The latest ad shown on the front page is for a disgusting AI girlfriend porn website.
My content filter settings explicitly disallow mature content.
I should not have to see this fucked up ad (that shouldn't exist in the first place, but the fact that it is shown to people that don't want explicit content is even worse).
It is even shown if the content filters are set to "safe". This must be fixed ASAP. I suggest fixing it by removing the ad altogether.

Yeah, i'm surprised they're doing this again. Last time they showed these AI GF ads, so many people got pissed that they pulled them within like a day. Although, the irony of being upset at seeing mature content, only for the next person to comment having whatever that is as their profile picture, it's kinda funny.

The content filter only filters out titles (manga, manhwa, manhua), not the ads. If you unchecked "Mature" and/or "Erotica", that doesn't mean the ad will disappear or anything.

I can't believe I have to say this...:facepalm:

Ah yes, so that makes it ok to show mature ads to people that set their preferences to avoid mature content, of course...

Just let it be; at the very least it's not something worse. There's literal erotica and hentai manga on this site after all.

But those are easily filtered out with user preferences. The ads should get the same treatment, that's my main problem here. Someone that doesn't want to see hentai manga shouldn't see hentai ads.

(Also we shouldn't see AI girlfriend ads overall, but that's less of a potential legal issue if filtered out properly)

True, true, buuuut I would like to remind Mangadex is (ignoring the subscription tier thing) free; I don't think they can literally afford to be specific on who pays for an ad slot.

They've already stated in January they wouldn't repeat the mistake of running this exact ad again. This callout is justified.
I am getting the feeling that the people up top are not fully communicating all their decisions with the staff involved.

But are likely just jumping the gun without asking, then going:
"Lol, ok now you nerds handle the angry users, we'll be at our yatch."
