--- (Potentially NWS content) ---
I was warned not to post music containing references to smoking or drinking, in particular the following song:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6KnPhNEwoI
The lyrics to which can be found here:
genius.com/Uffie-art-of-uff-lyrics
Presumably the area of concern is with the following lyrics for alluding to substance use and sexual content,
(Substance use)
"I know, I know. You're so tired to hear about what I do
About what I smoke, what I drink, what I cook for my husband"
(Lewd / Sexual)
"This little Uff is about to make your sleazy dreams come true" - (and various other lines as Demosthenes mentions below)*
I however argue that these particular lines are completely radio-safe, and they aren't particularly specific or graphic. The amount of music containing hints to this type of content is vast, and requiring Avabur users (who are of ages 18 and up) to scour through lyrics before sharing their favorite music seems unreasonable. This rule is demanding on both the users, and the moderators who enforce it, therefore I recommend that the rule be amended.
PETITION:
The "Tag links appropriately" section should include the following qualifier: "Sex and drugs may appear in the lyrical content of music links so long as its not totally obscene."
(or something to that effect)
