 2024 @11:34AM (BeauHD) from the content-moderation dept.)

Imgur [1]announced changes to its content moderation policies, [2]no longer classifying memes with adult humor as mature . Going forward, only memes with sexualized or lewd content will receive the mature tag. The Verge reports:

> Imgur is making the changes after it collected feedback about its content moderation over the course of this year, including that its policies, "especially surrounding mature content, feel inconsistently applied, too subjective, or just rather confusing as a whole," according to [3]a post from Imgur product manager Martyn O'Neill. Now, mature content consists "solely of sexualized or 'lewd'" content.

>

> Following the adjustments, O'Neill says that "warnings / post removals" are down nearly 35 percent month over month. Far fewer posts are being marked as mature as well; that stat has declined by almost 50 percent.

What is amazing about that is that the womanist movement at one point claimed that a woman should be able to make her own choices.

Turns out that being a traditional wife is not a choice they allow.

I mean, the tradwife almost never considers her husband the enemy

> Modern feminism has mutated away from equality into the "hate all men, we don't need no man!" movement and any woman who wants to have a healthy happy relationship with a man is now a "pick me girl", (meant very insultingly for those not following modern cultural terms).

Jealousy, no doubt. and illogical as hell. The concept some have of finding a man while simultaneously hating all men is doomed to failure. So the Pick me girl gets a man because she treats men well. And the unpleasant womanists and their womanist adjacent are left alone, Whoda thunk!

Liking men as human beings is now a bad thing to these women.

The same strong independent women who don't need no man are the same ones bitching about where did all the good men go by the time they're 35-40.
