Special:Badtitle/NS90:Forum:Wiki Talk/Proposed Change to "All The Tropes:No Lewdness, No Prudishness"

Over the weekend, Nerdanel deleted the following passage from the "No Lewdness" section of All The Tropes:No Lewdness, No Prudishness:


 * Pedo gushing. We don't need to describe children sexually. This should be cut immediately. We're not interested in hosting pedophilia fantasies. Period. If a work contains children having sex and/or sexualizes children in a titillating way, even if portrayed negatively (e.g. Kodomo no Jikan), delete it as well.

and provided the following somewhat incoherent comment on the change:


 * I know the against Kodomo no Jikan I removed doesn't apply on this wiki. Maybe the rest can be looked at too.

I reverted the change and protected the page, as I felt a policy page shouldn't be subject to random edits by users, but assuming I read it properly he raises points worth considering. First off, the example of what is not permitted is a page that is permitted. Second, the language bothers me -- how much of it is a holdover from TVT? As this is written now, it would be grounds for deleting Lolita again, along with any works of allegedly dubious merit. Can we thrash out exactly what it is we're trying to forbid, and put it in terms that don't ban works we've explicitly said we're not banning?
