Hello! This is a really good question and I appreciate you asking.
The rule about style- and medium-related DNWs, similar to the rule this round about nominating Any, is there to avoid ambiguous moderating situations (for example if someone were to DNW anime style, then thought the way their creator drew the eyes on their gift looked too similar to "anime", and asked the mods to rule on whether the eyes are or are not "anime enough" for their gift to get tossed out). It's also there to reduce pressure on beginner artists who may not even know how to define their style or how to make adjustments to that style to fit someone's stylistic DNWs!
A digital blur filter is a specific enough DNW to be enforceable and more importantly, it doesn't actually impact the style in which the creator chooses to draw or paint their gift, since a blur filter is basically added in post and this isn't a manip/edit focused exchange. So I would enforce a DNW of digital blur filters.
