I thought China has extremely strict porn laws and laws censoring gory content, I'd expect it to be even worse in that regard. PeerTube and Odysee seem the most promising right now
Porn is illegal in China in any form. That's why their social media is 90% softcore porn of girls "testing workout equipment". I'm not even kidding, until you train your algo to ignore this almost all content is softcore porn bait and not even social media. Even e-commerce is just porn now lol
Oh or the NPC streams? Those are weird, yo.
From what I've seen, you can avoid the gore issues by desaturating the gory image or part of the video. The porn thing is true, women will use image stickers, mosaics or other obscuring methods to cover up even small amounts of cleavage, but that doesn't mean there isn't thirst trap content, it just looks a little different.
That just doesn't have a big impact on the content I actually want to see, so I don't really mind it.
