I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.

However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.

Discuss.

  • It would be great if everything could be classified in this way, but is it practically possible to apply a more complex system like this across instances, given that we struggle with the simpler NSFW tag?

      The reason why people are struggling with one tag may also be exactly because it’s only one tag.

      It’s difficult to categorize gray as black or white, after all.

      Imo, the real issue is how not to go overboard, adding more and more tags, and keeping things easy to filter.

      • Perhaps. I’m not expert but I’m just not convinced you’d get good compliance across instances.

        After all, even minimal non- compliance makes the whole thing pointless

          Can’t the same be said about what we have right now, though?

          No system is flawless, but you’d be surprised the lengths people will go to uphold the ones that work.
