there are currently 282 drawings (and other artstuffs) in my gallery......................................... do I hate myself enough to manually categorize them all to make a filtering system................
It's one of those things where, when it's set up and running, it'll be pretty easy to add something new, and you'll probably be happy that it exists... but... the CREATING it part and adding each piece into that system is... quite daunting, so I'd personally completely get it if you don't wanna bother.
I've had similar issues creating a "Calm" version of the site so it can be more inclusive of folks who don't find my aesthetics calming like I do... but that shit's hard. I'd say the simplest solution is having a 18+ check that you have to click to show anything in the entire gallery that is NSFW then at least it's the USER who decided to see it. Same thing with gore, right?
On my site I have blur filters that disappear when you hover over the art, with notes around saying that that's what'll happen. So maybe something like that could be a simpler solution so folks are deciding to uncover anything that might be upsetting.
the 18+ check sounds like a good solution! I used to have blur filters but something about it made me irrationally angry XD. finding a balance is hard! and creating a calm version of your site sounds like a TON of work, good luck o7
i really appreciate this conversation because there are certain whole sites i can't look at because they make me feel legit sick or somethin. and i ain't lying. but i always feel bad, y'know, it's not really their fault, or mine?? i actually don't think i'm entitled to everything being accessible, because nobody is, but i appreciate it when ppl think of it on their own

oh yeah absolutely, once its running it'd be super easy it's just going through the whole current back catalogue will surely be hell XD
eh alsoooooooooo I don't know how I would age gate the 18+ stuff. (I do try to be *somewhat* responsible haha)
