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?

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
