Line 146:
** And, of course, the "side hug" is a real thing which is suggested for anyone working with children, in secular or sacred settings, in hopes to avoid anyone suggesting that there's intentional "crotch contact".
* Strictly speaking, as long as there is a moral judgment involved in what is permitted to be documented there (as was and presumably still is the case in the wake of [[The Second Google Incident]]), [[TV Tropes]] set itself up to be The Moral Substitute to any tropes wiki that does ''not'' censor its content -- including ''itself''.
* Bitchute and Gab attracted those from the alt-right due to what they perceive as "politically correct" censorship from liberal corporate-run social media sites. Stretching the "moral" definition even further was the Patreon alternative called "Hatreon" founded by right-wing extremist Cody Wilson. Contrary to claims that the site accepted "right-wing women, people of color, and transgender people," Hatreon, as the name implies, clearly caters to those sowing discord against minorities e.g. white supremacists and extremist hate groups such as The Proud Boys.
* While piracy is obviously a moral gray area at best, The Pirate Bay Clean (TPBCLEAN) bills itself as being a more modest alternative to torrent sites, particularly the original Pirate Bay, as most if not all of them are littered with pornographic content and ads for adult sites. There is an option to turn them off on TPB and the others, but for the most part adult content tends to be enabled by default, hence the initiative for a "family-friendly" alternative, besides the fact that most of the Indian programmers the author hired weren't up to doing work on a site that served smut.
