I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.

However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.

Discuss.

Scantily clad? What are you 80? Woman regularly walk about in public wearing little more than I'd what is depicted. I'm sure you think they're all hussies too dontcha? Such a harlot that cartoon woman. You're not winning here. Like I said, the image is only sexual if you sexualize it. You're the one with the problem here.

Women can wear what they like on the beach, but they would absolutely be sent home if they came into my workplace dressed like that, it would be deemed highly inappropriate, and I can't be looking at pictures of all that on my phone in my lunch break, it would similarly be deemed inappropriate.

I don't dress formally at work because of my own preferences for clothing, or because I sexualise people who don't, I do it because my workplace has rules about that.

Memes, yes, midriffs, no. That is all. I don't get why you find a formal work environment like that so incomprehensible.

You’re the one with the problem here.

Yes. One easily and simply solved with the Not Suitable For Work tag. No need to get all cross and condemnatory about it, just use the tag as designed and we all win. We can filter and curate them whenever we like to whatever extent matches our own preferences and situational demands.
