A Sensitive Question


Recently, art hosting websites DeviantArt and Pixiv have begun a massive campaign to identify potentially sensitive content, and sometimes the content identification system gets it wrong by erroneously labelling artworks that are obviously "Safe For Work" as having potentially sensitive content. In comparison, stock image hosting websites do not identify images of girls and ladies in leotards, swimsuits and bikinis as images that have potentially sensitive content.

However, underwear exposure from wardrobe malfunctions and pantsing have resulted in hurtful reactions. It gets worse when incidents of gymnasts having bladder leaks happened before, and in such cases, their leotards leaked. It is currently unclear if panties and leotards leaking due to bladder incontinence should be considered wardrobe malfunctions. If that is officially confirmed, then designers really need to design leak-proof gymnastics leotards, just as leak-proof panties and swimwear are designed for countering bladder incontinence.

Clearly, fanservice is not for everyone, mostly people below the age of 13.

Update: DeviantArt has removed their sensitive content filter and decided that only artworks labelled mature by the artists will not be viewable to unregistered users.
