Back in the day, on other forums than this one, there were tags to differentiate between porn (nsfw) and gore (nsfl). This was nice for people browsing new that had no problem seeing tits, but wanted to avoid degloved hands.

Throughout the years, the NSFL tag went out of use. What happened?

    Anything that could actually use the NSFL tag is probably illegal to have on a website. There’s a reason why best gore and live leak don’t exist anymore. Hosting that kind of content is going to cause a lot of legal issues. I’m guessing no sites want to encourage that kind of content by offering a specific tag for it

      This is just bullshit. Not everything NSFL is illegal. Before I quit reddit, the only reason my r/all wasn’t having medical gore constantly pop up was because I individually blocked all of those subreddits as they appeared. If the NSFL tag was a site-wide tag option like NSFW is, I wouldn’t have had to do all that effort.

        There are more countries than the US. Canada has obscenity laws for example. I’m sure other countries also have laws about ISIS beheadings and mass shootings being shared online.

        I know that’s not what you meant but liveleak actually did shutdown a couple years ago.
