KirStang was right to ask for the tag, and it was the right thing to do. The title of this thread, especially here (which has traditionally been a place for like-minded individuals to discuss the finer points of various weapons, etc.) does NOT imply nudity in any way, shape or form. When I first saw it, I assumed that it was about teaching women how to use firearms.
If this had been moved into the Fun Zone, you might have an argument. Since it remains here, you really don't.
For everyone else, I've dealt with it, move on. There's no further point in rehashing it. Discuss the topic, please.

Perhaps, but I make it a point of mine to detail it properly in my own "opening post (synopsis of aim)" (which I also may have the deluded notion that everyone here at the TFP is "required" to read the OP) at the onset to detail whether or not a particular topic will, in the future, contain depictions of nudity. Also, this isn't my thread, but I dealt with it in much the same manner, moderating myself in what I've chosen to display up until now, gradually building up to the "unsheathing". Furthermore, I find it to be in oxymoronic fashion that we've all the sudden adopted this all-encompassing, and vulgar (in my opinion, which serves for naught most of the time) tagging of 'NSFW' at the slightest hint of tits in any thread, even if it was just a one time occurrence in tens, if not hundred of posts, before and subsequently after, the alleged nudity. If topics with titles such as 'How do you like to get fucked by your partner?' are not marked with NSFW, how does a topic which originally started off by posting random intrigues deserve it any more?
Maybe it's just me, though. Perhaps I place too much emphasis on how a title appears, and how it may come to be seen when indexed by Google. I just have this weird tick when I see NSFW being placed on any random thread at the first sight of a topless female, whether intentional or not. Apologies if my need for clarification on the merits of why identifying a thread as 'NSFW' is necessary, and what it really implies.
