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-positiveCareful

Platform policy, not culture, is the binding constraint: Meta and Google reject most sex-positive creative even where it is legal.

Dating & romanceOK

Standard category. Avoid implying loneliness as a defect.

LGBTQ+ visibilityOK

Visible representation is expected from consumer brands; performative Pride without substance is the risk.

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 imageryOK

Skin is fine in context; anything that reads as body-shaming is not.

Religion as a deviceCareful

Never as a punchline or a design flourish. Referencing a festival respectfully is different.

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: generic secular-market defaults. Local legal review still wins.
