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 would hardly raise an eyebrow. Again, it’s a belly button.

    The point is that if you are seeking consensus on this around the most conservative interpretation of the concept, you will likely not find it. You are responsible for curating your own internet experience.

      Work culture, especially in the US, is very conservative. The fact that you don’t understand that it’s better to be more conservative here regardless of consensus is astounding. Understand that the NSFW flag is a curation tool. You seem to think it’s a form of censorship. It’s purpose is to deal with the ten per cent on the far end of the spectrum who would take offence. And if your retort is that the majority shouldn’t have to accommodate the minority, that’s just a terminally online opinion that fails to recognise the fragility of real human interaction. It’s analogous to saying that bridge engineers shouldn’t have to accommodate the heaviest ten per cent of vehicles when figuring out what its maximum load should be when accomodating “most” vehicles is enough and that those vehicles should either lighten their load or find an alternate route.

      I’m not going to argue with you over this because I don’t believe you have the foundational understanding of why things are what they are.

        I work in the US. This is a belly button. Yes I am quite skeptical that a picture of an anime character would course any fuss just about anywhere.

        You also don’t have to show your phone to your coworkers. What’s astounding is that you apparently cannot conduct yourself in public.
