[Featured Project Submission] A three.js tool to create and 3D print sex toys

I like the tool you built. It’s a fun product visualizer, the Soft-Serve and the Oscar are hilarious! But we cannot just ignore that it comes with very strong sexual connotations that can complicate things. I think a lot of Three.js developers are underage, a lot use it in a classroom learning environment, and a lot of others work in professional office settings, so showcasing this on the homepage would probably just cause headaches for both the administrators and for visitors. Human Resources departments would frown on their employees visiting sextoycollective during office hours. Employees would probably be scrambling to close the browser window when they realize they just opened a dildo-builder. And I couldn’t even imagine what high school administrators would do, since it’s an educational website linking to adult content.

I think it getting 2300 likes on Reddit is great, but it was posted in a sex-themed channel, so people knew what to expect when they go there, and Reddit has age-consent (“You must be 18+ to view”) messages. Running into your tool from the homepage will certainly be unexpected to many.

That’s just my two cents.
