Yes, but as much as I despise people wearing dead animals, I also don't think it's that awful to see something like that in a scientific context on the internet.

    This isn't a scientific context it's a social media site :/ and I'm not asking them not to post it or cancelling them for it - I'm asking that they slap a nsfw tag on it or a content warning or something

    For me NSFW is something that can get me fired if somebody sees it on my screen during working hours or something that can put the consumer of the content at risk, like gore images making hemophobic people faint. I can see how this image can be a bit disturbing, but I don't think a piece of leather should be censored, as it dilutes the meaning for the tag too much.

    I'd then click on something NSFW thinking there is just another piece of leather with feathers under the tag... I don't think I need to explain this one.

    I mean yeah but Lemmy doesn't have other tags that blur the image so we gotta make do. And if you pair the nsfw tag with a content warning like "CW: penguin skin" then nobody is confused as to what they'll see if they unblur

    Systems built on unspoken rules break outside of isolated communities, considering this is very much a global community, I doubt such a system would work in the first place. Would be actually cool to have various degrees of warning tags to then choose on the client side what to unblur automatically and what not to, though.

    I'm not asking for a system, or a standard. I'm speaking to one person about one post and asking for compassion. Lemmy features would be cool, wider adoption of content warnings would be cool, but neither are what I'm asking for
