But what about when someone shows their wedding cake topper? Is that
on-topic? If so, it is ok that it presents sexual content? Do the admin
groups remain adult only because they're off-topic also?
You have not provided a good reason why Lugnet should stray from it's
original vision which was to be more than just a soulless place to talk
about LEGO. If the off-topic stuff is made inaccessible to kids, they will
be left out of the community, except that they will pick up the shadows of
the community, and realize a deeper community exists, that they can not be a
part of.
You are demanding that all kids, no matter what their parents might think,
should be put in the same bucket. Kids need a variety of places they are
exposed to the adult world, and they need to learn themselves what they are
comfortable with.
