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.

When I say I don't have control over that, you know I mean that I am not in control of the feed or what is in it. Jesus. Can we not pretend that I am in control of what is posted to social media? Because you know this isn't necessarily about self control. If it were news sites and broadcasters wouldn't get in trouble for what they show.

Again: No one is forcing you to use the damn site at work. You know the site might have content unsuitable for your work, therefore you should know you shouldn't be browsing it at work. You can wait and do something else. Anything else. That's all the control you need.

And if you are unable to have this minimum amount of self control, then any consequences you suffer are entirely your fault and no one else's. Don't try to blame other people for your shortcomings.

news sites and broadcasters wouldn't get in trouble for what they show

What in fuck's name are you talking about? Other than probably you for being unable to stop browsing unsuitable content at work, who the fuck is getting in trouble?

Sounds like you want the NSFW tag removed altogether. I find it useful. You don't. Change your settings to not blur NSFW posts and stop getting mad at people who use it.
