I'm asking this as a moderator of the community, given that some people - yes, even legally adults - might be uncomfortable with this topic, even if they would otherwise enjoy linguistic humour, and even if I don't mind it myself. The NSFW tag is appropriate.

You're right and it's even more than that. NSFW literally stands for "Not Safe For Work", because many people work at jobs where it's bad for them to be viewing material that isn't appropriate for the workplace, but they still rightfully want to be able to have some internet fun while they're there - which is EXACTLY the reason why the nsfw tag was invented. That way everyone can be happy. Except for the other commenter in this thread who is a douche and won't be happy no matter what happens until they grow up

You're at work and you decide "to have some internet fun" hopefully during a break and you're reading a false article on a linguistic humor community. False text has some sexual terms in it.

… and a coworker is reading what's on your screen ?

What's your setup for this being nsfw?

how?

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, exactly as you described. Do you not believe that at some workplaces you can get in trouble for displaying sexual words in a publicly viewable space? Because I'd say that that's how it is in most corporate workplaces

I'm offended and uncomfortable that they are offended by language and topics I would please ask they mark themselves with the appropriate R€t@R|) tag.

You are not in a position to decide the others' sensibilities.
Usage of slurs is not even remotely acceptable here. Not even if you write them L1K3 TH15.

Due to #2 I'm giving you a 3d ban. Make sure to read the rules of both the instance and this community, if you ever consider coming back.

EDIT: ban elevated to a permaban after PM harassment. Goodbye.

Thank you. Some people want to make everyone as miserable as they are

Words of praise to mod.

if you are this fragile maybe don't scroll the web? Just a thought

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The irony, considering this is satire of the original complaint.

[–] jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

The original comulaint is a reasonable request to mark something containing sexual content as nsfw. The comment I replied to was someone getting irrationally irritated about something that seems to me like normal internet etiquette. I see no irony, nor satire.
