For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?

I've always thought, of all the options to warn us that clicking will put titties on our screen, that "not safe for work" was a bad choice.

Like, what if your work doesn't care about titties? What about the tons of other times you wouldn't want those to pop into your screen without warning, like when you're on public transit, or sitting next to grandma?

I'd vote for "LEWD" vs "GORE" or something more clear - users can decide for themselves when it is or isn't safe.

Correct, if you work for e.g. Pornhub, NSFW might have a different meaning

I can just imagine the HR conversations at Pornhub. "Steve, we have reason to believe that you've been viewing non-pornographic material at work."

Reminds me of when new episodes of Rick and Morty were being posted on PornHub and they took them down.

"Steve, your numbers are down. We have reason to believe you have not been viewing enough pornographic material at work."

I can imagine they don't want accountants or IT people looking at porn while they work though. Their own websites are probably not filtered, but whether the work is for a porn site or a car manufacturer, you prefer them focussing on their work. For a content reviewer though, it's a different story.

That being said, there is not enough money in the world that would convince me to become a content reviewer. The shit they have to sit through is often utterly vile and traumatizing. Here is an article about a facebook moderator as an example: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57088382

I was mostly joking, but yeah, being a content reviewer has got to be a soul crushing job. I can't even imagine the shit you would see.

We should be able to look at a little porn at work.
