The fact so many people are up in arms ITT and in the PGT is mind boggling (not necessarily saying you are one of these people). Discuss it, debate it, compare the merits of it, but holy cow man, how does anyone start to get all uppity and insult the mod team because they ***gasp*** put an image behind spoiler tags! Oh the huge manatee.

I really hope I am not coming off as insulting the mod team. That is the farthest thing I want to do here. Just trying to discuss openly (away from the actual game thread)
My issue with the nsfw tag is that I would be hesitant to a) click on most nsfw tags because I feel that is where the envelope could be pushed and you have no idea what someone may put behind there until it is clicked b) would hope that the PGT does not become a bunch of clicked spoilers to see the same 20 .gifs we have all seen for 10 years.
The slippery slope part is trying to determine what is acceptable/not acceptable as a baseline. As Photon said there will always be those who want to push boundaries. Let's be honest, that .gif is no worse then what you see in the paper for a Sunshine Girl (Do they even still have this? I don't know) or a cheerleader at any football or sporting event.
