Not exactly what you asked for but VidAngel is amazing for that on streaming.

You get as broad or granular set of filters you want. From nothing blocked, to individual instances of swear words or suggestiveness->nudity are all there. Or even things like crudeness, smoking. Etc. Incredible detailed control if yoy want it.

With easy toggles for the main categories.

And you can see the instances of each of those on each episode based on what you have. It's listed out before you hit play.

I have no affiliation, just thought it was cool for if I had kids.

I use this and it’s better than nothing. I’m hoping for a day when AI is powerful enough to filter these out not by skipping them but by altering them. Subbing in family-friendly alternatives for curse words and maybe blurring or clothing the nudity. Obviously some scene will still need to be skipped entirely.

I have absolutely no confidence in this. "family-friendly" is extremely context and culture specific. You'll get lots of people actively trying to push the boundary for fun.

On the weird extreme of that are the Spiderman/Elsa videos.

On the cultural extreme is Mr Rogers washing feet together with a black friend.

Are we going to update the filters with time as well? Or would we get stuck with no toilets or flushing forever?

There's a lot of old movies in my country where the nudity happened and it was extremely matter-of-fact - for example people go for a swim in the ocean so they're naked while they change. Those movies are way more family-friendly than what this filter would accept.

A Black, gay police officer, at that! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Clemmons

Yeah I agree with the part of making it easier to do some of this stuff, heavily machine-assisted, even generative like you said, but will need a human at the end I think, to guide/audit and give stamp of approval. Flavors guided by culture like viraptor said.

It's one of those "I know it when I see it" things. To make sure nothing glitches, is weird, or the sum of parts not "off" somehow.

(Trying to synthesize both ideas)

I am curious.

What kind of harm do you think it does for kids to hear this speech? I've never seen anything that should worry me about it.

And I say that as the father of 4.

My kids are now 13 and 17. We've cursed in front of them and "allowed" them to curse since they were little. Language is language and words aren't inheriently "bad." The idea that a list of 7 words is some how offensive is asinine.

My kids are exceptional students, smart, do all the same activites as other kids. All the other kids curse, too, they just pretend they don't in front of their parents. It's a very silly game.

> What kind of harm do you think it does for kids to hear this speech?

I guess it depends on what you mean by "harm". Hearing it every once in a while, it is certainly unlikely to affect them. But if it's frequent enough (as seems to be the case in the gaming community), it will set a level of normalization that I don't want to instill in my kids.

That being said, this is my own personal opinion, and no one else should feel obligated to share it.

I taught my kids that swearing is contextual. In contexts where they are not supposed to swear, don't. And then I model that.

They've always known how to swear, but almost never do.

EthosLab is one of my favorite Minecraft players for this reason. Pretty much all of his content is good clean fun. When he's editing, like for PvP arenas, he's pretty good at muting teammates if they are more liberal with their speech, so his own videos don't have anything offensive.

ImpulseSV, GoodTimesWithScar, Grian, PearlescentMoon, BDubs... most (not all) of the Hermitcraft gang are PG.

Oh, and Skizzleman. Actually, Imp & Skizz's channel is great all around.

Imp and Skizz are fantastic, as are the whole hermit crew. Wasn't expecting to see them get a mention on HN but it's refreshing.

I forgot to mention TangoTek. If you want a real good time, watch their Friday Night Stabby Stabby streams (they play Among Us). It's got a great group including a lot of the above mentioned folks.

You can download the subtitles as a text file using youtube-dl. Should be faster than to actually listen to the video.
