The Kink Key & DoJa Scale

Introducing The DoJa Scale & The Kink Machine, when you watch porn especially animated erotica we have to ask ourselves more than just 'does this turn me on?' but also 'who made this, and what message is it sending about sex, bodies, and relationships?' That's why we created the DoJa Scale and the Kink Machine as a rating and flagging system: to give people tools for better media literacy when it comes to porn.

Ethical Scale | 20 possible points

18+ Auto-fail* - under 18, or likely under 18 5 - over 18

Consent Scale

Auto-fail*

• rape; non-consensual sex; dubious consent

• non-consensual sex they’re eventually into

2 - blackmail or imbalance of power sex (age gap)

3 - consensual, after the fact

4 - consensual, but acting & saying they’re not

5 - consensual, up front

Familial Scale Auto-fail*

• blood-related immediate or extended family • anyone under 18

• adult step- or adopted siblings, no blood relation who grew up together or fetishize their sibling relationship

• step-parent/adult step-child, no blood relation who raised them, or is currently married to their biological parent, or if their relationship is fetishized

Degradation Scale Auto-fail*

• totally degrading, violent, treating the person like an object and not a person, racist/sexist, etc.

1 - consenting humiliation (it’s degrading, but they’re into it)

2 - degrading, but not so mean (like someone is a living doll or pet, they act like an object, they’re not hurt or spoken to meanly, but still not treated like a human)

3 - sub/dom style (there’s a contract/ agreed upon limits)

4 - dirty name calling/light humiliation

Kink Key Legend

Here at ethicalAF, our mission is to screen and review animated erotica and porn so viewers can watch responsibly without worrying about stumbling across something that will kill the mood. Help us by giving us a heads up on WHO’s involved, WHAT’s involved, and any FLUIDS involved in the video you are rating.

What is the Doja Scale?

We decided to measure the films on ethics and quality. We rate based on age, consent, familial relation, and level of degradation. And for quality, we measure things like character design, storyline, re-watchability, and erotic appeal. We want to make sure it's worth the watch, too.

Use it as a filter to track down the kinks you love or to screen out the ones that will spoil the night. Don’t forget to add your own review.
