your "whole account is 18+",
but you're literally tagging some of your art as "sfw" while keeping the "18+ content" option checked.

in reply to @yseult's post:
consider: they may not want kids looking at any of their posts
i mean you could always turn off nsfw clickthrough if it is that much of a problem
But then you still have to deal with potentially getting flashed by legit 18+ posts? Which not everyone wants that unprompted still.
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
