** 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''.
* So-called "alt-tech" social media sites like Bitchute, Gab and Parler attracted those from the alt-right and extreme right-wing political spectrums, especially those who've been granted [[Persona Non Grata]] status such as [[Alex Jones]] and [[Donald Trump]] among others, due to what they perceive as "politically correct" [[Culture Police|censorship]] from liberal, corporate-run social media sites.

There's 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.
