Hello, ducksoup

I would create a .gif about it if I had gif-creator in my menagerie of programs. There's just not enough hours in a day to play. As it is, Lost Girl is rated 14+ in Canada. If any sexual scenes portrayed in it came anywhere near to being soft porn, it would have an 18+ rating under the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council for "explicit sexual activity".

I hope that at some point in the future Wikia will consider an updating of opinion about what kind of "sexual" content visuals it considers graphic. A wiki about a television show for an adult audience needs to have some leeway if it's going to be honest about it and attract its fans to Wikia. If the only audience Wikia depended upon were children, it would have died a slow death long ago.

I have been seriously considering a content warning page so that American visitors understand up-front that Lost Girl is not and never has been a "family" television show.

Thank you for acknowleding that some of the rules are "a bit arcane". :-)

(P.S. "Casual homophobia" is a term for a phenomenon that first reared its head on social media. It involves the unknowing use of derogatory language that is still considered harmful -- for example, young people using phrases such as "That's so Gay!".  However, "Internalized homophobia" is always the albatross.)
