We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn. (kbin.social)

A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, I’m not freaked out about all that and I don’t feel the need to hide it from those around me usually… that’s all fine fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all.

Editing for clarity here:

Those are all things that might get flagged NSFW that I don’t mind seeing in general. I’m not uptight about it, it’s just a little different to be inundated with hardcore pornography like… while on the train.

I joined a primarily social insurance, kbin.social. I am very open to what is in my feed, sometimes to the extremer ends of that. I just believe that porn is a separate thing entirely and should be separated in some way. I’m not opposed to porn, but there’s a reason it had its own room in the video store. And if you’re wanting to look at porn, there’s a good chance you’re ONLY looking for porn at that moment.

Nobody ever said to get rid of the NSFW filter

I’m not an avid consumer of violence, I’m not craving it. A general NSFW is great, and I’m not against it. I’m not sure if you were trying to disagree with me here or not, since people keep trying to talk me into arguing points that I never actually had any intention of arguing I don’t even know what is directed at me at this point.

The number of false equivalencies across the entire thread here is wild, because people somehow think porn is under threat or something. I am a freelancer and look at kbin for fun at home, ANY use of social media while I’m actually at work is kinda NSFW because I’m supposed to be working. I browse the internet at home, where the eyes that might see my phone are a teenage son and a girlfriend.

Should I be browsing, and somehow the kid sees that there’s a news report or shared image of a dead Russian soldier on the ground, or a portrait featuring a barely visible nipple, he’s mature and I can contextualize that for him. He has seen R rated movies with sex scenes, whatever. None of that is a big deal. Hardcore pornography is a different deal. Any granularity beyond that is great.

Also apples are not oranges.
