RE: Hi:) I'm HALO

When was the #nsfw tag put in? My understanding was that it happened right after girlsgonesteem-nsfw was created two months ago or more. That's when Dan asked us all to use it. All of my fake ads in ggs were tagged with #nsfw (as is the category) since they were created and never showed on the feed afaik. Please correct me if that's wrong.

I'm wondering because you downvoted my post clearly marked as #nsfw and is in ggs, which is also marked nsfw, so the post was not showing on the feed. The only way to view those post is to intentionally go into ggs to view the post there. Doing that is no easy chore considering the ggs category doesn't appear in the right side list any longer and won't even show up if you type it in the filter.

So if it's not an issue for you if a post is tagged nsfw, why did you downvote my post? I've always been curious. Thanks!

Sort:  

because in early days in steemit, the nsfw was not filtered out. I was forced to look at it, and it really disturbed me, just like a lot of women have same feelings as me.
After the blow up, the devs changed the nsfw to be filtered out, hidden. But it was NOT HIDDEN in the very beginning and I was really afraid that I would not be welcome in Steemit. The reason? Because I am a woman who has a brain, an opinion and a woman who refuses to become a sex object for men. Those early days are gone. We are friends now, Tuck, I think.
I also have become very very very tolerant of sexuality, even writing about the topic. It's like I moved somewhere to the center, not really being bothered too much about porn, and all that I request is that men who victim blame and punish women for telling their stories of being raped, shut the fuck up, or just get out of steemit. Steemit is based in non-violence, so there are solutions, but abusing a victim and making her suffer is not acceptable. That's violence, actually.
I think you and I have come a long way, because I hated you in the beginning. I see you as a whole person now, and I also view you as part of my alliance. I like your work here in steemit.

Does that answer your question?

We are friends now, Tuck, I think.

A friendship takes two and your side is entirely up to you. I'm simply asking questions. When someone downvotes me, even (or especially) a friend, I want to know why. I'm not satisfied with your answer, because nsfw was implemented long before the downvote happened, but I'll let it go and move on. :)

So someone can not be beautiful and sexy and still have a brain and an opinion??
