Should half naked pictures of anime characters be marked NSFW on Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

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.

Why do these anime girls always look like they're in their teens? Extremely creepy.

Because the target audience is usually teens.

I recently discovered Korean manga.

A lot of comics and protagonists are college age or in their 20s, compared to Japan's 10 yo saving the world.

The most optimistic explanation I have been able to arrive at is that they are less intimidating for fragile male egos. However, I concur wholeheartedly: Extremely creepy.
