i think what most folks are saying about this issue is not that they are opposed to nudity, but rather the FORM/TYPE of nudity. whenst the Advisory Thumbs were being utilised, two things occurred...

first, you were not accidentally subjected to nudity whenst you were p'raps in a place where you need to be mindful of such things - for instance, if you were on your lunch break at work & were browsing...

secondly, you were able to learn who used nudity in artistic ways vs. gratuitous nudity, thus you could opt to pop or not pop into the image based on having knowledge of someone's style...

the way it is now forces gallery viewers into the 'all or nothing' arena, so it strips away the ability to essentially customise your own individual viewing experience in many ways, and i think that is more to the point of what the initial post is referring to [well, my interpretation of moriador's comments, so i could be mistaken...]

Exactly.

I don't mind nudity at all. But I want control over whether I see it or not, without having to censor my entire experience. As it is, the site is not safe to browse in public, unless you're willing to forgo everything even remotely risque. Whereas before, you could happily choose whether to click on a thumbnail with content warning or not.
