The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist

can adults have their own fucking space?

a lot of people are misunderstanding this post. minors arent taking away your spaces. the internet is not being made safer for children, it is being sanitised for advertisers.

And also: minors’ spaces are being taken away.

When I was a kid, “barbie.com” looked like this

But now, if you type “Barbie.com” you’re taken immediately to Mattel’s online shop, surrounded by nothing but “shop now” links and toy collections.

Disney channel’s website is now “Disneynow.com” which still has games and shows appropriate for kids, but is aimed towards a younger audience as it combines Disney Jr and Disney Channel properties, and the look of the entire site is very juvenile and not very appealing to kids in the tween and young teen demographics.

Nick.com has been similarly streamlined and is focused primarily on streaming its shows, and the only games still left are 10 apps that can’t be played on browser.

Kid-friendly sites like icarly.com, Poptropica, Club Penguin, Neopets, Webkinz etc used to be insanely relevant and popular spaces built for kids and tweens.

Now, kids are being funneled into less moderated, more exploitative, and more public spaces like Roblox (its dangerous and exploitative nature exposed in these videos from People Make Games: (x) (x)), Fortnite (known for its gambling and microtransaction issues), and social media sites like TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter.

My elementary aged cousins spend their time on Roblox, YouTube, and some less than reputable game sites that are full of ads and stolen/reposted/reskinned games. My sister was on Musically/Tiktok and Twitter in middle school. They don’t have the same options for having fun online that I did when I was a kid, especially not when they get too old for nickjr and disneynow.

The internet has been condensed into about 5 popular sites that are full of ads, and it’s not fair to anyone.

see the whole thing about artists and writers wanting reblogs over likes often gets framed as increasing exposure or more notes or positive reinforcement or whatever

but really I think the thing that’s missing is that people want engagement? I don’t particularly care if only five people see something I’ve made if they make some kind of comment or ask a cool question or whatever. A lot of us make stuff because we want to share something we love. When everyone just kind of goes 👍 it’s basically the same as bouncing ideas around your own head and not sharing any of it so. Why bother lol

Remember, NSFW is not an abbreviation for nude that somehow has more syllables. It's shorthand for "If my boss happened to look over my shoulder when this was on my screen, would there be consequences?"

This is subjective, and depends on the boss and the job, of course. But many, many images that contain zero nudity are still very much NSFW (and sometimes, images with nudity aren't!) Consider this.

just goes to show how young the population of the internet is nowadays. nearly everyone that was into the internet for real in the early 2000s knew this kinda stuff

I need people to know that sometimes people tag your stuff as 'NSFW' not because they think a trans body is inherently sexual or something, but because even tasteful nude is still "My boss is going to ask questions if I don't close my browser fast enough"

image quite literally heavy

0.018 eV (2.9×10^−21 J) per bit, Landauer’s principle at room temperature. 48.7 terabytes to 3.896x10^14 bits * 0.018 eV per bit / c^2 = 1.250145x10^-20 grams. Using atomic mass units: 7528.55 u. This image weighs about as much as 7 molecules of oxytocin, and would not be categorized as a small molecule drug, being too large to easily diffuse across cell membranes.
