The moderators on r/netsec seriously just flaired my blog post about end-to-end encryption as NSFW... Why? https://old.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/jtykce/going_bark_a_furrys_guide_to_endtoend_encryption/ …

Same energy as any cartoon with gay characters being accused of being pornographic by 'concerned parents'

I don't agree with the inherent labeling of the link as NSFW, because it's not, but a cartoon that has gay characters as an incidental aspect of it versus a community that has heavily involved poorly-drawn lewd images for 30+ years kind of beggars belief.

Think you forgot some words there. In any case, I don't see the relevancy of that at all. I'm sure you're well aware that (a) the article doesn't have any lewd images in it and (b) associating entire communities with sexual behaviour like that is literally what I'm talking about

For many years the struggle has been: Character: "I'm a programmer." Audience: "Cool." Character: "Also I'm gay." Audience: "Nooooo think of the CHILDREN! We can't expose them to THAT! [They might learn tolerance!!!]"

Exactly, and it's sad to me to see supposedly educated and open-minded people replicating those same attitudes. Putting a veneer of it being content moderation or something over it is just a lie, because there isn't anything to moderate on that article or (afaik) your site at all

I wonder if it would make their heads spin that alot of computing history is really gay. Alan Turning was gay and contributed alot to early computing.

They would have been on the team forcing him to take the injections that drove him to suicide.
