I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.
However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.
Discuss.
Still clearly not safe for work.
Doesn’t really seem like it. It’s a belly button. It’s not even a provocative or suggestive pose.
Try showing it off at work. Set it as the wallpaper on your work computer and see how “safe for work” it is then.
This would hardly raise an eyebrow. Again, it’s a belly button.
The point is that if you are seeking consensus on this around the most conservative interpretation of the concept, you will likely not find it. You are responsible for curating your own internet experience.
Work culture, especially in the US, is very conservative. The fact that you don’t understand that it’s better to be more conservative here regardless of consensus is astounding. Understand that the NSFW flag is a curation tool. You seem to think it’s a form of censorship. It’s purpose is to deal with the ten per cent on the far end of the spectrum who would take offence. And if your retort is that the majority shouldn’t have to accommodate the minority, that’s just a terminally online opinion that fails to recognise the fragility of real human interaction. It’s analogous to saying that bridge engineers shouldn’t have to accommodate the heaviest ten per cent of vehicles when figuring out what its maximum load should be when accomodating “most” vehicles is enough and that those vehicles should either lighten their load or find an alternate route.
I’m not going to argue with you over this because I don’t believe you have the foundational understanding of why things are what they are.
I work in the US. This is a belly button. Yes I am quite skeptical that a picture of an anime character would course any fuss just about anywhere.
You also don’t have to show your phone to your coworkers. What’s astounding is that you apparently cannot conduct yourself in public.
None of Lemmy is safe for work.
When you’re at work you should be working, not wasting time doomscrolling.
Either mark every single post as NSFW, or none of them, same difference.
easier with the bootlicking champ. why would you say this to anyone?
Hey, if you don’t want to work, don’t, but don’t blame lemmy when you do something not allowed by whatever contract you signed.
The concept of “not suitable for work” is absurd by definition; if you signed a contract that will get you penalised if you browse a certain type of content, just don’t browse sites which might contain that type of content while you work, it’s not rocket science, just basic self control.
Lemmy and the internet ain’t your nanny, if you’re working you’re hopefully an adult, so be responsible for your own actions and don’t try to switch the blame onto unrelated third parties.
This is a facetious argument and you know it.
No, I’ve genuinely never seen the point of NSFW tags.
If you’re worried about NSFW tags you shouldn’t be using the resource that might have them under whatever circumstances are making you worry about NSFW tags.
Have some self control, the internet ain’t your nanny, take responsibility for what resources you use and when, don’t try to shift the blame onto the people providing you with said resources (and for free, no less!).
You’ve basically just excluded ninety per cent of the Internet from being used. And it’s not surprising that this is coming from someone with an account on the lemmynsfw instance.
If everyone followed your logic, you wouldn’t even be posting this because your instance would have been defederated a long time ago to not lose users.
I’m excluding 99% of the internet from being used in specific circumstances, sure. Or rather pointing out that it’s the users’ responsibility to do so, since no one else can know what is suitable or not in their current specific circumstances.
If you can’t wait to browse something that might contain something unsuitable for your current circumstances until you find yourself in circumstances where it’s suitable that’s on you, not on whoever is producing or serving said content.
