Despite what the letters literally stand for or where it’s from, it doesn’t actually mean that (anymore). If it did for most people almost any media would be “NSFW”. Most people would get in trouble for watching a movie or playing video games at work, regardless of content. That’s obviously a useless definition.

Since it was popularized in reddit and other social media the tag defacto means porn/gore. That’s how the vast majority of people uses it and that’s how I think it should be used.

And of course people can complain. But well, sometimes the complain might just fall on deaf ears. And in the case if demanding bikini pictures be tagged as NSFW, I think rightfully so.
