Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL?

I would have thought that such a feature would be completely uncontroversial. Really weird that some people seem resistant to it.
Most of the resistance to it on Reddit was because NSFL content was technically not allowed on the site at all and adding a specific tag for NSFL material could be seen at legitimizing it. But they didn't heavily moderate it either so I don't see the point in refusing a tag for it if they're not going to do anything about it themselves either.
What really blows my mind though is the subset of people that want a NSFW tag to mean Gore/Death and a separate PORN tag for titties and such. I mean, we already have established terms for those so why not stick with what everyone already knows them by?
I think the Supreme Court decided this issue in Bush v. Gore, and it's been controversial ever since.
Eyyy
Some people get off on shocking others with dehumanizing gore etc. when they thought they were in for a dick pick at worst.
