Viewing post in Delete all ADULT games

Be wary of offers to install software on your machine that claim to do the impossible. If "block all adult content" were something easy to do, we wouldn't have entire industries built on providing filtering services to corporations.

It's possible someone could build a browser plugin that blocks all adult-labeled content on itch.io. It won't also work on Steam, or drivethrurpg, or youtube, or vimeo, or AO3, or tumblr, or twitter, or bluesky. They all use different methods to label "adult" content. (And they don't all agree on what "adult content" is.)

There is a way. It is an experimental method implemented in modern browsers. The Content Styling System, CSS. But you need a user Styling Extension for that. I prefer Stylus for that.

You can import this code snippet into such a styling extension. This will block ALL adult content. It is akin to xxx meaning adult stuff. Maybe you can activate it with javascript too.

@-moz-document regexp(".*.*.*") {
    body {
        display: none !important;
    }
}

I have not found the adult marking yet, and I am dabbling currently with extensions and with game filtering. It is meta data and you do not see that on the game page, nor on the browse thumbnail. Although I did not search for that information specifically. The wrapper they use for adult confirmation dialogue is gone, once clicked away. And that a game is non adult, is evident because it was displayed to you in the first place - hence I consider the whole issue as a bug. Trivially you could just modify the browse url. But why bother. They just need to delete the tags from their exception list. Or how am I to believe they implemented the feature in the first place? It is a feature and it has a configuration. It has to. Even if they cannot remove the feature just like that, they should still be able to configure it to do nothing, if no tags are on that naughty list anymore.

There might be a easier way, I could implement a fork of GPT 3 to scan the site and hide any adult content

I do not think I agree with you on the meaning of certain words... ;-)

-- And they don't all agree on what "adult content" is. --
And there you got a very good point. Since "adult content" is also a bit subjective.

And let's also be wary of false positives, as some words may imply "adult content" while in fact it's not. I've been banned on Twitter for 14 some years ago by a bot-moderator for using the word "trigger", as that was a death threat. (I was using that word in a completely different context, though).

Indeed, as soon as I see software packages of which the developers claim the impossible, I personally walk away as fast as I can.
