Polite request for Tumblr users to stop referring to Safe for Work content/blogs as "age regression."
Consuming porn is not an integral facet of adulthood. Reading kink fics is not an indicator of maturity. Obsessing over all things sexual is not a requirement for being grown-up. It's not childish to feel uncomfortable when someone brings these things up. It's not immature to want to avoid certain kinds of content on the internet. Whether you intend it or not, the term "regression" generally sends the message that anyone who doesn't want to consume sexual media is somehow "lesser" than those who do.
SFW has nothing to do with reliving the whimsy and innocence of childhood. It's about avoiding certain topics that many people just don't feel comfortable discussing in public or consuming media for. Implying that having these kinds of personal barriers is childish sounds hella predatory to me, though I'm sure that's not the intent behind the term.
TL;DR: calling SFW content "age regression" makes it sound like having sex/consuming sexual content is a mandatory requirement for being seen as an adult, and I shouldn't have to explain how weird and messed up of an idea that is.

S: So, you’d think after the 6th “no” he’d get the idea that I wasn’t interested, but he was persistent. Came back the next day with an axe bigger than you as a “proposal gift”. So I told him, fine, if he could beat me with the axe, then I’d take him up on the offer.
G: Is this my invitation to the wedding or a funeral?
S: Do I look like a blushing bride to you?

When are we gonna get a social media website that is like a member run co-op?A lot of people’s opposition to paying for social media stems from moral objections but if this was a website not being run for profit and in which the rules for allowable vs. objectionable content were determined by the member user base I feel like people might actually be willing to pay for it.
Also no ads. Could potentially have like a cheaper or free ad supported tier (idk how much truth there is to the whole you can’t get advertisers on a platform with adult content).
And a component of labor time which could be used to pay for some or all of somebody’s membership. Could potentially be some amount of moderation, ie reviewing of flagged posts happens by users.
in such a situation you’d probably want to have it be reviewed by more than one person to prevent this from negatively impacting user experience. if someone’s reviews are wrong too much they could get banned from doing reviews (and therefore from reduced price access) temp. ban and review of the guidelines at first up to permabanned upon multiple offenses. Potentially banned from the site. there could be other opportunities to incorporate user base labor.
the people that pay their dues and/or complete some minimum amount of labor hours are the ones who are the voting body that makes decisions. There’d have to be some sort of formal organization who domains and whatnot are registered to (hence a co-op mode or maybe a 501(c)7 which is a social club non-profit).
You’d need anti bigotry guidelines which were not alterable by the userbase to prevent a hostile takeover by the far right. Idk anything about web development or organizational management I just want to have an online forum that isn’t run for profit.
