It seems like a little bit here and there is ok with everyone, just like a profanity here and there usually goes without complaint.
I guess people's thinking is if we have an NSFW section, then that will bring in more NSFW content.
It's like an NSFW thread here and there pushes the boundary of the rules a little bit, which is OK every once in a while. But if you have an NSFW section, that pushes the boundaries out a lot farther to start with, so content that pushes those boundaries will start to show up.
Like when the speed limit is 45 everyone goes 60, but when it is 75 people go 90.
Hope some of that makes sense.
I will take a stab at it.
See, when you have a thread titled "Chicks with guns", it wreaks of common sense. I mean, most people know what is inside the thread so they can safely steer around it. On the other hand, creating a section just for NSFW lays a subtle message that I personally don't think this particular forum has a flavor for. Again, thats just my opinion. It's not holy, righteous or the only way.
My thoughts exactly. If there is a forum for NSFW then that is inviting material that is far worse than a girl in a bikini with an AR-15. I'm afraid it would send the message that "whatever goes".
