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
this is part of why I keep extolling the virtues of tagging for most stuff over content warnings/18+ markers. click-throughs are great for specifically things that would get you fired if you boss glanced at the screen or things that are going to be viscerally upsetting for a lot of people. but most stuff like "dick mention" or "hornyposting" can just go in the tags for people who care to mute or muffle. (this is also why it's polite to tag your posts even if you think they're unlikely to upset most people! you just never know!)
