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.

Which half?

NSFW is not safe for work, so if it wouldn't fly at work.... it should be marked.

what if someone works in a sex shop? (asking for a friend) /s

Sure, sex workers, morticians, first responders, doctors, AI Gore artists are all interesting corner cases

NSFW to mean implies the content that wont get anyone in trouble or fired.

He is my muse.

Still NSFW (in that case, not enough nudity)

Anime girls are the most oppressed demographic 😔

You know damn well how NSFW is applied on the internet.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Clearly we have a different understanding, how do you apply Not Safe For Work?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I've often seen NSFW used as basically just "contains nudity". You could have a woman in skimpy clothing shaking her everything in a manner clearly trying to evoke sexual thoughts, but because her nipples and genitalia are technically covered, it would get posted as "SFW".

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Sure, so you want a nudity/sex tag instead of a NSFW tag.

NSFW would be a superset of nudity.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Just because some people don't know how to use NSFW doesn't mean it means something else than "Not suited for work". Anything that a colleague, boss etc could see that would result in awkwardness, "the talk", is NSFW. Same thing for gore.
