How touchy is the topic here
Fine in mainstream media; keep it away from anything aimed at under-18s.
No dietary taboo, but label allergens and halal/kosher options if you sell food.
Sex-shop and lingerie creative draws organised complaints; expect broadcaster refusals.
Standard category. Avoid implying loneliness as a defect.
Legally fine in most, socially contested — the backlash comes from organised groups, not individuals.
Licensed advertising only; most markets require age gating and a responsible-gambling line.
Legal status varies by state/region even inside one country — check before a national buy.
Modesty norms are stricter than in the secular north; nudity gets pulled.
Church-adjacent imagery in advertising reliably produces a formal complaint.
Silence is safe, half-commitment is not. If you take a side, be ready to hold it.
Consumer-credit and crypto claims are regulated; 'get rich' framing invites complaints.
Grief-adjacent humour ages badly; never near a live news event.
Basis: derived from a strongly Christian religion mix. Local legal review still wins.
