I feel like the people for the idea are at least as, if not more, vehemently charged about what displays on a screen. Personally, while I dislike the idea, I wouldn’t really be that pissed if SE actually implements it, provided they’ve figured out a good solution that doesn’t hit all the problems people have already pointed out.
As for the guy who basically went “lol, by ur logic, we don’t need blacklists or profanity filters uwu”, that’s a false equivalent considering blacklists serve as harassment protection while profanity filters serve to control content that SE can’t manage (and not to mention is LOADS simpler to code; just stick every cuss words you know in).
Glams ON THE OTHER HAND, are all content created by SE. Everything is there because they want everyone to see and experience it properly. It’s completely different from players and their words, which are out of SE’s control.
And no, a glam that offends you isn’t “harassment”, so blacklist logic doesn’t work here. “Sexual themes” is listed on the tin, people. Frankly, if you can’t handle a bit of PG-13 undies, this isn’t the game for you. :1
Regardless, this still leaves the issue of wtf is the hypothetical filter supposed to do if someone is wearing the offending gear instead of glamming. I cannot see any solution that would not step on any supposed hyperperceptive person’s toes.
Naked? Defeats the point. Generic shirt/leggings? Gonna bug someone, I guarantee it. Big censor blur? That sounds like it’s going to be very visually unpleasant even if you ignore the sensory issue (which btw, I have where games are concerned; my game blurs on me in highly visual duties already and OUCH).
There’s really no winning with a glam filter because SOMEONE is going to be displeased.
And it’s for that reason I highly doubt SE is going bother at all with this. You can’t please everyone because censoring subjective fashion is not as simple as censoring objective curse words with question marks.
