Imo the Internet was a vastly better place when everyone practiced personal responsibility and assumed that everywhere online was inherently wild and potentially unsafe unless specifically deemed otherwise, not the other way around

    This is a space for RPG memes, and the meme is covering a topic regarding oversexualized female characters discussing being raped by monsters with a dildo on the table. I’m not perturbed by downvotes, but I noticed them for just asking for it to be tagged as NSFW. I’ve had some rough experiences trying to play tabletop games as a woman and would ideally not have to be reminded of poor behaviour in a space that’s supposed to be lighthearted.

    I don’t expect everything to be made for me, that’s why I block a lot of ‘lewd’ content and a blanket NSFW block. I went through Barrens and CoD chat as a young woman so I know what you mean by ‘vastly better place’.

    Try and have some empathy for why someone might not want to see this content.

    Having empathy does not mean we have to work under the assumption that everything should cater to the most delicate of sensibilities (even if the reason for said delicate sensibility are well-justified). I am empathetic and I am sorry for the additional challenges navigating experiences like this can cause you.

    I still stand by my point.

    And to your point, yes tagging is a wonderful system and it does help those like yourself in your navigation. I support tagging and like OP mentioned, love systems that allow for robust tagging.

    But let's be clear, that kind of tag is a very kind and wonderful courtesy, the absence of which is not malicious, it is neutral.

    I don't disagree, but I also do very much appreciate a verbose tagging system (tumblr, e6, etc). Makes it easier to find what you're looking for, alongside giving people warning. Although I do think it's best to be cautious regardless.

    I think tagging is a wonderful system and a great kindness posts can perform for the sake of others, but that kind is a choice and lack thereof is not inherently problematic. The absence of kindness is not meanness, it's neutrality.

    I just want to be considerate, and it gets hard when the tags are black and white, instead of allowing for depth.

    This I agree with, and I think your call for a "suggestive" tag is a great way to fill in a lot that missing depth.

    I believe reddit had a system that allowed for communities to have their own tags, which i feel is a good way of crowdsourcing a system like that in it's abscence officially, while allowing for each community to have a level of depth appropriate to it's specific topic. Maybe I should ask around for something like that to be added to here? I know repost tags worked in a similar way on tumblr.

    I responded to who you agreed with. I won’t go into it further. Just giving you a ping, and hope that you can see where I was coming from. Didn’t realise asking for a tag was such a big deal, so honestly just gonna block this community.

    I'm sorry. I agreed from the perspective of being disturbed by watching spaces becoming increasingly closed off (Such as clasic Pixar films no longer permitting comments on YouTube), not from an angle of wanting to genuinely return to the kinds of communities that the internet used to be composed of. I do agree with you on tagging, I only wished to express a desire for a larger amount of tags for disambiguity, but clearly I clearly hadn't considered that in doing so, I was making the space unsafe for you. I originally left the post untagged because I hadn't thought too much of it, but I have now adjusted in accordance with your commentary. I am sincerely sorry for not working to accomodate your concerns. I'll exercise more caution in future and hope that this hasn't too harshly soured your perspective on what is, from what I can see as a visitor, a generally pleasant community.

    Hi. I think you combined comments of two separate people as coming from one person. My understanding is that OP agrees that your reasonable perspective is valid and reasonable and will do it's best to be considerate about things like that it in the future.
