a very funny thing about content warnings for sex stuff, both here and on mastodon etc, is that they still create a massive ambiguity and thus ensuing gamble

because a poster might think "i should warn that there's dick here" when their post contains any of the following:

innocuous mention like "my dick itches"
overtly horny text
cartoon dragon wang
An incredibly high resolution close up photograph of a human person's genitals

I would never content warning for the first two

eevee @lexyeevee1/26/2024, 11:53 AM

imo no one should content warning for the first two

@enderlord991/26/2024, 2:39 PM

Disagree. They shouldn't get "CW:Penis" but they should get "CW:Penis Mention" in at least some contexts.

I actually used "CW:Sexual Assault Mention Mention" once. I think you know at least some of the context for this (it was the thing with F and Z that I asked advice on)

eevee @lexyeevee1/26/2024, 9:16 PM

the phrase "cw: penis mention" is itself a penis mention

and a little different from assault i think

@enderlord991/26/2024, 10:42 PM

The contexts to which I was referring are "whenever there is a functional, yet open-ended, tag blacklist system" in which case the content warning would be hidden along with the rest of the post and that is the whole point. I believe Ao3 has that, for example.

Yeah, there was no assault in that situation, sexual or otherwise; there was, however, something that counted as "sexual assault mention" which I then admitted to having stated. Hence "sexual assault mention mention" with the word "mention" twice.

i think if it's like, actual smut it should have a content warning

eevee @lexyeevee1/26/2024, 9:18 PM

i'm thinking more cohost where there's already an 18+ flag, so a cw wouldn't add much. like yeah of course it's smut that's the idea

Talen Lee @TalenLee1/26/2024, 12:09 PM

yeah and the system of 'we should CW all these things' ambiguates them and means that people CWing the first two that nobody cares about are making life harder for the people trying to avoid the last two.

Michaela Sue @beige-alert1/26/2024, 12:58 PM

My experience has been cohost it's a short text jokes vs. photos ambiguity, on mastodon it's all images of everything all being "sensitive content" whether a graph of data or a photo of a human vulva. So I set it to show all images because nearly all of the 'sensitive images' are household pets or graphs and charts and now and then I mute the Vagina Museum temporarily...

eevee @lexyeevee1/26/2024, 9:14 PM

yeah i have this problem with mastodon. every fucking toot on my smut timeline is cw'd but my only option is to disable cws entirely and risk all kinds of other surprises

shork @shork1/26/2024, 12:58 PM

"An incredibly high resolution close up photograph of a human person's genitals" would be a great CW

at least here even if a post is hidden behind the 18+ flag the tags still show up so you can kinda know what to expect if you read those first i guess?
