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.

      It’s a fucking waste of everyone’s time, is what it is.

      The definition of “safe for work” is entirely subjective and will vary from one user, place, and time to another.

      The only ones with the information to decide whether to tag something as suitable or not are the users, and even our own opinion on what is and isn’t suitable will depend on where we are and what time it is.

      There is no possible objective consensus on what to tag or not, and there can’t be, so tagging will never work for the vast majority of users.

      Do you know what does work, though, with 0% chance of failure…?

      If you aren’t 100% sure that a site won’t contain anything unsuitable for your current environment… DON’T FUCKING BROWSE IT!

      It’s that easy! No tagging needed, no censorship, no nothing. No need to bother anyone else or demand of them to do the impossible and predict what you will consider suitable or not at a certain point in space and time.

      Just have some patience, exercise some fucking self control and personal responsibility, and wait until you’re in a suitable place and time to browse the fucking site!

        Everyone else manages this incredibly subjective confusing tag just fine . Weird

          We’re in a fucking thread discussing whether certain drawings should or should not be “NSFW” (an entirely subjective question on which, obviously, no consensus can possibly be reached).

          Y’all ain’t managing anything, fine or otherwise.
