Comment on NSFW on Lemmy
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 7 months ago… 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.
And nobody is going to get in trouble for scrolling past a woman with a bikini on at work. If your workplace is that strict, you’re going to be in more trouble for scrolling social media on the clock.
More graphic content is visible in ads on any major website. The idea that a clothed woman should be censored as if it’s vulgar is excessive in my opinion. Where do we draw the line? Shoulders? Knees? Ankles? I had assumed as a society we had decided it was the actual genitals, but apparently not.
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?
I’m not sure. Most people are in China and India and I know little about their office culture.
It’s not much different from western cultures, though india does have a problem with sexism in (and outside of) the workplace. But are you really arguing demographic semantics to avoid the point at hand?

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.
