It’s been put forth that we should have other kinds of censor tags on Lemmy, but NSFW is currently the only one supported. It’s been used here and on other sites for disturbing imagery of murders, spiders for arachnophobes, etc. Even without that, a text tag of [animal abuse] facilitates the use of client-side content filters.

Even so, still not NSFW. Wondering “It’s tagged NSFW but is it actually NSFW?” creates its own issues & nuisances.

They didn’t say it’s NSFW, just that they’d appreciate the blur. Not everyone wants to look at such things randomly.

NSFW means NSFW, though, and not “my personal appreciation filter”.
angrystego@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No, you’re right. It would be just nice to use filters for potentially triggering content.

Animal abuse is both.
Right or wrong on whether this qualifies (I don’t think it does, personally, especially compared to what else happens to lab rats) you’re disagreeing on whether it counts and using dishonest rhetoric to try and reframe the dispute.

Dishonest rhetoric? You’re speaking of yourself by twisting NSFW. Words mean things, not whatever you want them to mean.
An image of a rat in an open piping bag doesn’t ordinarily result in disciplinary action at work.
