Suggestion: Better NSFW Handling?

[Gors]

(This is a rhetorical post to answer your question. I am going to use assets already posted in the site to validate my point.)

You replied to me that:

This isn't really a fair comparison. Some pixelated frontal nudity is extremely different than posting full-on porn and the sensitivity to both varies drastically.

Alright, this is partially understandable. Pixelart is often low on resolution to be actually graphic as you put but we aren't in 1990 anymore, and you'll find this in the database. In fact, it's one of the recent updates.

Spoiler

Videogame art has now evolved to accept all kinds of art media nowadays, so to say "it's just pixelated bazongas" doesn't cut it anymore. It's not Custer's Revenge tier art. Granted, I had to click on the notice to get this image, and I noticed that the notice has been lenghtened. so that's a good change

making the site difficult to use in the interest of protecting one or two people from seeing anything even slightly distasteful is taking it a little far.

Again, I don't know how site making works, you're focusing too much on my empirical/literal words, of course I don't want to make the site harder to use just because, as you put it, "one or two people" complained about it.

Also, in the same vein, "one or two people" is also very shortsighted because we have 7 billion people in the world. To believe that from this total, only a irrisory percentage of people will get upset is statistically not too empathetic imo. Sure, it was one person now. But are you willing to leave it as it is and risk getting more complaints? just because it doesn't have penetration it doesn't mean it is not porn, the picture up there was made with the intent of arousal.

This being said, I do not intend this system to be added to be 100% failproof. Of course little Timmy can come up with 1001 ways of accessing hidden data, but so is anything on the internet. But just because there's always a way, it doesn't mean that we should be lax. This is more to protect and give ourselves more reasoning should little Timmy's mom decides to upset us. We give ourselves more backup reasoning to roast Timmy and his mom, we win, they lose.

I particularly like the new message before clicking on the sheet, and for me the only other thing it needs is a way to toggle off NSFW icons. there are many options for this, either by hiding them literally or swapping the graphic with a stock [NSFW] pic like in KnowYourMeme/DeviantArt. idk which one is easier/less intrusive to the users; unfortunately i have no experience on this part.

That's the purpose of this conversation though - to find an acceptable middle ground.

Yes, talking about a problem is always a good method of solving it.
