Title: For DF videos on YouTube, do you need to put content warnings?
Post by: Inatun on December 17, 2022, 03:43:06 pm

I'm looking to try my hand at making let's plays and I'd like to start recording DF gameplay as soon as I can get my hands on the Steam version. That being said, since DF involves drinking and violence but doesn't necessarily show it beyond barrels of alcohol, splotches of blood on the ground, and in-depth description of combat, do I have to put some sort of content warning on my videos to appease the legal team at YouTube? I'm hoping to take my channel to the point of monetization, so I'd like to know my responsibilities as a content creator.

the system is fairly random (thanks google) and mostly depends on if someone randomly reports your videos. i wouldn't bother unless you expect multiple thousands of views. the largest youtube channels that display DF gameplay don't seem to have content warnings, so, ymmv

You forgot the trailing guts, if a creature is disemboweled but alive (or undead)! It is delightfully disgusting, and yeah, might want to keep that in mind.
