Should half naked pictures of anime characters be marked NSFW on Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.

However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.

Discuss.

Maybe companies limit their options by establishing and maintaining a norm of office behaviour.

Maybe. I don’t think those norms are enforced from above or anything. It’s one of those “read the room” type things. And that’s all I’m saying. Someone who would have a scantily clad anime poster in their cubicle at the engineering company I work at has failed to read the room. And thus I question their social understanding.

I also feel like it’s the sort of thing that makes a workplace less comfortable for some people. Like, I can imagine a woman working in the very male-heavy software and engineering departments who could find such posters off-putting. Just like it would be tacky to put up posters of a supermodel in a bikini on a muscle car.

Let’s maybe just not objectify people at work, you know?
