Comment on NSFW on Lemmy

  In hope they never go outside then.

  Lota of people dress lightly in public, not to mention public art and adverts show quite a lot.

  We have several statues of nude men and women in my city!

  Well since you obviously didn’t open the link, it’s a girl in a fully covered bikini. Literally not softcore anything, it’s as racy as sports illustrated.

    … where do you work that sports illustrated isn’t considered NSFW? Seriously I’d get fired out of a cannon if I was caught browsing it at work, this seems kinda disingenuous.

      It’s legally sold to minors, available in grocery stores, hell I’ve seen them sitting on a rack in doctor’s offices.

      NSFW is the terminology we use for actual explicit material, that’s the point. It’s a shorthand. Getting overly literal about how ‘work’ should be applied to the context is like arguing that all FPS games are actually RPGs because you’re ‘playing the role’ of some character.

        No, NSFW is terminology we use for content that might get you in trouble for browsing at work. Just because you use it differently doesn’t change the definition.

      I’ve seen worst images as people’s office wallpaper/screensaver.

        Okay, but you do understand that most people don’t work in an environment where that would be considered at all acceptable right?

      and finally
      How do i get a job there

        I think you’d probably have to be chopped up pretty fine to fit in the ones at work (which I think we can all agree would be NSFW content…) but you could probably manage it. And man, IDK. The DOT howitzers teams are never hiring, believe me I check regularly.

    Just because there’s no nudity doesn’t mean it’s safe-for-work. This would absolutely make my female colleagues uncomfortable and that falls under the spirit of NSFW. Getting pedantic about what is or isn’t pornographic or nudity to justify having gross pictures up on your screen is entirely beside the point – if there’s any reason it could contribute to a less equitable workplace, it should be labeled NSFW. If there’s any debate about it at all, it’s the considerate thing to do.

      NSFW is cultural shorthand for porn or graphic content. It’s not a literal guideline for what’s acceptable in every single workplace. Should ACAB posts be labeled NSFW because saying that at my workplace in the US south would make a hell of a lot of people uncomfortable?

      And why are you browsing Lemmy at work in full view of passing coworkers? Is it that lax that you can just openly fuck around and your only concern is someone might see a girl in a bikini?

      • techt@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        If the ACAB post is just words, then no. If it’s imagery of people being beaten by cops, then yes. There’s no need to argue extremes to make the point seem ridiculous – just use judgment and be kind.

        It’s about being considerate; that’s where the conversation starts and ends, so don’t get sidetracked or focus on semantics. It does not matter why someone is browsing any website at their place of work, so let’s not even bring that into the conversation. NFSW is meant to help people view content at work/in public by making it avoidable. It’s a communication from the author/community to the audience that the content may or may not be inappropriate – that’s it. If it’s debatable and isn’t tagged, that’s inconsiderate and a request to tag it should be treated with consideration and kindness (barring trolls, which OP clearly isn’t).

        But that’s just my opinion, and I acknowledge yours is different.

    Most employers would be pretty unhappy with you publicly reading the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

      And they would be fine with you publicly browsing Lemmy on the clock?

        Yes, lots of jobs have expected down time.
