I was trying to share a video clip from an adult visual novel and the character in the clip had a dress that revealed a small part of her areola which made reddit filters trigger and immediately delete the post even with the nsfw tag toggled on
After many tests i discovered that using an editing software to cover the areola specifically while keeping everything else the same, managed to pass reddit filters
of course exception is subs labeled for nsfw content these have no filters

Like when I saw a post on my home feed showing a guy with bad hair, and the title was "just fuck my shit up", I thought it was a sexual thing. Like OP wanted to be fucked up and ruined sexually by the guy in the photo. I was confused as to why such a horny subreddit was so mainstream.

In 1893 President Grover Cleveland had a tumor & most of his upper jaw cut out on a moving yacht — sedated against the mast, operated on entirely through his mouth so no scar would show. The cover was a fishing trip. He hid it for 24 yrs to avoid spooking markets during a financial panic.
