titles tagged "pink film" are all having title pages that don't allow the posting of new Reviews, Recs, Photos, Discussion or link to the Feeds,
Thank you for this information. I didn't realize "pink film" has no of these options.
a clumsy attempt to cut "porn" from the site
Porn have never been allowed in MDL since I joined the site 10 years ago. But pink film and softcore have been allowed in the database. My guess is softcore/pink films are usually featuring mainstream actors, mainstream directors, while porn exclusively involves porn actors/crews. That might be the logics but I don't know. We do have profile pages for porn actors though since they do make appearance in mainstream works.
Now the problem is Pink Film is very "Japanese" when it comes to categorization. Only certain works fall under that category while those with almost similar essence are not. Example: It Feels So Good which is as good as porn already. It even can be found on illegal porn sites....lol
and be "family friendly"?
It will be more of "NSFW free" than "family friendly" IMO. If that is the direction then be it. But Admins need to be specific with the regulations and must avoid the double standard.
it would affect a not-so-small percentage of BL dramas
That would be tricky.
That's why they need to make a clear rules on this. I personally don't think standard BL romance with just some 18+ contents should be restricted unless the focus of the drama is about making sex (and nothing else) but I don't watch the genre so I don't know.
at least it would be consistent. Not the right choice
Alternatively they can do age verification and making censorship personalize-able at account settings.
(Going further down the logical chain, any post with a half-naked man and thirst-comments would be the next step.)
This one is most welcomed honestly....LOL Or at least require the post to be under spoiler.
