Consider making a global "no porn subs" rule.
Not some kind of puritanical general ban on even occasional tits and/or ass (to make a point or something). Just subs dedicated to porn / focused on porn posting. They're out of place here.
But that''s censorship!
The internet is full of porn. Porn is not in need of political asylum. You can find and post it all over the place. Even the scummy and illegal varieties (sadly) have plenty of dedicated websites.
So why post it here? What is even the motivation? Why make the effort, given the minimal audience for it here? This is not a matter of censorship. But of staying on point, and getting rid of junk and spam that just doesn't belong. Not to mention some of it could be legally compromising... and for what?
Awkward edge case: /v/DeepFake. Lots of porn, obviously, but technically more than that. Certainly has the potential to be used for much more. A bit sad that most people threw a fit over the porn instead of seeing the potential. Also arguably a political issue.
Alternatively: Differentiate between NSFW and PORN

You faggots are trying everything to pry open that censorship door from the porn angle, huh.
Not gonna work.
How about you take some personal responsibility for what you view and post more of things you want to see?
You argument is that you support the censorship of X because you feel is not an endangered form of expression. That is not the point you filthy, oven dodger.
Voat has three rules: No spam, no illegal stuff, no dox.

Who is "you faggots"?
And while I appreciate your vigilance, accusing someone opposing (((porn))) of being an oven dodger is rather ironic.
It's a suggestion, in any case, not a call to arms. I saw the remove loli subs post and wanted to see what people would think of this, fully expecting opposition. I expect most people will just downvoat the title without even reading the post.
I am surprised by the downvoats on the alternative, to separate NSFW from PORN. Why would anyone be so opposed to that? Just people angry at this one downvoting the other because I linked them / made them at the same time?
No, my argument is that it is not censorship at all. Baseless obscenity is not speech. It's spam-tier noise. And it is out of place here.
Who comes cough to Voat to get their fap/shlick on? It's just absurd.
It's like having a public town hall meeting to discuss... town issues... and suddenly some guy gets naked and starts yelling obscenities and humping the furniture. You'd kick him out. And clean up the mess he made. Of course. Why wouldn't you? Is that violating his rights to speak his mind at the town hall meeting? He had his chance to speak his mind, and chose to be obscene instead.
Yes. I know how Voat works. And this post is suggesting a change. Which is what this sub is for.
Besides, as I said, porn on Voat is effectively spam.
