Imo the Internet was a vastly better place when everyone practiced personal responsibility and assumed that everywhere online was inherently wild and potentially unsafe unless specifically deemed otherwise, not the other way around
I don't disagree, but I also do very much appreciate a verbose tagging system (tumblr, e6, etc). Makes it easier to find what you're looking for, alongside giving people warning. Although I do think it's best to be cautious regardless.
I think tagging is a wonderful system and a great kindness posts can perform for the sake of others, but that kind is a choice and lack thereof is not inherently problematic. The absence of kindness is not meanness, it's neutrality.
I just want to be considerate, and it gets hard when the tags are black and white, instead of allowing for depth.
This I agree with, and I think your call for a "suggestive" tag is a great way to fill in a lot that missing depth.
I believe reddit had a system that allowed for communities to have their own tags, which i feel is a good way of crowdsourcing a system like that in it's abscence officially, while allowing for each community to have a level of depth appropriate to it's specific topic. Maybe I should ask around for something like that to be added to here? I know repost tags worked in a similar way on tumblr.
