#SafeSearchWrapUp is heavily community driven effort to help make the SafeSearch features on image-search engines such as GoogleImages be free of NSFW content. Every cartoon from “Avatar: The Last Airbender” to “Young Justice” contains fan made pornographic works referred to as Rule-34. Rule-34 is a catch all term detonating porn of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, cartoon or not. However searching up images of any animated series will likely turn up these images, even on the first few pages.
As the teen and adult fans of the show, we have to be considerate of the younger target audience. A lot of parents and their children may be looking up images of their favorite characters to print out and put on their wall or such. So lets come together …. no wait. As a community we can make image searching safer for the young ones and their parents. No shutting down or deleting things from existence, simply keeping it off SafeSearch as a courtesy for others.
The Game Plan:
Everyone should pick at least one search term they think would commonly used by kids and their parents, such as “My little pony twilight sparkle”. You can search at your leisure through a few pages… say 5-10 at least? However, on the 7th and 20th of every month we can all do it in large droves. If the call is sent out all at the same time, like a tradition then more people are likely to participate. Additionally, if Google or Bing gets a lot of flags for the same image from a lot of people- we can assume they will be more likely to remove it.
What to look for? Gore, blood, penises, vaginas, and perhaps lingerie. Just use your best judgement. Honestly if its something you wouldn’t look at while at work or show to a kid, then its probably not something we want showing up in a safe-search! If you think it should be done out of safe search as well, then thats your call to make.
How To Flag:
On Google, simply enlarge an image and go to Send Feedback circled here and enter comment notifying them the image is “not suitable for children” or something along those lines:
On Bing, simply click the flag image in the lower left corner when you hover over an image. Then check the “Adult” checkbox. Quick and easy! Lets do this!
Note: The original date was going to be the 15th of every month, however I decided to do it en masse twice a month instead.
I am so down for that you don’t even understand
Oh hey, look!
People actually doing something that would make a difference, and not just pretending to be doing something worthwhile as an excuse to harass others! I fully approve of this.
and there’s always the chance we’ll play my favorite game- SUDDENLY CHANGE THE PLOT COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
But really, it’s all very flexible. I have certain events that will happen and ones I WANT to happen, and skeletons of specific arcs (I actually plotted the upcoming one IN ADVANCE??? WOAH). I have an ending that I’m like 75% sure I’ll follow through with?
…AKS is 89% done by the seat of my pants sooo uhhh I apologize in advance
i feel really really sorry for that 11-year-old boy who tried to kill himself because he kept getting bullied for liking mlp, both because he’s being bullied over a cartoon to the point where he nearly took his life and because bronies are clearly trying to piggyback off of his…
Wow that’s…
Awfully cynical.
I mean, yeah. A ton of bronies are batshit insane.
But there have been multiple fundraisers and charities in the past that have run under the brony name.
It’s not exactly a new thing for them.
Has it really reached a point where anything attempting to be good is just damage control or some attempt to push an agenda?
So basically a bunch of Peruvians went to a little town in Nebraska named Peru for no other purpose other than to share their culture and make everyone great food and it’s just a cute and positive example of cultural exchange and everyone should watch it
