I say share it privately, unless the victims have asked it to be shared widely.

You realize a lot of revenge porn out there was coerced, right? Or the people were drunk, underage, in abusive relationships, etc…

Your post is essentially saying “you let yourself get photographed naked, deal with the consequence.”

Life is full of nuance, my guy. Instead of victim blaming, let’s all agree that none of us want to see/share NC content.

If you find a random professionally shot image or vid, it won’t be hard to ID the model or studio, as there’s usually a watermark. If the person was working, you can be pretty sure they signed a release for the photo to be put online. Whether that content was stolen from behind a paywall is another question.

If it’s an amateur, it becomes more difficult to determine. Here are some ways I think you can tell;

Likely Consensual:

• The person CLEARLY without question is an adult.
• They look like they’re having a good time.
• They know they are being photographed/filmed.
• They are sober.
• You have seen them post OC online before.

Iffy:

• They are intoxicated.
• They appear genuinely apprehensive.
• They are a random you’ve never seen an OC account for.
• Voyeur content (unless you see a studio tag, this very well may be illegally recorded.)

Likely NC:

• Amateur self shots of teens; a TON of this content is underage/illegal, especially pre-Pornhub and smart phone era.

THANK YOU for bringing this up @BabuKitten. The number of mod’s with god complexes on Reddit made me grow to dislike using the site.

I want community where everyone is on even ground. I’m not much into begging to participate, or having my ability to ripped away because of honest mistakes (& no chance for discussion.)

I think a problem w/ moderating illustrated content is not everyone necessarily knows the characters being referenced, and what their age is. That’s why community self moderating is important, even more so than just having a couple people trying to do it all alone.

Not sure if rhetorical, but I think most understand it pretty clear that no one is offended simply by short stature or flat chest.

It’s short + zero body fat (including boobs) + no hips + twig arms and legs + pigtails + school uniform + baby face + baby voice + childish activity + context clues as to being underage, etc etc etc…

We all know what it means.

Could something like how Mastodon handles verification be implemented here?

I like how that method retains our privacy (and our sanity, from having to take dozens of verification photos in various angles for picky subreddit mods.)

Even without a website to paste html into, something like, adding a user specific verification code into their public profile on an 18+ site where their ID has already been checked (if the user is selling on an adult platform, for example.)

Of course, this would not work for users without these pre-verified profiles, but I think it’s a good start.
