Allow to hide NSFW even though I uploaded something NSFW

Hi! 

A few years ago I uploaded a game that's slightly NSFW (mostly for comedic reasons). Because of this I can't disable NSFW content when browsing. I understand this is on purpose, but I'd still like the feature to be able to browse Itch.io without porn everywhere. I can delete the game but it still gets some downloads sometimes so I feel like it'd be a waste.

So I would like the feature to disable NSFW content while browsing even though I've uploaded a game with a adult tag! I couldn't find a similar topic to this so I wonder if others would like the same.

I kinda understand the reasoning behind this, but on the other hand, this is a hack not solving the issue. A solution would be to enable it after uploading mature content and put an extra big disclaimer and do you really want to do this question when trying to uncheck that check box for mature publishers. 

In the meantime, you can always open a new private tab to be logged out for browsing. Makes it clumsy to put games on collections of course.

Please add this. I've been annoyed at NSFW in results for ages and I go to check settings to see if I can turn it off and I cannot because I apparently uploaded NSFW. After some digging I realise it is because of a draft of a game that I tagged as not suitable for kids/workplace because it contains doing drugs...

Thankfully because it's a draft I can just change that for now and be able to turn of NSFW, but if I ever want to actually publish it? I'm screwed. Either I don't mark it for the narcotic mushroom use, or I'm stuck seeing voluptuous badonkers all over the screen whenever I try to browse games. 

And honestly even for people who have uploaded actual NSFW games, that doesn't mean they'd want their browsing flooded with tens of hundreds of other NSFW games. This as a feature makes negative sense lol. 

Apart from fixing the problem by not forcing options, but explaining things better at the places where explaining need be done there is an additional thing they should consider:

An additional adult setting. Steam has like 4 mature settings. Maybe more. Too lazy to look it up.

You marked your project by topic, not by graphical matureness. While this is recommendable, the topics you desribe are also not what I would call non safe for work. Playing at work will get you fired at most places, no matter the game, but anyways, there are things not family friendly that do not involve things that will get your game's rating to be AO. I for one can do without a lot of the horror topics. I had a game with a suicide cover image in my recommendations. I would chose pixel boobs over that any day.
