Should we ban scat fetish? (lemmynsfw.com)

As admins, we removed the scat communities, thinking that scat was covered by the NSFL. However, some people have opposing views on this matter. What do you think about it? If people want it allowed, then we can restore content.

Edit: My answer for friends in the comments; The main reason NSFL was banned is because we currently don't have the tools to separate porn from NSFL. I'm in favor of the ban because I think its the same way in scat. If we had enough tools right now, we wouldn't be ban the NSFL either. Although, I agree that voting for niche fetishes doesn't make sense.

Edit 2: Also I don't want to think about shit anymore. I'm out 😀 https://lemmynsfw.com/post/117500

Tbh I'd rather not see it, and feel like it falls under nsfl (which doesn't have to be illegal either).

I understand that it's a thing, but as someone else described it, it's like nsfw+. There's a huge range of nsfw from bikini shots to this or other stuff.

I guess I can always just watch the subscribed feed but that prevents natural discovery, and it's not the default.

So I suggest... Asking people to refrain from posting it for the time being until better filters exist. It's not exactly fair I know, but it's not like it's the only category that's questionable like that.

The problem is that some of the categories of images that people might not want to pop up in their feed are very vanilla, e.g. dick pics are not kinky or extreme, just not something a lot of straight guys and lesbian women want in their feed. So should they also not be posted? What about feet? Some might not want giant pictures of feet on their screen. Or maybe rough sex? Some people also really don't like cuckolding, so no pictures with captions or post titles for that? Where does it end?

Sure but then on the other hand, gore is banned, and that can exist in artistic nsfw forms too.

It's not everything or nothing. Or if it is, then I'd rather have everything.

I don't have anything against any kinks, I just think there are levels to it and scat is beyond the line of comfort of most people. There are loooots of categories that probably wouldn't even make it to lemmynsfw so it's not like I'm singling out just this.

That doesn't make it bad, it's just something I suggest showing only to people who actively look for it. And Lemmy doesn't have such tools at the moment.
