I’m very defensive when it comes to NSFW. But I think “NSFW flag with mandatory reason from a drop down” (e.g. nudity, sex, violence, gore, explicit-language) is the best solution which satisfy both. That is actually a great idea.

Where is the line between NSFW and XXX?

Nudity? Which nudity? Are nipples NSFW but vulva is XXX?

Multiple people being nude at the same? A photo of a guy holding his penis to masturbate is NSFW, but a photo of a nudist beach is XXX?

Sexual contact? A person is kneeling in front of a penis with their mouth open it’s NSFW? But as soon as they hold it, it’s XXX?

I’m trying to create a healthy porn community on lemmy. And the hostility of lemmy towards it is worrisome in my opinion. People are calling for de-federating lemmynsfw, people file false reports on my NSFW-only communities, the majority of instances ban porn,…

IMHO, there should be only two tags “NSFW”, “NSFL”. (= Not Safe For Life, meaning gore) There was this running-joke on reddit last year “when I was younger ‘NSFW’ on /r/all meant boobs, now it’s most likely a video of a bomb being dropped from a drone blowing up russian soldiers.”

I don’t think we should rate the degree of NSFW or NSFL. Where is the line? I assume a topless lady is NSFW, not porn. But is a fully nude woman or man NSFW, or porn? If it’s still “just” NSFW, what about two fully naked men holding each other penises? Or a woman on her knees looking at a penis without touching it, with her mouse open? This is a very fine line.

I’m in favour of most european broadcasting laws: visible nipples are fine as long as they’re not sexuality, but “16” or “18” rating is recommended. Visible anus, vulva or penis makes “18/Unrated” mandatory, whether there is intercourse or not.

I would translate this to lemmy to “anything with nipples, anus, vulva or penis visible is NSFW, regardless of intercourse” No grading of “NSFW” or “porn.”
