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.

    I’ve had those disabled since the minute I got on lemmy, I just can’t abide censorship or, more importantly, wilful stupidly.

      Censorship is where the government bans books and libraries etc because they disagree with the ideas in them. There’s real censorship going on in the USA just now. This isn’t censorship, it’s feed curation - just some folks wanting to not have scantily clad figures show up on their phone in their lunch break.

      It’s not wilful stupidity, it’s wanting some good old random entertainment on a break at work without some colleague harassing you for an inappropriate image which you could have had filtered out if people who didn’t use the feature at all didn’t spend so much time arguing that the inappropriate image should be viewed by those who do.

      Calm down a bit and let other people use lemmy how they like. It’s a free country. (apart from all the real life censorship, of course, and the lack of bodily autonomy women have in the USA), all that kind of stuff.

      Summary: other people are different to you and live in a different context. Try not to be cross about this.
