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.

And they would be fine with you publicly browsing Lemmy on the clock?

NFSW is meant to help people view content at work/in public by making it avoidable.

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.

If it’s debatable and isn’t tagged, that’s inconsiderate and a request to tag it should be treated with consideration and kindness.

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.

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?

And I think everyone here can agree that any of these subs that are focused on explicit material should absolutely be pressured into setting the sub NSFW.

The part that has people against the OP is that he’s claiming a girl in a relatively modest bikini should be flagged NSFW, and that a sub for non-explicit anime pics should have to adopt the NSFW label, which seems excessive to me.

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.

How is it ‘clearly’ anything? It’s the only example OP provided, what else are we supposed to judge his claims by?

Well since you obviously didn’t open the link, it’s a girl in a fully covered bikini. Literally not softcore anything, it’s as racy as sports illustrated.

Read my comment again. “Dual booting is so easy now…”

Yeah I covered that issue pretty directly.

Did you know there’s Linux software that doesn’t run on windows too?

There’s always something, and it’s an easy excuse. How many people using that excuse actually have one of those few missing pieces blocking them?

And frankly, it’s so easy to dual boot at this point. I do get it, I have to hang on to windows to use fusion360, at least for certain projects.

I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste my time and patience on windows for anything I can avoid though.

The steam deck is pretty much just a PC with a built in gamepad. You can put windows or any OS you want on it.

If those people are inaccurately spouting ‘facts’ from some article they can barely remember, yeah that’s pretty much exactly the same output.

I’ve made and shared plenty of 3d models for the 3D printing community. People can certainly make it a job, and that’s perfectly reasonable. But, I will never be interested in a community of for-profit model makers. If their goal is to make money off me, it’s not a community, I’m just a customer. The point of the community is to learn and share information, to help people and be helped in return. If that time is ‘work’ for you, don’t do it. Or make content and sell it on YouTube, do what you want, I’m just not interested in it.

People also shouldn’t just be able to make money off of other people’s creations without limits.

IMO, ideally we would implement a system of ‘open licensing’ where people could freely use others IP as long as they pay a public, standardized percent of revenue based on the usage.

“Fan”

That’s the part that precludes payment. Fan works legally have to be free, that’s what makes it not copyright infringement.
