> We don't flag general apps, e.g., ebook readers and browsers. But bible readers are not general apps. They are designed to read bible and there are NSFW contents in bible.

Honestly I think their argument is pretty weak, especially since like you said in this case it was a bible reading tracker.

Again though, one of the apps has NONE of the Bible content, it is only "I've read Genesis 1:1" type of stuff, it is to track what you've read...

As pointed out in the PR... there's violent games with NSFW descriptions that were not flagged.

The fact they're ignoring so much is what makes me think this has nothing to do with NSFW content removal.

A Penthouse reading tracker might get flagged NSFW too without much fanfare, even without any content from Penthouse.

It seems like the point of this comment is to concoct an example for which anyone agreeing with the parent comment would supposedly hold an inconsistent opinion. I'll insert my own consistency: neither should be flagged NSFW.

Would a Bible reading tracking app be ok for a kids section if F-Droid had one?

I don't see why not.
