A lot of servers have the equivalent of a #nsfw channel where you post dank stuff. I don't agree with the age verification approach, but I see why it concerns people. Discord naturally attracts a very diverse crowd, of which many are quite young. Walking into a random channel in your random all-ages jrpg server and finding horse porn might concern a parent. (This is a concrete example that I have experienced, not a theoretical one.)
And almost all of those servers have those channels marked as such. But when I set it as an NSFW channel, I didn't agree to demand my users' privacy be invaded. Now, I just remove the NSFW flag from those channels. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
