Hmm. When was the last time you saw a discussion of race hatred or religious bigotry labeled “NSFW”? Those things are also “bad” in American workplaces.

I haven’t seen any labelled NSFW. In fact, I luckily haven’t seen any at all. Though if I were to take a guess: the reason such discussions aren’t marked NSFW is because the people who take part in them don’t care about anyone but themselves and their own opinions. Asking them to be considerate and correctly flair their posts is meaningless as they are seemingly incapable of considering others.

I’m not sure what any of that had to do with what I said before though.

  You seemed to be offering a complicated explanation of why “NSFW” is just fine and my objections to it are dopey.
  
  But it’s not just fine. It doesn’t even do what it supposedly promises to do, namely mark things that someone would get in trouble with their employer for having up on their screen at work.
  
  Because “NSFW” is used to mean “porn, and maybe gore” it doesn’t even succeed at marking things that are not, y’know, safe for work.
  
  And it’s still not a great idea to use “some generic (but probably American) employer’s standards” as part of the core rules for social interaction online.
