Interestingly r/PICS still works despite being tagged NSFW (or so I thought?)

Yes, some nsfw posts go through. I assume reddit is using some kind of nudity detector. Or is there a 18+ flag you can apply independently of nsfw?

I think reddit has an internal distinction between NSFW and "sexually explicit", and it's at least partially set by the whims of reddit admins instead of sub mods.
