There ought to be something intelligent and abstract to say about filtering mechanism conflicts, but I can't think of what it might be right now. E.g., a mention once came up of os-tans on HN, someone said "What's an os-tan?", I posted a link to a page of OS-tans, and then replies complained that the page was NSFW and needed a warning. I was like "What? All those os-tans are totally safe for work, I checked". Turns out there was a big ol' pornographic ad at the top of the page which my eyes had probably literally skipped over, as in just never saccaded there.
That Courage Wolf video probably has a pretty different impact depending on whether or not you automatically skip over and mostly don't even notice all the bad parts.
And in another ten years a naked person walking down the street will be invisible.
Sometimes I fail to include NSFW tags because I use an adblocker, so NSFW ads don't appear for me.
Huh?! I wonder if this is another instance of Eliezer not realizing how atypical the bay area is.
Science fiction reference-- I think it's to Kurland's The Unicorn Girl.
