The Steampunk World

Being the continued explorations of a living steampunk.

The steampunk world is all around us, lying just out of sight, in a continuous thread of steampunk builders and culture that extends from the Victorian era to the present. You'll find no science fiction here: This is real life steampunk.

So I ran this Content Audit that I got some spam on, to see what it turned up. Well, mostly it was crap in my cache that some page or another had stuck there that said XXX PORN BOOBS etc etc. But it's funny to see which words they considered potentially objectionable. The audit turned up files in my hard drive that contained any of these words:


playboy
mdma
fuck
nazi
piss
violence
drugs
witchcraft
gay (gay?)
sex
jugs (jugs?)
terrorist
dope
dyke
bitch
pistol
gamble
penis
nasty
suicide
blood
screw
alcohol
lottery
tobacco
stoned

...and so on. It was pretty funny because all sorts of randomly-generated cookies were turning up because they contained "lsd", "ghb" or something similar. But the cached copy of this page turned up in the audit, too, because it contained "jugs terrorist dope dyke tattoo bitch piss". Plus "vulgar" for the link to Vulgaria. But tattoo? Why is tattoo on this list? I can see "lottery", and "gamble"... to find out if your family has been gambling online. Same with nazi, sex, drugs, etc. Why tattoo? As a concerned parent who thinks their child is going to get a tattoo, and wants to put a stop to it, would you turn first to a covert search of their web cache? Regardless of your personal beliefs about tattoos, very few people believe that it's a right we should take away from other people! So why is it lumped in with all those controversial keywords? How odd.
