I see this is this week's merry train-wreck of a discussion, but I can't resist pointing out that even that isn't as clear-cut as you'd expect: in Japan you can perfectly easily buy manga depicting extremely young children having sex and just be thought of as a bit weird. (But just like in the grown-up versions, the actual...appendages have to be very minimally censored...*unlike* in most countries). Such things would technically be legal in probably most western countries, but very heavily frowned upon to say the least, and as a matter of practice, I don't think you can really buy them elsewhere. To derive a more useful principle: there's almost no universal agreement on any issue of what's 'culturally', 'morally', 'ethically' or whatever acceptable, so it's effectively impossible for Fedora as a project to create an 'Objectionable Content' label and apply it in a way that's useful. If you are producing a spin for a group with sufficiently continguous views on such things, it falls to you and no-one else to ensure that the materials in your spin are appropriate for your audience. 'We' - the project as a whole - don't necessarily share or even fully understand your moral perspective, so you can't rely on us to do it for you. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
