NSFW, Nudity, and the Sift: Pushing and then defining the boundaries
In case siftbot discards it promptly, I'm posting this message to archive/document the discussion on NSFW, nudity, and the Sift
The discussion from the Wild Things 3 video merits a permanent placeholder on Sift Talk, i.e., this post.
The rough consensus is that nudity in itself isn't a reason to get rid of a vid. People making out also isn't. Combine the two, and you're going into sexual territory.
In any case, aside from fully-clothed-kissing, you probably want to put an NSFW tag on the video. And if you're going into something a bit more risque, there had better be a valid reason for what you're doing.
Valid reasons include artistic/cultural significance and humour/uniqueness. Just because there might be a valid reason, however, does not guarantee the video will survive - Sifters need to agree with that rationale, through the blunt tool of voting, and the more nuanced tool of debating a vid in its comments.
This nuance means that if a famous pr0n scene is posted (B-list celebrity's private tape, whatever), just because it's (in)famous, doesn't mean it belongs. Hilarious bloopers that aren't in themselves sexual, on the other hand, are another story.
Elaboration, dissenting opinions and additional commentary is, as always, welcome.
