RE: I just noticed I could embed vimeo.com videos as well not just youtube... [NSFW due to video content]
I flagged it NSFW myself. If you use NSFW as one of your tags it sets it so people have to choose to view it. No one at steemit did this.
The worst that would happen is if you did something blatantly NSFW and you didn't flag it as such people would likely flag it/down vote it as we do have some kids and such using this platform as well.
So while we do not censor, we do appreciate people using the NSFW tag so people can opt into viewing it.
Oh! good to know that now mate. I didn't know about this feature before. So, simply using the NSWF tag in your posts, you auto-censor-flag them? Uhmm, interesting. :)
I will have to watch the video you are sharing here entirely first. Just to ponder how prude you can go judging your own stuff. And then, in this way I will know how I should post mine. LoL
Anyway, I guess, as cheeky as my experimental essence tend to go, I probably will post mine without the auto-censor tag and test/check the level of general prudery of the powers-that-be in steemit. Haha!
Well in the early days the initial image for your post could be an animated GIF that would show up in the list of posts. Prior to this feature I once saw a pretty graphic blow job that people could not OPT into seeing.
It isn't really about PRUDERY for me. It is about people having the option to see things. I don't think forcing people to see graphic violence or graphic sex without them choosing to do so is a good thing. Like I said there are some kids on here too, but all they have to do at the moment is simply click REVEAL IT or go to steemd.com and they can view it anyway.... There is no censorship, but yes the NSFW tag was also created as we have had some porn stars on here before as well as members who woul post amateur porn that was full on hardcore sex. It wasn't censored, but it was hidden with NSFW and the posts still did okay.
Prior to the ability to hide posts so they had to OPT to reveal them such posts would be voted into oblivion, and they would make no money. At least with the current system they can still earn things.
The video I shared has full female nudity in several locations, as well as bondage, suspension, and some pretty graphic violence scenes that hint at cannibalism and other things. It is well made, and I stumbled upon it for the guitar work, but I am a fan of good artistic production, and of horror movies and literature. This qualifies as that... apparently youtube decided it couldn't be shown there, as my original link to it is gone... and I had to seek out this alternative.
