Are there awareness-raising or educational activities/tools/materials/measures addressed to children, about the risks they face when they produce and/or share: a. self-generated sexually explicit images and/or videos? b. self-generated sexual content? Answer: Educational and awareness-raising activities, tools, materials, and measures addressed to children are available particularly at the level of Land institutions. Thus, the Landesmedienzentrum Baden- Württemberg (LMZ, media centre of the Land Baden-Württemberg) looks after media-education projects serving the protection of young persons, on instruction of the State Ministry and Ministry of Culture of Baden-Württemberg, which have the objective of educating people throughout the state of the potential dangers inherent to the use of media, while ensuring that children, adolescents, and adults have the necessary skills in order to deal with media in competent fashion. Each year, the LMZ provides events geared towards adolescents on sexting, cyber-grooming and internet pornography as well as regarding the topic of “media and (sexual) violence.” Moreover, instructional units are available that address overriding topics such as social networks, presenting yourself on the web, data protection, as well as smartphone and apps.

  • Patreon and Porn Games: Crowdfunding Games, Reward Categories and Backstage Passes
    Patreon and Porn Games: Crowdfunding Games, Reward Categories and Backstage Passes Petri Lankoski Södertörn University 14189 Huddinge, Sweden [email protected] Mikolaj Dymek Södertörn University 14189 Huddinge, Sweden [email protected] ABSTRACT Patreon is a crowdfunding platform where pornographic games are funded; even the most successful game developer in terms of the number of members is developing a pornographic game. We looked at 42 developers and their Patreon pages in order to examine the effects of the Patreon crowdfunding model on videogame development. Especially we studied memBership rewards. As a result, developers were not only selling the game, But rewards we much aBout Community, Influence, and Recognition. Regulating Content Access is used regularly But often the latest version of the game is made availaBle to everyBody, just later to the members funding the development. We propose that certain rewards are similar to backstage passes in the music business and suggest that Patron pornographic games funding deviates from the crowdfunding model is not following mainly product-oriented commodity logic but a more community-oriented concept. Keywords Patreon, pornography, porgraphic games, crowdfunding, rewards INTRODUCTION Crowdfunding is a recent fundraising tool (see, Macht and Weatherston 2014). Several crowdfunding platforms have surfaced in recent years. Notably, some low entry selling platforms, such as itch.io exists along with more established digital distribution platforms such as Steam.

Developers usually set a minimum funding goal needed for the project realisation, and a deadline.
