My guy. Do I have to explain to how "I was reading about the olympics" is a whole other category than "I was looking at anime girls"? Maybe it shouldn't be, but that's not the world we live in.
Where do you draw the line?
The platform has its own governance.
Personally, I feel like social media at work is inappropriate.
If you're watching the Summer Olympics, and only watch the events where they're scantily clad (and commonly underage), maybe not watch that at work either.
As far as the tag? If it's not showing nipples, isn't sexual in nature, or suggestive, I personally don't see why it should unless you go back and puritanically apply the tag anything anyone could be offended. And at that point - what do we have left?
Look, I can't control what people define as sexual. It is possible to block communities. Tailor it to fit your preferences. Heck why not make a second profile that is specific to when you're not at work? And one that blocks out all but the news and wholesome content for work?
I don't see why this should be a one-fits-all process. We're trying that out right now, with the supreme court. (Assuming that you live in the US)
Honestly I lost track of what the original context was (irony) and was just mad that people are like "no, no, half naked anime girls are totally on the same level as Olympic athletes"
It's up to the community what they want to mark as NSFW. I personally think stuff like the linked image are on the far side of NSFW.
