Wired referred to Stileproject.com as a "shock site" in a 2001 article. The website assembled "vast visual libraries of any taboo or depravity that could be digitized." In the early 2000s, as "the Web's leading repository of crude filth – probably the most reliable source of tastelessness in the history of the Internet," its content was criticized for its shock value. Particularly, a video showing a Korean man killing, cooking, and eating a kitten was highly publicized and denounced by PETA, who sought a Federal investigation, which did not occur.
Open-source software and porn were "memorialized in J. Stile's hoard of erotic Linux Slut images". As the site evolved, surviving purported webhost troubles, a major hacking incident and by 2004 purportedly " grossing out teenagers anymore," the Stile Project's content grew increasingly pornographic.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“They tell us that women can bring better things to pass by indirect influence. Try to persuade any man that he will have more weight, more influence, if he gives up his vote, allies himself with no party and relies on influence to achieve his ends! By all means let us use to the utmost whatever influence we have, but in all justice do not ask us to be content with this.”
—Mrs. William C. Gannett, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 5, ch. 8, by Ida Husted Harper (1922)
“You are not satisfied unless form is so strictly divorced from content that you can comprehend the one without almost without bothering to read the other.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“How many persons must there be who cannot worship alone since they are content with so little.”
—Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
