Having gone through the code a bit, the NSFW handling looks very baked in, so it's not a small ask. The smart approach would be to add an arbitrary tag system and handle it that way.
Is that the smart approach, or the easier approach?
I just got done reading a whole diatribe on how everything sucks because the code for everything is just duck tape on top of duck tape.

I love it when my tape quacks.
FYI it's duct tape. Duck Tape is a brand that sells a type of duct tape, among other tapes.
I actually already knew that. I think duck tape is more fun 😄
"Duck tape" actually has a longer history than "duct tape." While there is also branded Duck™ tape, duck tape, as in adhesive cotton duck, has been around since the 1800s or so.
I think it's both. Instead of trying to update the codebase with one new database attributes for each conceivable way to tag content, you simply put in facilities to abstract that - "show only posts with tag foobar", "hide all posts with tag foobar".
