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.

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

      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”.

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

        NSFW would be a superset of nudity.

        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.
