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.
Op, if my HR dept saw me scroll by that pic… It would be an annoying conversation. Like while I’ll agree, there’s no nudity… I would get in trouble. I’ve left some chatroom due to this… People just don’t understand that I don’t care but the folks cutting my checks will make a thing of it
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.
!anime@ani.social mostly posts key visuals and posters, episodes discussions, and news. Stuff you’d see in public.
The actual fanart side of things tends to stick to !anime_art@ani.social and !animepics@reddthat.com
Yes. Problem is that NSFW has lost its original meaning to a lot of people. NSFW was originally to hide things that might be controversial to be visible on your screen in a workplace, so it should be fairly conservative. Beachwear would 100% not be safe to look at in a work environment.
But now a lot of places are using it to determine what is safe to look at not in front of your boss, but in front of your kids or in public. That is a much different thing. NSFW flags should not be used to restrict kids from seeing it, just your boss. There needs to be a separate flag for hiding things from kids. And because social norms are different in different societies, there should be even more granularity in the flags. Nudity is just one thing that is NSFW.
NSFW should be reserved for blocking things that I don’t want to suddenly appear on my screen when I’m browsing the Internet on my break at work when I’m allowed to browse the Internet, but it wouldn’t be good for a naked picture to show up on my screen suddenly.

This whole problem would be solved by adding more tags as per this proposal: https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs/pull/4 and enabling more filtering.
but @dessalines@lemmy.ml and @nutomic@lemmy.ml didn’t look at it for months and I don’t know what is their stance on it. The dev that wanted to implement it doesn’t want to spend energy to push forward for a green light.
There is no need for any “green light”, if there was a problem with the rfc we would have said so from the beginning. From what I can tell the rfc is not completed yet, and when it’s completed someone still needs to step up to implement it. Even my own rfc which was finished months ago is still not merged and not implemented.
What would need to be done to complete it?
Well someone has to write the code.
I know someone that is willing to implement this feature, but they are waiting for merge of rfc to open a Pull Request with initial implementation.
As I understand the RFCs are for defining scope and design requirements for specific feature. And when the design is finalised RFC is merged. Then someone opens a PR to implement it.
If you were imagining some other process it would be beneficial to acknowledge change of development phase from designing to implementing.
P.S. The readme in the repo is supporting my view.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We are currently making some last improvements to the RFC, and it should get merged within the next days.
The RFC is merged now!

I just block the people that post them, and the sub it’s from. I almost never see that shit now.
I do the same but there so fucking many, it seems. Why are people so into the cartoon porn? It’s fucking weird.
Yeah, there seems to be some disconnect with those people. I look at the people’s history before blocking them, and the ones posting that content often have some mental health issues.
Probably resulting from an inability to find healthy love or the feeling of being loved, as most mental health issues seem to stem from.
Love is all we need, and when it’s lacking, shit gets weird.
Why do these anime girls always look like they’re in their teens? Extremely creepy.
I recently discovered Korean manga.
A lot of comics and protagonists are college age or in their 20s, compared to Japan’s 10 yo saving the world.
Look, this whole thing is absurd like a Monty Python sketch, but much less funny.
Is this picture not safe for work…?
How about this one…?
And what about this photograph of an actual naked beaver I posted the other day…?
For me, all three could get me in trouble at work (because they clearly have nothing to do with the work I should be doing), and none of them would get me in trouble at the bus (though there’s plenty of other pictures in Lemmy I wouldn’t want to be caught watching in the bus to avoid embarrassing myself or others), but that’s me, and that’s why I don’t use lemmy at work and if I use it on the bus I use a different account and only on communities I’m subscribed to.
But deciding whether to watch these pictures or risk watching others like them at work or the bus is my responsibility, not lemmy’s, or the community moderators’, or their posters’.
If I’m worried about “not suitable for work” I should be old enough to work, which means I should have a minimum of self control and be responsible for my own actions.
If I’m caught at work or on the bus with an “unsuitable” image on my phone because I was browsing some site that might contain images of that kind I’m not going to blame that site, or whoever posted that image, and I’m not going to demand of them to adapt to my particular circumstances and mark, censor, or remove any content I might find unsuitable.
That’s my job, not theirs. They’re not my fucking nanny, and I shouldn’t need one.
Attempting to shift the blame for my own actions to the people providing me with this content (and for free, no less!) would be childish, petty, and disingenuous, to say the least.
I would go to war for you, Sir.
I 100% would not want an image like that to pop up in front of a coworker. I’m on board with you, OP.
There is no social media that would consider summer clothes NSFW, you are taking it too seriously, it just means “not porn”.
Have you ever been to the beach? Lol you are being a prude. You ain’t forcing anyone to look at your phone. Don’t be an asshole about other people and they shouldn’t be an asshole about you. It’s like in the ten amendments or was it the 27 commandments.
A live feed of people at the beach would also be not safe for work. I’m certainly not offended by it, but it’s inappropriate for the work environment
TIL there are no jobs at the beach.
Edge cases you think are clever to point out are not the majority of job environments.
This entire thread is the epitome of “internet: serious business”
Well yeah. When you’re in the real world, with real people, at real places of employment, it kinda matters.
Don’t have stupid shit visable on your phone at work. It’s a simple thing to do. If you can’t grasp that concept then that’s a you problem.
It’s common sense.
Or just mind your own fuckin business and don’t look at other people things. Unless they are forcing you for example loud music. Oh wait mother fuckers do that on the subway still.
Other people can see what’s on your phone when you’re using it. It doesn’t have a magical screen only you can see.
People are not horses, they don’t wear blinders.
Anime girls aren’t real. You won’t be seeing them at the beach.
You owe me fidy bucks, for your stupid comment.
