If you want specifically my opinion, I just don’t like that focus, I don’t find it aesthetically pleasing. Turning on rating:general filter on danbooru increases density of a good content, since artists here seem to more often invest in things like a good composition, neat idea or cool reference, instead of pleasing someones fetishes. Not saying that there are no good sensitive works tho.
If you want reasoning why are rules like that. Because this way they accommodate the most amount of peoples, assuming that sensitive lovers won’t get unhappy, because they don’t want to press the button. And NSFW mark doesn’t play the role of “the black mark” anyway, since such post are still getting good amount of upvotes here. Also I think that cherry-picking some extreme examples isn’t constructive, because the same can be done to the other group of peoples. Ironically, they seems to be more accommodated, since they can press the button and get what they want, while the extremes you are mentioning likely won’t be happy with something like: https://lemmy.world/post/19824550, https://lemmy.world/post/19799073, https://lemmy.world/post/19637909 .
Marking content NSFW when unwarranted isn’t inconsequential.
Lemmy allows users to completely disable the displaying of content which is marked NSFW, meaning when doing so, there is a percentage of users who won’t know it was posted at all.
Posts like this being marked NSFW is one of the reasons I can’t just use that feature to get rid of the actual porn I don’t want to see, and why I have to check every NSFW post to see what it is, including the ones I’d rather not.
And one does not need to be a sexual deviant to enjoy interesting compositions of the human body. I don’t enjoy this image I posted because it turns me on. I like it for all the other reasons that art is neat to look at.
There is no an uniform definition of NSFW. LW defines it as erotic or otherwise suggestive media or etc, which is left to interpretation. Being a community that is mainly focused on 2hu pics, it makes sense to adopt danboorus well explained definition with images having a rating. I don’t see a reason to introduce new system, which tries to follow flawed tagging system of Lemmy.
I know. But I don’t agree that the line between sensitive and general drawn by the booru rating system (or rather, the way it is sometimes applied) is one that translates to the line that makes the most sense on the fediverse for whether something should be tagged NSFW.
Sure, use the same words, but even that will be up to interpretation to an extent. They use the line “and anything else potentially not safe for work” in the sensitive rating which could be almost anything depending on who is deciding.
Their rating for general is “Nothing sexualized or inappropriate to view in front of others” which to me this image I posted fits into exactly. I wouldn’t be surprised seeing someone posting a photo of themselves, dressed and posing in a equivalent manner, simply because it looks cool.
Eventually, multiple tags should be made available, but until then we should do the best that is possible with what is here. By using our judgement and discussing it the way we are now.
