Less dismissively, if we begin to add NSFW tags to images of something that can be seen in any supermarket, by the side of any road, or during any walk in the woods, then we’re bubble-wrapping our existence—isolating ourselves from the natural processes of the world—to a ridiculous degree. My response to finding a desiccated frog in the woods is rather different from my response to finding a decomposing child would be, and I daresay that’s the way it should be. Ditto for photos of same.
