RE: Sexual Click Bait?

in #sex8 years ago (edited)

Oh by all means bringing in a personal opinion about how I view the world is 100% conflating and convoluting the issue, you're totally right. I guess let's stick to the basics which is what defines what is and is not NSFW? We can say anything showing a a nipple, ass or genitals is NSFW but then what about the grey area. The area where it's merely a tiny piece of fabric covering, what about if the fabric is see through, there's that grey area and it's always about the grey area.

It also seems like logical arguments can be made on both sides as well once we get to this point, same category victimless crimes fall under. It becomes really subjective, which goes right back to the question what constitutes NSFW when it comes to the human body and sexuality? Then we just need to make sure people tag it as such but the definition is the issue, should we take a democratic vote lol.

I would just like to say that even if someone down voted based on the fact they wanted mainstream appeal on the front page, they'd still be coming from a place of negativity. They believe it will hurt or harm therefor they believe they have the right to censor, still negative. Reasons are different but the come is the same, same principle when mother Teresa was asked if she'd march against war and she said no but she would march for peace.

Sort:  

You're correct to say NSFW is subjective. It's dependent on 'where you work.' and is a matter of degrees.

I'm not sure that the "coming from a place of negativity" argument holds much weight. People are often "anti" (opposed to) an action that they deem as destruction.
e.g.
Anti-war
Anti-bullying

Leaving the merits of the stance to one side, I'm not sure how much people can effectively be for something if they are unwilling to take a stand against it's polar opposite. For example, if I'm for the non-aggression principle yet unwilling to act when some is being bullied (through fear of being perceived "negative"), I'm an ineffective proponent of that value. As Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men [and women] to do nothing.”
