You can say I shouldn't be on social media at work as much as you like, but until you're writing my pay cheques, it doesn't mean anything. We lead different lives, you and I. I'm sorry that your work doesn't allow you down time at lunch, but try not to hate on me for working at a place that does.
All I'm asking is that folks use the Not Suitable For Work tag on things that are not suitable for work. I just don't see that as a particularly big or bad thing to ask.
What makes you so keen to see this stuff at work anyway?
I didn't say that. And I am completely allowed on social media at work. But that image wouldn't get me any heat for being on my phone. You are not the authority on what is and is not suitable for all work places and I'm glad that's the case because your aim is to create a more censored internet. Just because you are sexualizing that anime woman, does not mean we all need to.
But the NSFW tag isn't censorship, it's filtering. You can turn off NSFW filtering in your settings. You can unblur it all. J
ust because your workplace is happy for you to browse scantily clad women, doesn't mean most workplaces do. We're not all the same as you.
Scantily clad? What are you 80? Woman regularly walk about in public wearing little more than I'd what is depicted. I'm sure you think they're all hussies too dontcha? Such a harlot that cartoon woman. You're not winning here. Like I said, the image is only sexual if you sexualize it. You're the one with the problem here.
Women can wear what they like on the beach, but they would absolutely be sent home if they came into my workplace dressed like that, it would be deemed highly inappropriate, and I can't be looking at pictures of all that on my phone in my lunch break, it would similarly be deemed inappropriate.
I don't dress formally at work because of my own preferences for clothing, or because I sexualise people who don't, I do it because my workplace has rules about that.
Memes, yes, midriffs, no. That is all. I don't get why you find a formal work environment like that so incomprehensible.
Yes. One easily and simply solved with the Not Suitable For Work tag. No need to get all cross and condemnatory about it, just use the tag as designed and we all win. We can filter and curate them whenever we like to whatever extent matches our own preferences and situational demands.
