I actively refuse to engage with AI content.

Okay, but then can you stop trying to use people talking about communities which include the ones you don’t want to engage with as a way to dismiss their claims as blown out of proportion? Maybe they’re just not talking about your content, or your content is being lumped in with the AI slop since there’s so much of it, and anime AI is getting so good these days you can’t tell at a casual glance.

I don’t maximize for that.

Critical mass.

You literally do, though. You just said you do. Everyone does, god knows I do, but I have the courtesy to marking my NSFW as NSFW since I’m confident that people who are interested in my content can just look it up. I don’t know why you think the people interested in your content can’t do the same, especially when you curate an extremely helpful list of communities related to the topic.

See, I don’t even care about this (beyond that I think the culture of ridiculously exploitative depictions of women in anime being defended as “not technically porn” is the root of some incredibly toxic aspects of modern culture, which is a completely separate issue I admit) it’s just bizarre how hostile people are to being asked to use the one tool we have to separate content.

Do you have an example beyond the one I made it clear I’m aware of? I block these too. They’re not popping up every day, which was your point.

Did you miss the part where I said I do the same? I’m simply do not agree that there is any level of sense in filing the entirety category of anime content on lemmy, under nsfw. That is completely insane. It’s an art medium, not a pornhub genre.

I’m not sure where to even begin unpacking the prejudice towards anime-fans here. Sure there are issues, but come on.

Because it doesn’t work. The NSFW toggle is used to tag porn, spoilers, nsfl, and many other things, yet at the same time a ton of people use and expect it to work the way “not safe for work” implies. It’s a mess. We need arbitrary tagging.

In the meantime using it more than necessary DOES slow down the already glacial growth of federated social media. That’s a fact, not an opinion. Suggesting it should be applied to an entire fucking fandom is not far off wishing that that the entire fandom not be allowed on the fediverse.

also you’re trying to conflate adult-targeted content with a long and entrenched history of sexism with music preferences, and I know you know that’s a false equivalency

What long entrenched history of sexism? Weeb=sexist now? It seems to me you genuinely hate us. As a whole and individually. You want me hidden more than necessary because apparently the things I’m into make me sexist or worse. And/or my sharing the things I’m into, spreads this sexism, and worse.

Seriously, are you actually claiming that having to view a couple anime girls before blocking the relevant communities, for which a convenient list is provided, is so dangerous and corrupting that it warrants the “warning label” that is nsfw being applied to every single related post?
