"Wholesome" does not equal childish or family friendly. Even mature or explicit media can be wholesome if it conveys good and healthy values or depicts genuine positive feelings.

Thank you for saying that. Everyone labels our community as wholesome but we are also mature adult content focused as well. Just because we talk about Kukui (Pokemon Professor in Sun/Moon) being a bottom, doesn't mean we can't be welcoming to everyone and support one another.

I’ve seen some incredibly wholesome moments in NSFW content. Just because it’s wholesome and heartwarming does not mean that it’s childish or family friendly. I’ve seen some wholesome things in stuff like The Witcher 3. Or stuff that looks wholesome but handles mature topics

Naaaaaw man
-Obviously- I need to constantly consume and regurgitate cynical uncaring grey mush that slowly chips away at one's empathy and soul!
How else am I supposed to convince myself and others that I am, in fact, a 'mature' adult!

Dorohedoro, in a nutshell! Definitely not family friendly, there’s lots of violence, but it’s entirely about the strength of friendship and how important it is to be a good friend!

A word can have multiple meanings. In some cases wholsom can be explicit. In others it does mean family friendly. It doesn't even have to have good feelings or values. The trick is to know your audience and to know who you are watching.

True! I've been watching alot of vtubers lately. Some of them, e.g. ironmouse, truly master the art of being wholesome while also being very nsfw.

i consider deadpool (the movies, at least) pretty wholesome in its depictions of found family, healthy heterosexual romance, and acceptance of ones flaws. its got super positive, uplifting vibes, too.
i also could not think of a single franchise that is LESS family-friendly.
