Remember, NSFW is not an abbreviation for nude that somehow has more syllables. It’s shorthand for “If my boss happened to look over my shoulder when this was on my screen, would there be consequences?”
This is subjective, and depends on the boss and the job, of course. But many, many images that contain zero nudity are still very much NSFW (and sometimes, images with nudity aren’t!) Consider this.
just goes to show how young the population of the internet is nowadays. nearly everyone that was into the internet for real in the early 2000s knew this kinda stuff
I need people to know that sometimes people tag your stuff as ‘NSFW’ not because they think a trans body is inherently sexual or something, but because even tasteful nude is still “My boss is going to ask questions if I don’t close my browser fast enough”
This generation can’t parse “NSFW” as literally “not safe for work” because none of us have ever worked in a job where you were allowed to look at anything on the computer that was not absolutely necessary for your job
For pretty much everyone currently in the workforce… YouTube is NSFW. Facebook is NSFW. The local public transit website is NSFW.
Probably a literal OSHA website on workplace safety is NSFW
(“what are you looking at that for? Next thing you’re gonna be reading about unions”)
