They occur in around 80% of Asians, and 80% to 85% of Native American infants. Approximately 90% of Polynesians and Micronesians are born with slate grey nevus, as are about 46% of children in Latin America, where they are associated with non-European descent. These spots also appear on 5–10% of babies of full Caucasian descent. African American babies have slate grey nevus at a frequencies of 90% to 96%.

Maybe flag this as NSFW?

i'm guessing that you're not writing about the article but the photo used in that Wikipedia article.

what's nsfw about a photo of a 6 months old baby, used to demonstrate the birthmark that's the subject of the article?

are even baby bums nsfw now?

NSFW it or I'll nuke it. The community has spoken. Nudity is generally covered in things NSFW.

Super cringe. I'll take the hate, though, if it means I don't have to look at an exposed ass unless I want to.

That's not what you wrote originally though? Don't write "the community has spoken" immediately followed by "I don't care what you all do, I do what I like". That's kinda the opposite of what you postured as in the beginning.

Or was that the royal We and you are the community?

And that's regardless of the fact that I agree that the photo falls under the original definition of NSFW.
