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.

You know damn well how NSFW is applied on the internet.

Clearly we have a different understanding, how do you apply Not Safe For Work?

I've often seen NSFW used as basically just "contains nudity". You could have a woman in skimpy clothing shaking her everything in a manner clearly trying to evoke sexual thoughts, but because her nipples and genitalia are technically covered, it would get posted as "SFW".

Just because some people don't know how to use NSFW doesn't mean it means something else than "Not suited for work". Anything that a colleague, boss etc could see that would result in awkwardness, "the talk", is NSFW. Same thing for gore.
