or maybe I won’t filter it, because the good stuff doesn’t deserve to be blacklisted.
 
but I do think there are times you can objectively tell art is glorifying something. tagging is insufficient because complex grammar is really hard to do. it’s not insufficient because art is above judgement or too far out man to be categorized. it’s just nobody’s gonna tag everything with both “something” and “glorification of something” for every something.
 
the only real trick is ironic glorification, like how I think this is awesome and hate everything it stands for: >>1479897 (merged)  
I don’t know about art, but irony truly is something that defies categorization.

Tags can only be so useful. Art is inherently ambiguous and tags will never sufficiently “objectively” describe any image in a way that nobody finds objectionable or insufficient.
 
You’re going to have to blacklist what is literally actually happening and not any inferred emotional content or message thereof.

it’s the glorification that bugs me honestly, not the bad end happening. a lot of bad end pics are hilarious, and I wouldn’t want to miss them, like this for instance: >>1608757  
and a lot of bad end pics are actually bad like >>1544596
 
I just don’t want the pics where they’re acting like the bad thing is a good thing, for certain “bad” things. “glorification of thing?”
 
there’s probably no way to do it. I’m just being picky and if I want to laugh at stuff like this >>1589102 I have to put up with all that glorification of horrible cruelty.
 
there’s also the problem that a lot of people making this stuff don’t tag the pic with “bad end” because they really do think stuff like >>2223568 (merged) is a good end.

Whitekitten is a user on this site who frequently commissions snuff, rape, and gore pictures, enough to justify having their own tag to aid in filtering it.

What does “whitekitten” mean, anyway? Also, pretty sure there isn’t an overarching tag for this, so you’ll have to filter stuff like “zebra supremacy”, “utopia planitia”, etc piecemeal. Or discuss a tag like “abuser power fantasy” to apply to all of them.

That would cover most of it, to be fair.
 
bad end probably covers a significant chunk of it as well. Probably.

what’s the tag filter where you like some pictures of bad things, but you don’t like pictures glorifying bad things? is it even possible to filter? (is it even possible to tag?)
 
like maybe you love a picture about someone being horribly abused, because it’s super tragic, but you don’t like pictures about people being horribly abused where the abusers are the heroes who always win with no consequences? (except when it’s funny?)
 
I am seriously drawing a blank here. “evil empire fantasy”? “subjugation fantasy”? it’s not just “subjugation” because there are good pictures of subjugation where it’s drawn as a bad/funny thing. nobody tags subjugation anyway. “bad is good?”
 
“whitekitten”?
