  • There is no an uniform definition of NSFW. LW defines it as erotic or otherwise suggestive media or etc, which is left to interpretation. Being a community that is mainly focused on 2hu pics, it makes sense to adopt danboorus well explained definition with images having a rating. I don’t see a reason to introduce new system, which tries to follow flawed tagging system of Lemmy.


  • If you want specifically my opinion, I just don’t like that focus, I don’t find it aesthetically pleasing. Turning on rating:general filter on danbooru increases density of a good content, since artists here seem to more often invest in things like a good composition, neat idea or cool reference, instead of pleasing someones fetishes. Not saying that there are no good sensitive or questionable works tho.

    If you want reasoning why are rules like that. Because this way they accommodate the most amount of peoples, assuming that sensitive lovers won’t get unhappy, because they don’t want to press the button. And NSFW mark doesn’t play the role of “the black mark” anyway, since such post are still getting good amount of upvotes here. Also I think that cherry-picking some extreme examples isn’t constructive, because the same can be done to the other group of peoples. Ironically, they seems to be more accommodated, since they can press the button and get what they want, while the extremes you are mentioning likely won’t be happy with something like: https://lemmy.world/post/19824550, https://lemmy.world/post/19799073, https://lemmy.world/post/19637909 .

    So no focus on …

    Please see https://safebooru.donmai.us/wiki_pages/howto%3Arate and rating of a specific picture.



  • I think danbooru rating system is fair. I want to avoid images focused on some human body parts or something that can’t be comfortably seen in front of other peoples. For example, this picture is clearly focused on lower part of Youmus body, judging by camera angle and amount of pictures space the mentioned part takes.
    About mentioned post. In the past danbooru had Safe rating, which included todays General and Sensitive pictures. After change in rating system, Safe pictures ended up in Sensitive group. It’s just no danbooru contributor stumbled upon it yet.
