NSFW has typically been used for things that are visually disturbing, like gore and sexually explicit materials. Using it for ideas that aren't safe for work feels like it would devalue the tag.
What about a person injecting themselves? I don't think anyone is necessarily complaining about smoking, but personally I don't exactly want to be seeing pictures of people injecting themselves or others, others especially, without any potential warning.
Insulin?
No thanks, I’m fine
So you also have an issue with people breast feeding in public?
The human body is not something to be ashamed of, the only reason why you think injections are bad is because of war on drugs, people inject themselves or get injections with legal stuff all the time. Vaccines…?
I'm not sure how you got here from there, but that's a pretty weird take.
Many people, perhaps even a majority, are grossed out by needles, in a similar way to blood or other physical injuries. I think warning someone about that is only fair.
NSFW should be used to warn against things that are visually disturbing, not ideas or concepts.
And people don’t have trauma related to drinking?
Do we need to nsfw spiders? What about other phobias…?
What you find non-disturbing other people will. That’s a very ignorant take.
I don't have any trauma related to needles, and I've had plenty of injections and blood tests over the years. I still find needles gross, like I would any other wound, and based on what's happening in the thread, I'd say that's a pretty common belief.
Yes and I’m pointing out that other people have other fears, which you’re ignoring.
Quite the hypocrite eh?
You mentioned people having a fear of dogs previously. Do you think a dog actively biting someone should be NSFW?
Do you not think a dog bite victim might not respond to an image of a dog the same way you respond to needles? You have a very ignorant view here.
Censor it! Most things can be unsafe for work. What if you are a formula one driver?? You should not be breastfeeding while driving a gazillion miles per 860 seconds
I’m sure most race tracks have breast feeding places actually. Lots of workplaces embrace it, sorry. It’s also legal in public… so…
Yes! This is all about being offended by breastfeeding! Everything is about breastfeeding!
No, it’s about the human body, injections and breast feeding are both normal things, but for some strange reason a portion of people get their panties in a bunch when people need to do these natural everyday things.
