How touchy is the topic here

AlcoholOK

Fine in mainstream media; keep it away from anything aimed at under-18s.

Pork & beefOK

No dietary taboo, but label allergens and halal/kosher options if you sell food.

Adult / sex-positiveDon't

Sex-shop and lingerie creative draws organised complaints; expect broadcaster refusals.

Dating & romanceOK

Standard category. Avoid implying loneliness as a defect.

LGBTQ+ visibilityCareful

Legally fine in most, socially contested — the backlash comes from organised groups, not individuals.

Gambling & bettingCareful

Licensed advertising only; most markets require age gating and a responsible-gambling line.

Cannabis / vapeCareful

Legal status varies by state/region even inside one country — check before a national buy.

Skin & body imageryCareful

Modesty norms are stricter than in the secular north; nudity gets pulled.

Religion as a deviceDon't

Church-adjacent imagery in advertising reliably produces a formal complaint.

Politics & activismCareful

Silence is safe, half-commitment is not. If you take a side, be ready to hold it.

Debt, credit, cryptoCareful

Consumer-credit and crypto claims are regulated; 'get rich' framing invites complaints.

Death & illness humourCareful

Grief-adjacent humour ages badly; never near a live news event.

Basis: derived from a strongly Christian religion mix. Local legal review still wins.
