look i get it

your "whole account is 18+",
but you're literally tagging some of your art as "sfw" while keeping the "18+ content" option checked.
please save us a click. it won't hurt, i swear.

also like

random sfw text posts, too

there's probably a technical term for this (conceptually adjacent to alarm fatigue?) where too many false-alarm warnings mean folks stop taking them seriously and they lose effectiveness, tagging sfw things nsfw inadvertantley makes nsfw warnings less effective

this is true, and also not relevant at all to the decision-making process here? yes, there will be minors who deliberately seek out adult content (just ask me circa ~2005-2011), but that doesn't mean using the flag is pointless. it does succeed in keeping out minors who have not deliberately falsified their age when signing up, and it places a signifier that "this post/page is not intended for minors or people averse to adult content". plus it provides some baseline amount of ass-covering. if i post a lot of porn to my page, i might rather that none of my posts, even "sfw" ones, wind up on the timelines of minors who then might click through to my Big Horny Fuck Zone

ultimately i don't think it's like, wrong to request that people in general be more granular about their use of the 18+ tag. but there are always going to be people who for one reason or another deliberately choose to leave the box checked 100% of the time and that's kind of just a fact of life on the modern mixed-use internet. "better safe than sorry" is the rule of thumb when you're on a website where minors/adults and sfw/nsfw content are all dropped into the same pool

yeah... I like to share things I find cute on here, and warnings matter for whether I feel comfortable doing that

this page of mine is not for sharing nsfw stuff, and if I share something perfectly sfw that has an 18+ tag on it, it always feels awkward. sometimes this is just because the user forgot to turn 18+ off for that one post; they might not know it's possible, or they might just be forgetful. I understand, there, this stuff can be hard.

but when every single post is like this and they don't want to turn it off? the message sent, to many many users, is not one of "this person is trying to send a DNI" but instead "they consider everything they post to be lewd"

and then you get people trying to decide why an image is considered lewd when it's just a transformation sequence or a cute furry critter person. and I worry they're going to interpret that as meaning anything involving those things is now automatically lewd. and tf and furry is almost all I want to draw...

They might be doing it by accident because if you have your blog marked 18+ the second you start typing anything for a post the 18+ box auto checks and they might've not noticed, or forgot to uncheck

"too many false-alarm warnings mean folks stop taking them seriously"

A friend of a friend flags all their Twitter posts as mature and I worry that someday I'm going to accidentally open an image of full butts in public because I assumed it would be a picture of their fully clothed OCs for this exact reason
