Should we ban gore content? (lemmynsfw.com)

In this instance, should we ban NSFL, hardcore gore content? I think it's not a problem since anyone can subscribe to the community they want but if the vast majority don't want it, we can ban it. Decisions must be made from the beginning.

Here's a StrawPoll link.

Edit: Looks like we are going to ban it. Commenters are right that we cannot currently list NSFW and NSFL content separately on the homepage. Since anyone can open an instance, we should let other people to open an instance on lemmynsfl.com. Also moderating these communities can be hard too. So it's okay.

It really should. If you feel like "people consensually shitting on eachother" is the same as "people raping children" then you need to realize there's a difference between " I don't like this" and "this is illegal, rape, and deeply damaging to society"

Check out the work of Dr. Jonathan Haidt.

You'll have to be a bit more specific as I don't have time to read all of his works... is there a specific book, theory, or argument your referencing here?

If you're too busy, din't feel compelled. There's a lot of material. Here is a decent place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmz10uQsTYE
