Should half naked pictures of anime characters be marked NSFW on Lemmy? - eviltoast

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.

    As a huge Anime fan, with some catching up to do, I’ve blocked every anime adjacent community, because NSFW filtering isn’t applied as strictly as I would prefer, on the Anime communities here.

    I enjoy a good sexually charged image as much as the next person, perhaps more.

    But I scroll Lemmy in front of my impressionable daughter sometimes.

    I would like to catch up on Anime recommendations, here.

    But, to me, it’s just not worth the risk of suddenly needing to explain to my daughter why Faye Valentine’s parents didn’t love her enough to buy her full sets of clothing.

      That wouldn’t be an issue if you’d fulfilled your duty as a parent and educated her on the classics.

        You have a point, actually.
