Adult content on Wikipedia

Adult content on Wikipedia is not of concern as they cover a whole range of topic and therefore will have links to adult stuff on various pages (if appropriate), doesn't make them an adult site. The onus is on the user if they want to click on it or not, and whether kids will click on the link or not is beyond our control. Just as long the target page doesn't have any explicit imagery, then it should be fine, otherwise it should be marked "NSFW".--ForceFire 08:07, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

The reason I am concerned about this is because I'm worried about parental reactions to this type of content. I personally have known about this content on Wikipedia for some time and I think I mentioned on one occasion that I've noticed the adult content creep gradually into everyday topics on Wikipedia pages.

Additionally, I have known of kids to get punished for accidentally accessing adult content on sites such as Wikipedia, simply because they did not know it was there (or that it existed for that matter). Personally I find some of the content on Wikipedia morally indecent and would have been better off not knowing about it. That's why I am so opposed to having Wikipedia links on this site.

Again, it's beyond our control. IF you are really concerned and have problems about the content on Wikipedia, it's best to bring it up to them and not us, as it's their site.--ForceFire 08:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

While what is on Wikipedia is beyond our control, what is not is that there are links to Wikipedia which could potentially lead to inappropriate content. I know of plenty of other sites which we could be using to avoid a site such as Wikipedia to begin with, though when it comes to the internet it gets difficult because everything (except Pokemon) on the internet has a tendency to be infiltrated by these types of content I have moral concerns with.

If I can interject here, everyone has a different view to the world, I'm sure there are things you're fine with that im probably not. Personally I don't like the fact and feel kids these days are subjected to a lot of guns and violence since that's what's society likes to pump out. That being said, Encyclopaedias are primarily there to inform from a neutral point of view, not to censor information in order to conform to some individual bias. Nothing on the pages you tried to remove is NSFW. If a child is punished for looking for information on a well known and accepted neutral source like wikipedia, to be honest I think that speaks more of the parents than it does of the child. 4iamking (talk) 08:27, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

4iamking, I do not recall trying to remove pages, though I did attempt to remove various page content for these reasons. Wikipedia has topics about truly damaging topics which should not be linked to on a site like this. I understand where you are coming from about encyclopedias being non-biased or censored but especially in today's society every parent is overly strict with no exceptions. That's why I would take a precaution such as this to avoid these types of things happening before they even happen. Mario60866 (talk) 08:31, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

I meant the links that you tried to remove, sorry if that was misworded. And if that is the case, all I can say, is that i'm glad I didn't have the displeasure of having had such parents, but regardless that has nothing to do with Bulbapedia.4iamking (talk) 08:41, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
