The literal point of “NSFW,” i.e. “Not Safe For Work,” is that things be marked that way that could cause problems if viewed in a workplace. That’s it, and nothing more. I don’t mean to be rude, but what you go on to argue has nothing to do with that.
Because it’s roughly in the same class as extreme gore, even if produced for a very different, educational purpose. I think there are likely plenty of workplaces where having the equivalent of extreme gore visible on your device would be a problem.
I still don’t agree that it should be NSFW. What workplace would have an issue if you had an anatomy textbook on your desk, for example? You see this as being vulgar, at the same level as watching someone get hit by a car, as an example. I fundamentally disagree. This is purely scientific. Even for entertainment, I don’t think we should NSFW art with nudity, for example. That’s absurd. Porn? Sure. Equating all nudity with porn is the same as equating this with extreme gore.

All kinds of places. Imagine being hired to do a certain job, and you have a completely unrelated book of human organs open on your desk or your screen? Imagine if your job is public-facing. There are plenty of scenarios in which that’s either weird or risky, and if you can’t grasp that concept, I don’t know what to tell you.
You see this as being vulgar
No, you’re completely missing the point when you come up with nonsense like that. Indeed, before my disability set in, I wanted to be a heart surgeon as a kid, and would leaf through my dad’s anatomy texts in fascination and build models of various human organs. Point is-- this is in no way about my personal tastes. That’s all in your own head.
Again, and this will be the last time I try to draw such a map for you, the whole point of the NSFW label is to communicate to people in all possible workplaces that certain content might be risky to view in said workplace. That’s all.
This isn’t about certain scenarios you might imagine to yourself in which it would be absurd for anyone to be concerned about such things. There are certainly plenty of those! This isn’t about censorship issues, which you seem to repeatedly confuse the issue for. This is about a friendly, harmless warning tag that lets people know when there MIGHT be a risk for their workplace. Now what people do with that is certainly their business. For example, in settings you can choose how you want such things to display. Either blurring them, omitting them, or taking no action whatsoever. Bam. Problem solved.
Now if you’re just out to waste my time and have no real interest in understanding, then congratulations. Mission accomplished, I guess. Bye.

And this is my point. All possible workplaces means we have to mark everything NSFW. To use the example again, swear words can be seen as bad by some people. Any post with them we should mark NSFW by your logic. No, NSFW is not for all possible workplaces. It’s for the average one. The average one is not going to take umbrage with this.
Because you disagree you think I have no idea. You didn’t engage with my argument. You just assume you’re correct and tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. Based on your logic, why shouldn’t we mark posts with swear words as NSFW?

Nobody that I know of said that it was gore.

Exactly. At no point did I say that it was actual gore. I was making a functional comparison for the purposes of the NSFW context.
Are you really trying to tell me that you don’t understand the point of the NSFW label?

Congratulations upon again, willfully misunderstanding almost everything. Altho, yes, you got PART of your nonsense correct. Congrats?
But mate-- just piss off. You have no idea what you’re BS’ing upon, and never did, obviously.
As I said before-- BYE.
Because you disagree you think I have no idea. You didn’t engage with my argument. You just assume you’re correct and tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. Based on your logic, why shouldn’t we mark posts with swear words as NSFW?
From another person, a NSFW tag would be nice.
It’s great that you work at super progressive workplaces that don’t care about dissected human bodies on your monitor but some people don’t.
