Tldr lower. So thereās (yet again) another flurry of communities that are all crossposting each otherās content with this hentai stuff.
Aside from a lot of this being made with AI, it is in essence soft porn and I donāt want it in /all.
I usually write a comment under such posts saying
Set your comm to NSFW pls
Rarely the mod write āDoneā and thatās it. Often it is downvoted, and now itās also just removed by mod for (I wouldnāt know the reason as itās on a different instance to mine)

TLDR; I donāt want my all feed to be a soft porn feed, is there anyway of not having these hentai soft porn communities in all, apart from individually blocking them (which doesnāt really work, as they keep making more communities).
Itās not much different from western cultures, though india does have a problem with sexism in (and outside of) the workplace. But are you really arguing demographic semantics to avoid the point at hand?
As I said, I regularly seen bikini picture and the like on office computers, so yes, I think itās acceptable in āwestern cultureā. Maybe not in some of the more puritan countries or large corporations, but in general, yes.
Also the term NSFW isnāt defined by what is literally allowed at workplaces, so the entire argument is pointless. Itās a tag for porn and gore. Bikini pictures arenāt porn.
Itāsā¦ literally āNot Safe For Workā. Thereās no formal definition, let alone one beyond ānot safe to have at workā. It was a usenet appelation applied to content you donāt want your boss seeing you browsing, itās never evern been explicitly about porn? Itās not exactly hardline censorship to want tagging guidlines to be followed. At the moment, /all is the best way to find new communities to subscribe to. Itās not unreasonable to ask people not to complain about the content they find there, but since this is the one single content filter common to lemmy, itās also not unreasonable to ask people to use it?
Despite what the letters literally stand for or where itās from, it doesnāt actually mean that (anymore). If it did for most people almost any media would be āNSFWā. Most people would get in trouble for watching a movie or playing video games at work, regardless of content. Thatās obviously a useless definition.
Since it was popularized on reddit and other social media the tag now defacto means porn/gore. Thatās how the vast majority of people uses it and thatās how I think it should be used.
And of course people can complain. But well, sometimes the complain might just fall on deaf ears. And in the case if demanding bikini pictures be tagged as NSFW, I think rightfully so.
But itās never stopped meaning that, though? Itās still extremely commonly used to tag that sort of content, and I donāt know why youāre starting to insist that words donāt mean the things they say.
The situations in which youāre watching any alternative media in a workplace setting are potentially fraught with reprimand, though. āYouāre there on work time being on your phone is literally theftā and all that hyperbolic corpo BS. But during times you can be on your phone, itās still broadly less acceptable to be watching āhaurhi jiggles up and down [nightcore] [bigtits]ā videos than it would be watching generic videogame content.
The literal meaning of the phrase is useless, since what is safe at a workplace varies drastically with the workplace. Itās also relevant in a lot of other settings that arenāt work, like browsing your phone on public transport or at school. Itās also very common for phrases to have a different meaning from the literal meaning of the individual words. Iād say thatās even the case for most phrases. When you say itās raining cats and dogs there arenāt actually cats and dogs falling from the sky. In this case the actual āworkā aspect isnāt relevant.
What the tag does signify is that the following content might be disturbing or inappropriate in certain situations so you can be aware before opening it. And bikini pictures donāt warrant that warning, even if some workplaces have a policy against it.
Dude, maybe take a few steps away from the computer for a little while.
ā¦ What?
Never mind China and India ā thereās much more cultural diversity in the world than youād have us imagine even within any one āwesternā country.
Mmk. So?
