Share your opinions about the sub – Post flairs and sex-repulsed vs. sex-favourable

Hello everyone.

One of the most common suggestions the subreddit has had is that we should create post flairs for "sex-repulsed" and "sex-favourable". (In fact it's probably the only common suggestion.)

Typically this is suggested as a measure to help prevent either sex-repulsed or sex-favourable users from feeling excluded.

In practice there a quite a few things to consider when implementing this change. This post is to help the mod team gather the thoughts on the community on the subject. For example:

  • Do you think this change would make users feel less excluded?
  • What do you think should happen to the existing flairs?
  • Should using these flairs be mandatory?
  • Should the rules for what comments are allowed be different depending on the post's flair?
  • Might there be unintended consequences? (E.g. sex-indifferent people feeling excluded?)
  • Any other thoughts or suggestions.

Edit: As a clarification, the flairs would be "sex-averse", "sex-favourable", and "sex-indifferent", which is not to be confused with the terms "sex-negative", "sex-positive", and "sex-neutral".
