Problem details:
My main problem is that most of the maps have WEIRD backgrounds that are IMPOSSIBLE to stand PLEASE just add a feature that would let you hide map background even on the menu screen this is crazy.
Why does 18+ tag even exist if your map is gonna have half naked children and some girl showing her feet in the background ?? is there even a moderator team for this stuff? and why is this community full of degenerates who put the most sexual map background or find a random woman and look up insanely sexually suggestive poses?? to put on their map, this is insanity.
I'm not asking you to check every single graveyarded beatmap, but if you're going to make it loved or ranked please make sure it dosent have a fetish background or HALF NAKED CHILDREN in the background?

Don't want to be the guy who has to defend Osu's backgrounds here, but alr.

First off, the maps with "swimsuit" images are mostly TV size maps (PP farmable), and if you play literally anything else there is a 99% chance that you will get a normal background.

Second off, no one here is sexualizing children, those are images from popular anime, and no one is looking at it like "EW CHILD + SWIMSUIT = PEDO COMMUNITY"

Third off, the 18+ filter is meant for actual 18+ stuff, which so far I have only stumbled upon ONE skin and explicit lyrics.

Fourth off? I can give you a good example with my Profile Banner, it is an official collab "Endless Mirage" where this character was pickable, and some people did find a problem here about how revealing it was, and I was asked to cover it up a bit, I did, that's it, that was the border of what would be sexualizing and what wouldn't.

Fiftly?? It is very much comparable to art, where there is tons of nudity, but it's "art", here it's basically the same, but just some backgrounds, and if no one has a problem with it, no one else has, it's not like everyone collectively agrees that "pedo images" are right, they just don't look at it like something lewd.

Also you've literally spent over 200 hours playing this game, I'd understand if it was coming from a new player, but like..

Lastly, yes the moderators, top players, and developers are aware of the maps that are being published, and they aren't getting removed for a reason.

The first ss i have shown, the background has NO reason to be children in swimsuits i don't care what you say that is WEIRD

Also i don't think you realise that a lot of this playerbase is full of children exposing them to such degeneracy is pretty bad.

The last loved map has NO reason for it to be some random women showing their fee, it literally has nothing to do with the map? i literally have NO idea what i would say if i was scrolling through my maps and clicked on that one and one of my family members come in. the fact that it even got through loving is insane to me, i guess peppy has a feet fetish?

Third of all WTF is your banner? You could have very easily used an appropriate image of that character without having to feel the need that you should censor some of it, infact even having the need to censor it is a BAD problem and an awful sign. What do you think people say when they look at your profile, or do you not care that you stand out like a degenerate?

For your last point i literally spend 99% of my time playing non submitted and converted beatmaps from other games as i get the best performance on osu than etterna or quaver.

As for my request i would just like to have the feature to be able disable seeing map backgrounds at all

Could you please find a different defence?! I absolutely refuse to believe that someone would actually use an excuse like that, unless if they are in a very tight spot and their life is almost over.

1. I’m actually gonna ask em why did they do it and then continue this point.

2. I’m 15 btw, khmm, I think that once or twice this if fine… anyway again, no one is gonna look at it weirdly unless someone points out how it’s sexual and desensitising young players. Wait desensitising them to what? Swimsuits, feet and b**bs?

3. I don’t think you understand that this game is mainly anime-focused, ofc there is gonna be smth like that. Also have you tried JUST DELETING THEM?? You’re acting like whenever you open Osu, you’re exposed to child nudity. It’s at best 0.1% of all maps, just delete them is you have an issue.

4. My banner is a pickable video game character from a battle game ig, and her weapon is a literal torpedo 🤩, ofc her outfit would be connected to water. Also she is just swo cwute and energetic, love her. And no I couldn’t have chosen a different one, cause all of the ones I could find, I didn’t like, and again, it came in default for her when I was looking for characters. And yes I very much understood that *some* people would not like it, and I’m willing to take the criticism or whatever’s thrown at me, bc it is defo worth keeping her. Btw, no I can’t switch her out now, the collab is over forever.

5. Do wachu want, it was just really funny how you’ve spent over 200 hours playing a game that “sexualises it’s backgrounds with kids and woman, and no one cares about it cause everyone’s a pedo”.

6. That would mean that the devs would have to go over 3 million maps ever submitted + difficulties, just to filter out some that “sexualises it’s backgrounds” and blur them or whatever. It would also ruin overall-aesthetics and try to remove something that is already allowed when submitting beatmaps for 17 years.

7. Again even slightly sexual beatmaps are 0,1% of all beatmaps, might be connected to how music videos have some lewd stuff just to gain more views, anyway this is an anime-focused game, yes there are gonna be some needles in a haystack, just the needles are huge because people actually play those maps with no problem instead of whining about how it’s “sexual”. So again just delete them, or better yet, stop playing the game if you can’t endure some innocent kids and female body parts under clothes.

i was joking but it is indeed what people say lul
in fact a lot of loli characters are actually anything but children despite looking like children, prob so the author of the character isnt put on a registry

plausible deniability seems to be used a lot by pedos in anime fanbases ;-;

Yeah just need to say anything to wank off to kids -_-
Also don't you think that some of them just find small characters like that cute, not bc they're kids?

welcome to anime, enjoy your stay
it's annoying but you can probably just run a script on your songs folder to delete anything ending in .jpg or .png and it'll be fine

yea dats true i feel like a lot just find small characters cute
however when people so vehemently defend it and pretend that there are literally 0 issues with it i very much doubt their reasons for doing so lol


anyway gmts should lock dis cos its not really something that should be in help anyway (i dont think anyone can help ;-;)

this is why these threads feigning incredulity at anime fans being weirdos are so funny to me
why bother making the thread title a question you already know the answer to? anime fans can be fucking weird, that's all there is to it. unfortunately that federal law is written with multiple stipulations that some gross anime can and does get around. but hey it's gotta be vague so the epsteins and schneiders of the country can get away with it

but yeah, looking at cartoon characters and thinking about real people is weird in the same way that looking at mr potato head and thinking about real potatoes is weird
