every once in a while I spot something that's cute or funny or just plain cool that I want to boost on here, but the artist labeled it as 18+. sometimes I boost it anyway after double checking, because they clearly just have it as default and didn't fix it. but when it's an entire chain of self-reboosts that are all like that, sfw-yet-18+, I get left with the feeling that they're deliberately leaving the checkmark on.
I used to ask folks who left it on if they could take it off, but found that if they don't know me, they'd usually outright ignore that request. so now I just don't bother. we've got new folks coming in from sites where you can't turn that on or off on a per-post basis, so I'm not sure how they would respond to a comment of "hey this doesn't need an 18+ marker, you can uncheck that on the post in the top-right corner of the composer, even when editing". I don't want people to be upset at me for no good reason.
this site being one of the very few that allows 18+ content but also lets you selectively post with the tag on or off depending on what you're putting out there is immensely freeing for a ton of people. this page is probably never going to post content that'd need that click-through, but I still appreciate the option being there for others! I just wish I knew how we could let folks know, who just don't know they can do it.
please please please uh. don't 18+ tag your sfw content. that just weakens the meaning of the tag for everyone
