i feel like people have forgotten what “NSFW” actually stands for after all these years
it stands for “not safe for work,” as in “material that could get you fired if your boss sees you looking at it at your place of employment”
tagging things as “nsfw” is not something to be politicized, it is a courtesy to your fellow humans so that they do not get fired or socially ostracized for someone’s whole dick being out on their computer
Reblogging because I recently saw someone saying in their blog description that they didn’t post NSFW, but that they did reblog “tasteful or artistic nudity.”
Like…. No… That’s not how it works…..
Can I add, please don’t use fancy fonts and shit to tag your nsfw posts! It’s nearly impossible to blacklist, and it’s a pain in the ass to have to blacklist multiple versions of nsfw tags. Just use “nsfw” in plain text. No punctuation, emojis, fancy text, etc.
Maybe it doesn’t match your blog’s look or aesthetic, but guess what? Your blog’s aesthetic is not more important than someone’s livelihood.
Even if you don’t think anyone should be browsing Tumblr at work to begin with, there are also those who share a room, say with siblings (older or younger), roommates, etc. or are with their family.
Not everyone wants to explain why there’s a naked woman on their phone/tablet/computer to their parents. Or their grandparents, or siblings. I’ve browsed Tumblr mobile during family dinners and nearly shat myself when someone’s spanked pink arse popped up.
Neither do I want one of my teachers seeing a hairy ballsack on my Tumblr dash if I’m using it outside of class and they pass by.
Just tag your nsfw, guys.
