Re: Censoring genes/eye types on Discord

Yeah, I think this is what a lot of people just forget.

They see a huge list of things that need to be tagged and start getting into the mindset of every person who wants something tagged wants ALL those things tagged.

I don't use discord, but I do have things I don't want to see on FR.

The top of the list is spiders. Period. I have to deal with spiders in real life occasionally, so when I am doing my 'relaxing' by playing games, I do not want to have to deal with them there. But, I can use adblock to block spider images on FR, but since I don't use discord, I don't know whether I would be able to do it there, and even then it could come down to having to basically adblock every single spider image, since it works off of url, and if the url is unique, it doesn't matter whether it is the same exact image.

Next is keel. I do not like plague primal or shadow primal or multigaze, but I don't have any physical reactions to them, just a bit of disgust and desire to look away. Keel on the other hand makes my skin crawl. Like there are things on me. I eventually realized that Keel reminds me of ticks. Fortunately for me, keel is not a well liked gene and even with the reaction to keel, I can actually take it in some cases (like chocolate chip cookie, or 'baking' dragons)

Last for my personal issues are plague/shadow primal and multigaze, but again those are generally fairly easy to avoid and/or scroll/click away from when encountered.

I definitely feel that FR needs the ability to censor images for people who have that 'just one thing' they dislike and want to avoid. I know it would be a ton of work, but I do feel the pay off would be worth it.
