Make sure this setting is unchecked (it's unchecked by default when you create your account)

The setting does not matter, if you select eroge as a tag. And many other tags. I remember complaining about this to support and in forum, but iirc it was dismissed on the basis, that people that selected the adult tag would want to see the adult games. And that there would be the 18+ confirmation dialog. Disregarding that the hover screenshots and many thumbnails are not sfw as well, in addition to the 18+ dialog being a saved setting that you might have allowed and then forgotten - you cannot clear that confirmation in settings.

I don't know what to tell you, maybe avoid selecting nsfw tags on accident in the future?

I just wanted you to know that your advice is undermined by itch not making that setting work as expected. In theory your reply should have been enough, pointing to the setting. But sadly the setting does not work as expected.

I believe there may have been a miscommunication. A change has been deployed and it will now no longer auto-complete adult tags if you don’t have adult content activated or visible when typing in the tag drop-down on browse games (eg. /games). There is still nothing stopping you from manually typing in any tag and navigating to it, and viewing an “adult tag” will remove the default filter that is applied. Our stance is still that if you manually navigate to a page of a certain kind of content, then you will see that content.

My stance is, that options in settings should work as advertised.

  • Show content marked as adult in search & browse

You made a workaround. But at least removing the tags from suggestion box if not logged in and having setting enabled is a tad more consistent. 

So maybe adjust that setting's wording so people will not be surprised. A (unless selecting "adult" tags) disclaimer or something like that.

As long as all the content is technically legal for minors, even if they (or their parents) would prefer them not to see it, that's fine. 

I honestly really think that should be checked by default.

Not every Itch user is an adult or interested in adult games. (I have check it because I don't want to feel like a baby)

I just reread the option. I totally thought it did the opposite of what it actually does.

While itch is not aimed at kids or teenagers (like gamejolt apparantly tries to) default setting to on would be just wrong. That stuff is for opting in, not opting out.

(Itch is aimed at people wanting to play or create indie games. That is not something I would attribute to teenagers in general. But maybe I am mistaken and some kids do not play on their xbox yelling insults at strangers ;-)
