Hey guys, it was brought up in a report that NSFW tags should be applied to posts depicting drug use. What do you guys think? I could see it either way and thought you guys might like to weigh in on it. I personally don’t find it particularly offensive but my work environments have never been the type to react strongly to something like this popping up on screen (I think they might be more upset about being on Lemmy at all). Currently there is no rule, and I am fine with that, unless feedback indicates the community would rather play it safe and require the NSFW flag.
I’m not sure how you got here from there, but that’s a pretty weird take.
Many people, perhaps even a majority, are grossed out by needles, in a similar way to blood or other physical injuries. I think warning someone about that is only fair.
NSFW should be used to warn against things that are visually disturbing, not ideas or concepts.
And people don’t have trauma related to drinking?
Do we need to nsfw spiders? What about other phobias…?
What you find non-disturbing other people will. That’s a very ignorant take.
I don’t have any trauma related to needles, and I’ve had plenty of injections and blood tests over the years. I still find needles gross, like I would any other wound, and based on what’s happening in the thread, I’d say that’s a pretty common belief.
Yes and I’m pointing out that other people have other fears, which you’re ignoring.
Quite the hypocrite eh?
You mentioned people having a fear of dogs previously. Do you think a dog actively biting someone should be NSFW?
Do you not think a dog bite victim might not respond to an image of a dog the same way you respond to needles? You have a very ignorant view here.
