For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?

    It would be wonderful with something more granular than “NSFW”…

    I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".

    Examples:

    • Content Warning: nudity - might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn’t porn, but there’s exposed genitals, butts or breasts.
    • Content Warning: porn - you can probably guess…
    • Content Warning: gore - images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.
    • Content Warning: death - images with people dying, but without gore.
    • Content Warning: blood - images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)
    • Content Warning: violence - people fighting, but without turning bloody.

    These could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.

    EDIT: added violence by request

    I think a tag system as suggested by others makes the most sense, as NSFW and NSFL aren’t mutually exclusive.

    I would have thought that such a feature would be completely uncontroversial. Really weird that some people seem resistant to it.

    Why can’t people just not look at the name of the community and then easily conclude if it’s sexual content or gory content?

    Edit: Seems my English skills fucked me over.

    Wouldn’t it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. “Sexual content”, “Gore”, “Death”, “Violence” or for content that you truly want to avoid; “US Politics”.

    Also NSFV for not suitable for vegans for anything involving animals, meat, or animal processing. That way we can tag those posts and if they complain about them we know they’re just raging because they’re insufferable assholes.

    EDIT: Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that all vegans are insufferable assholes. I know a bunch of vegans who are awesome people. I’m just suggesting that the ones who rage at people who don’t share their beliefs and who try to shove their beliefs down other people’s throats are insufferable assholes.
