Policy on NSFW content
If you're a minor, stay away from this post, or ask your parent or guardian to read this for you.

I, C0bra5, author of the pony modpack, will never allow, enable or create NSFW content for the pony modpack.

These are the reasons why:
  • I know for a fact that many minors have the modpack installed. Mostly because their parents contacted me about it.
  • A good third of the of the people who have contacted me about adding or enabling NSFW content either directly mentioned or implied zoophilia to be the reason for their request and I have no intent to enable those lunatics.
  • To clarify, I'm talking about the real thing, I couldn't care less if you're just horny for some colourful cartoon horses.
  • My interactions with the people who have requested NSFW content for the modpack have been so negative, that I've lost any motivation to work on the pack, play or make mods for starbound, or even take part in the brony community.
  • I've had to move out twice because of death threats. People have sent me unspeakable things though the mail and I'm going to spare you the details.


There used to a lot more to this post related to an incident in 2020. 5 years later, I've made the decision to remove it as it not only was incredibly cringe, but also directly mentioned people's usernames and I'd rather not paint a target on the back of people for some ♥♥♥♥ they said a long time ago.

The important TLDR for anyone who's considering contacting me about changing my mind on this content policy is this:
  • I'll be recording the username, account link and id of the account you used to contact me and those of any other publicly linked account. Usually either the steam account or discord account that contacted me and any other publicly linked account. You're the one who made those public, deal with it.
  • I also record the content of the interaction, and tag so it can be looked up later.
  • Any illicit media sent to me as part of these requests is stored as a file hash.
  • The folder in which the data is stored is password protected, The only people who know it's password are me, a local police officer and a few trusted relatives.
  • I've been collecting this data since the start of 2017 after receiving a letter containing a very credible death threat.
  • I have no intent to share the data I've collected with anyone except law enforcement when ever applicable (eg: when attempting to identify who's sending death threats to my front door).
  • For those who want stats, as of writing this (2025-09-13), I've recorded 1029 interactions.
    • 649 are tagged with "horny but harmless".
    • 129 are tagged with "death treat", 13 of which are marked as severe.
    • 374 are tagged with "zoophile". The implied vs mentioned split is about 60/40.
    • 8 are tagged with "CSAM". I've reported all of those to the authorities and platforms used to contact me.
