> Etsy was a site heavily targeted towards women, and what was said about the sea of shirtless dudes and the dickfilter made me realize that in large enough groups and without any sensible moderation, both men and women will focus on their basest desires.
That’s not really what happens. Most users of a website are trying to use it as intended. It’s 1% of users who get a kick out of trolling a website with weird content. The difference is that they have a lot of free time and their content can be gathered randomly from Google and posted with little effort. Compare that to actual sellers, who have to actually make something and photograph it, and you can see why the low-effort spam content fills the site up despite being a relatively small number of users doing it.
