In-line Adult/NSFW Expansions

Title:
In-line Adult/NSFW Expansions

Area:
Reading page

Summary:
You know how we can expand cuts in line? Yeah, I want to be able to do that with collapsed adult/NSFW content.

Description:
I love, love, love expanding cuts in-line. I think most of us agree it's an awesome feature for not breaking the flow of reading pages. However, collapsed adult/NSFW content is similar to a cut, but I cannot expand it inline. If I could do so, the entire experience would be more cohesive (not having to click through not one but two page loads to get to the content), and it would help me read the people who inexplicably mark their journals 18+ without having much of any adult content at all, while still letting me hopefully avoid entries people marked 18+ that I might not want flashing on my reading page every time it loads.

Because of the nature of this versus inline cuts, there might need to be an extra dialog to confirm expansion upon clicking. This still might carry the risk of people accidentally loading content they didn't want to see; that's about the worst drawback, but I think the advantages outweigh it.

I'm hoping that the infrastructure used to do inline cuts could be easily adapted to expanding collapsed adult/NSFW entries.

My "other" is cautiously in favor, if the implementation doesn't make me twitch. (One trick might be to have a setting somewhere (a tickybox in the popup?) for "don't ask me to verify my age each time" and a VERY CLEAR Cut as NSFW so you know what you're clicking on? But the setting, especially if not in the popup itself, is likely to be a Decision Fatigue tidbit.)

I do think the infrastructure used to do inline cuts would be awesome on NSFW cuts.

Tangential to the discussion at hand: Speaking as one of those people who "inexplicably mark their journals 18+ without having much of any adult content at all," I do it because I'd rather forget to mark something safe than forget to mark it NSFW since I do have at least one pre-teen who reads my stuff, and I do often forget that fact. It's very irksome, I know, but the practice does help keep cans of legal and parenting-style worms closed.

I'd love to be able to expand them, either individually or en masse, this way.
