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.

This whole problem would be solved by adding more tags as per this proposal: https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs/pull/4 and enabling more filtering.

but @[email protected] and @[email protected] didn't look at it for months and I don't know what is their stance on it. The dev that wanted to implement it doesn't want to spend energy to push forward for a green light.

This is a weird thread... Lots of people really give a shit about what others think about the content they consume. There's also a lot of strange presumptions about people who watch anime and how it's creepy when adults watch it. If you were just described above, maybe you should reevaluate some things.

If you would get in trouble for this image on your phone at work, then you really should not be on Lemmy at work. I'm sure there are perfectly acceptable threads for your workspace on Lemmy, but then again, people used to read the articles in playboy magazine. Also, the example image is only sexual if you sexualize it, which you are doing by saying it should be marked nsfw. If the local news stations are comfortable showing gymnasts and swimmers and volleyball players in their respective uniforms, then why should this be any different? Lastly, if that drawing is making you uncomfortable, I don't know how to help you because this is so so so incredibly far from the worst content you can find on this site. Maybe you shouldn't be on here at all if that's the case.

It's only weird if you make it weird and this whole thread is making it weird.

Why do these anime girls always look like they're in their teens? Extremely creepy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Because the target audience is usually teens.

If the NSFW limit was put on "image of a woman wearing shorts and sports bra", would you run to shut down the break room TV when they showed such obscene NSFW things like the Olympic games with their skimpy track and field and beach volleyball outfits? All of those communities would obviously need to be marked NSFW on Lemmy too.

And while NSFW indeed does come from the words "Not safe for work", it isn't "blur everything that wouldn't be appropriate for my coworkers or boss to see me browse during work time".
Getting caught watching episodes of My Little Pony would be pretty inappropriate and embarrassing during working hours as well.

yes. I accounted for xeno's paradoxical thong.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Yes, you could get in trouble at work for viewing it just like you said a picture of a real woman would be

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No. That's just a fully clothed character. Any workplace where that would be considered "NSFW" is the kind of place where getting caught browsing Lemmy at all is NSFW.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 months ago

femboy hooters allows it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Counterpoint I have a workplace where browsing Lemmy would not be NSFW but I don't want to deal with someone being judgemental if they happen to look over my shoulder.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

That's a you problem, not a content problem, though.

Are we obligated to mark SpongeBob SquarePants as NSFW because you're worried co-workers are going to be judgemental if they caught you watching it at work?

No. Worrying about this is like making dogs and cats wear pants.

I wish there was strictly an amine tag so I could filter all that shit out like you can with nsfw. Blocked countless weirdass communities that randomly popup.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

There is a proposal to add Tags but devs aren't really moving it forward. https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs/pull/4

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (2 children)

These are a few ways to get rid of them:
