I assume it was taken down as not marked nsfw. I thought it was only for explicit content, I'll be more strict in the future
Most likely, but I still wish I could sentence you to horny jail
It had gotten a few reports. I asked in the comments for repost with NSFW. It seems like everyone has different views of what it means to be NSFW (I got yelled at a few years ago for daring to ask about a sfw aphrodite mod for Hades that I ended up figuring out myself).
I was saying on the original comment that showing this at work could potentially lead to a sexual harassment case and so it should be considered NSFW. I waited a few hours for a response and got none so I just removed the post.
That's a good indicator for whether something should be marked NSFW or not. If showing the image to someone could be considered workplace harassment, you should probably mark it NSFW. The lines are pretty blurred, but it's just marking a post so it's better to air in the side of caution.
On Reddit, there used to be r/19684 for a non-horny 196 so it mattered less because the people that didn't like the horniness had a separate space. I'm down for a good hornypost, but I also recognize that we're now sharing a space with people who made an entire different subreddit to avoid the hornyposting. Especially with how touchy or painful sex as a topic can be to some people, I think it's just important to be cognisant of our posting on a platform with no algorithm where every one of our posts are initially equal in visibility.
Fair enough. I wasn't on original 196, so I didn't know that
I gotcha! My horny jail comment was a joke, horny jail is just a funny concept to me, not trying to make you feel bad about a post or anything. I find the post funny. I'm also not a mod, just someone that tries to be articulate about things that are troublesome to the community as a whole since I've been on 196 and adjacent communities for quite a while and know the things that will cause stirs long term.
I'm certainly never gonna make some meta post about anybody, but regardless of what the post is about or where it is, I don't think anybody ever wants to be the subject of a metapost because they were shitposting. I just let people know about the small things that have unexpectedly blown up into big things in the past. It's not fun for anybody.
