Hello @ganjafarmer,

Every community has a culture. This community exists only because some people decided to volunteer and curate stories. There is no benefit to being a curator. It is a service. So, if curators do not want to read stories that feature graphic brutality or sex, it is within their right to set those standards.

Hive is a diverse, open community. It offers almost infinite possibilities for expression. If the community doesn't exist that serves someone's appetites, then that someone may begin their own community. No judgement there. No limitation.

We don't want to read stories featuring graphic violence or sex. We are just people, trying to help out writers. There is no reason that helping writers should become an unpleasant chore.

I really appreciate your feedback. It's good to air these issues so we all understand our respective positions.

Have a lovely, creative day.
