NSFW Tag for drug use?
NSFW Tag for drug use?
Hey guys, it was brought up in a report that NSFW tags should be applied to posts depicting drug use. What do you guys think? I could see it either way and thought you guys might like to weigh in on it. I personally don't find it particularly offensive but my work environments have never been the type to react strongly to something like this popping up on screen (I think they might be more upset about being on Lemmy at all). Currently there is no rule, and I am fine with that, unless feedback indicates the community would rather play it safe and require the NSFW flag.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Lots of public advertisements depict people getting vaccines.
Oh no, it’s a needle!
People find spiders disturbing, do we need to censor those? What about people with dog trauma? You are extremely ignorant if you don’t think people can’t be traumatized by anything. Needles aren’t scary.
Needles aren’t scary.
That's a very privileged thing for you to say, I think. It's also a bit bizarre how much you've dug your heels in over this.
No it’s real life, people are scared by spiders. We can’t just stop posting them because a few people get the heebie jeebies.
Public advertisements show it, on the TV even!
You want accommodations for your fears, but scoff at others. You’re just a hypocrite, like I already explained.
You're a strange fellow.
I’m just wondering why you seem to have a specific issue with needles, but don’t seem to have an issue with pushing the same trauma if someone has a spider or other phobia?
I said everyone has a line, yours is needles, others is spiders. Do you want them to accommodate spiders and other phobias and traumas too?
I've explicitly said I don't have a phobia of needles, my point was any injury should be flagged NSFW.
You said you find needles gross, what would you call that other than a phobia…?
And since when are needles an injury? Needles are first aid, and first aid is nsfw…? That’s the strangest take I’ve seen in this post yet, wow.
Are you actually suggesting everything I find gross is a phobia? I also find vomit and dog slobber gross, are those also phobias?
And vaccines are first aid?
What?
So you would want dog slobber and vomit censored too? I asked a question, don’t dodge it. Those are even more natural bodily functions. Why are you so ashamed of the human body and its functions?
Of course vaccines/injections are first aid, a tetanus shot is one of the first things they give you if you get a laceration or stab from something potentially infectious. What about local freezing? Epi-pen…?!
