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?

  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.

    I agree with this. This is the fundamental point of the tag. I don’t want anyone to lose their job, or suffer undue consequences for happening across something particularly graphic, upsetting, or unlawful.

    This is what I don’t agree with. Everything is debatable. I live in the US south, if my coworkers had their way, any image of a drag queen or a pride parade would have to be marked NSFW. And while thankfully this isn’t a problem on Lemmy (yet), that means a sizable portion of the population would be unable to see that content at all without uploading their ID and giving up any semblance of anonymity.
    
    There’s nothing dangerous, illegal, or upsetting about a woman in a bikini. It’s something any person might see in public at literally any time if you live somewhere warm. And yes, I’m sure there are people who would feel harassed if you waved an image like that in their faces, but I cannot imagine a scenario where someone suffers any professional setback because someone saw them scroll past some clothed tits.
