Being against a porn star being exploited is too unpopular an opinion for “unpopular opinion” (thelemmy.club)

It's not a "porn" topic, it's a discussion surrounding someone. What does that even mean? If I wanted to talk about my disagreement with the porn industry, how would that be inappropriate or NSFW? 🤔

    Probably as that kind of conversation is not suitable for work. Unless you work in the porn industry.

    If people browse at work, they won't want nsfw topics in their feed. Or if they have kids etc. Just because it's not graphic or imagery doesn't mean it's not something people may want to filter for whatever reason.

    You can have an adult conversation about pornography and adult topics without it being graphic, while it's still unsuitable for work.

    How? My guy, these are words on e-paper, what are you saying? ITS NOT ABOUT PORN, it's about morality or life or dignity or whatever and even if it were, so what? I cannot have a critical view on the porn industry at work? This is like the tamest, least combative or inflammatory convo I'd have at work IRL, I was just yapping about the difference between Western and Islamic supremacy to my boss lady before clocking out, lol. Who's being triggered by gore or fired because titties are on the screen, the original point of all this NSFW censoring? You know how close someone has to be to my phone to make up what words are here? Do you just self censor when there's nothing immoral going on? What exactly makes the conversation, words only, NSFW? Not suitable for work maybe because I'm using the time I'm getting paid to argue with strangers online but that goes for any topic, lol.

    See, this is what happens when you have no clear ideology nor stances but try to have a conversation about it, you get confused and say nonsense.

    People don't just browse in phones. They browse on computers. Colleagues come over to their work area to talk with them and often see what's on the screen.

    I'm not prudish. I'm fine with adult content in the privacy of my own home. It's not suitable at work which should remain professional. I also wouldn't want my kids seeing porn when they are too young to understand.

    You seem to be having an imaginary argument and don't understand what I, or other users are saying so I'll leave it here..

    This is not about being a prude, these are words on paper arguing about ethics or behaviour, being a prude or not has nothing to do with that. And no one is watching porn. You're misunderstanding what happened in OP and what he's complaining about. He posted words about something, not porn, and it was taken down. I saw this at work and I had no issues with it, again, because it was just words.

    On your phone, which is seminprovate. Words discussing porn on a computer screen at work would be.inappropriate. it's the point of the tag. This thread is someone suggesting it should be tagged nsfw and maybe that's why it was removed. I'm inclined to agree, bit that may or may not be the reason.

    I don't understand how, really, it's an intellectual conversation, an exploration of ideas. You could discuss Mein Kampf and it wouldn't be NSFW, right? Unless you're in Germany, idk, where it's not safe to discuss anywhere, lol... Can you explain what makes it inappropriate for the workplace or anywhere, and what that word means to you? What's the point in the NSFW tag, what makes things safe or not safe for work ? All you've said was "these words are NSFW because they're inappropriate". You're going around in circles.
