Questionable images from wallhaven sources #342

Closed dunkmyster9 closed 4 years ago

Version of Variety you are using

Variety for Ubuntu

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Recently I have been getting a lot of images of very pretty young girls, like 14 years old or younger, in photos which I consider as soft porn - clothed but seductive. I clicked on "next" to find them, and then "image" and "where is this from", and found they were all coming from wallhaven sources, so I removed all of them. I was ready to remove Variety altogether, because I find pedophilia, or anything close, so repulsive.

Describe the solution you'd like

The developer of Variety might want to consider not including wallhaven as a possible source anymore, to maintain the credibility of Variety. Otherwise Variety is great and have been using the app for a couple of years or more.

Additional context

I just installed Variety, and I don't see Wallheaven enabled by default:

You also have the option of modifying your sources (also on the same page).

Addiitonally, if you want to customize your Wallheaven feed, you can do so also here: image

Finally, Wallhaven has multiple tags to choose from, and a SFW tag: image Now, the fact that this does not work, is totally Wallheaven's issue. (Or mine and your SFW definition together differ from Wallheaven's)

Removing an optional source/feature, just because one user does not like to be able to dig and look at it ... well. Sounds not good.

Especially given that there are numerous ways to fix your experience.

Thanks for your reply Stavros. I should have done what I normally do before sending an email that might be controversial – sleep on it (like I did for this email). My choice of words and phrases wasn’t appropriate, and I totally overlooked that for a demographic different than mine, like 15 year kids and younger, having every second background photo a pretty junior high aged girl (like my background had become in the last few weeks) is totally normal. If I had known wallhaven wasn’t installed by default, I wouldn’t have sent my first email. Sorry if I pissed off anyone there – keep up the good work. Variety is great, and free!!
