Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

What's your hypothesis, OP?

I am not talking about that unless I have results to share. That would bias the results.

I did write them down and I did share them with a trusted contact who can prove that I wrote them down the same day I made this post. (While I did so before I made this post, I am not sure they will be able to provide proof of that, because I did so on the same day.)

OP are you interested in...?

Do you have to click through to see the post? Does the clickthrough contain the words "mature content"? Then yes.

OP are you interested if the post is about...?

Should I reblog this for reach?

Yes, please. I felt really silly when I noticed I forgot to include that in the original post.

Is it okay if I send you my own posts?

Yes, those are perfect for what I'm looking for. I actually need to do some processing on a post to make it useful for testing my hypothesis, and this makes it easy.

Are you looking for "potentially mature content" also, or just "mature content"?

I want both, please. Anything that throws up a blocking screen that you have to click through. The distinctions between them are one of the things I am hoping to study.

Does it matter when the post was made originally?

Technically no. There's no way to respond to this without introducing some bias in the results, and I don't want that. However, I do collect some data on a post as part of making it useful to me, and that data is easier to collect if the post is recent.

What if I request content label review on a post after I send it to you?

I need to see the mature content label to be able to use the post. Because the mature content label hides the content of the post, it is very hard to use a post that no longer has a mature content label. You could send me a screenshot, but people could use that to lie to me.

Basically, it's more work for you to make it usable to me.

OP are you a transphobe? It would ruin the experiment for me if you're a transphobe.

what’s their non-comfort reading?

are they reading feminist and anti-racist literature elsewhere? or are they just completely hiding in fanworks that have a comfortable form of misogyny for them (because yes completely writing women out of stories is misogynistic.)

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: reading is safe practice for life. it should make you uncomfortable sometimes. maybe the author has bigotry that you clock and have to contend with (people can be kind and funny and brilliant and sweet and profound and still have dogshit ideas about women and poc.)

maybe the book helps reveal your own biases. i grew up in a conservative culture, so a leading woman who used fantasy birth control and had sex with multiple partners in a normal healthy way was eye opening for me.

So yeah, when I get home, I read fluff. I read catharsis. I read happy endings. I read "[x] is revealed" fics. If a fic doesn't suit the 'decompress' need, I don't read it.

Same thing for a novel, if a novel makes me feel bad-uncomfortable (unenjoyable), I'm putting it down. No shame or second thoughts.

this is what i said in my original post. i’m highlighting that “comfort reading” is some people’s only reading, they use the comfort label as a way to avoid branching out or having to deal with uncomfortable topics.

you say your non-comfort reading and writing is at work.

cool.

as a human i am aware of therapists and social workers and human rights activists who deal with heavy things daily. many of them still read feminist and anti-racist literature. some don’t.

my point is that people sometimes get very defensive of their comfort reading, especially if that comfort reading is very narrow in terms of what kind of characters get depth and attention and spotlight. and there’s nothing ethically wrong with having specific taste. but if a person is only comfort reading and never branching into experiences or ideas that push their boundaries, they will have a narrower viewpoint and toolbox for dealing with irl difficult things.
