    Question is, why are we marking videos NSFW when there’s nothing to it. I’ve seen many.

      I’ve seen so many.

      Because no matter how many NSFW videos you watch, it doesn’t change the video being NSFW.

      You realize you are not the only person in the world, right? And that’s why standards and conventions exist?

        Thanks for the reminder…I nearly forgot that I’m not the only person in existence…pfff…arrogant P*!K!

        It still does not change the fact that this video does not really qualify as a NSFW video…people at Work will watch this and not get in any trouble …at work!

          See that’s where we disagree though, and is the entire point that I’m making. Just because you won’t “get in trouble” doesn’t mean it isn’t NSFW.

        But you didn’t actually see anyone die. You know it from news reports. Also I’m not referring to this video. I just think the NSFW label is overused and abused in terms of click-baiting.

          It is, and it also becomes a weapon for the growing puritan culture.

          But a huge explosion, that’s a plane crash, where 9 people die in an accident is still NSFW. It is not a video of cute cats playing in the sun, it is a video of people fucking dying, even if you can’t easily make out people bits explode in the fireball.

            Perhaps your argument would work…50 years ago? Today with trump and ubiquitous cams…this is everyday news. People getting shot in schools, and doing crazy stuff. It really brings the reality to the fore front on our existence. We are easily extinguish…and all life is precious…so we should all endeavor for peace and coexistence.

              No I get it, things have absolutely changed. Things that 50 years ago would be gross and offensive today is casual or even still professional speak and vice versa. That still doesn’t change the fact that I think it is and should be considered NSFW or have a caution or warning that it contains death.

          Fine, then throw a CW at least.

          You don’t need to dig your heels in on insisting people should watch this death video.
