I mean, have you read the bible?
It contains NSFW content, it gets tagged as such.
This is correct and appropriate.
The alternative is having an exemption for religious texts. If the Bible was judged by the standards of secular literature, it would not be made available to children.
People would protest this by claiming 50 shades is their religious text or something
To me this is a feature for Freedom of Religion, not a bug.
No religious text should ever be taught to any child.
To be fair, these children also shouldn't be at work, but I agree with the sentiment.
My god, have you read Genesis? There's some sick shit going on, drugging people to have sex with them... That kind of conversation damn well wouldn't fly at my workplace.
Have you actually read the bible? If anyone takes tagging for sex, crime, and violence seriously, of course they will block the bible. Just because your pastor skips the offending parts does not mean they don't exist. Same applies to the Quran.
tbf they kind of are NSFW
Seems reasonable
While these text obviously depict violence in a plethora of ways, it once again shows how flawed "NSFW" is as a catch all label. As a priest the bible is obviously safe for work. For a sex worker porn and sex toys are safe for work, etc. We as society should learn to use more useful content warnings everywhere.
This is an insult to erotic literature. The Bible has an automatic censor built in. It's boring as fuck to actually read it. No one reads that shit.
Blatant targeting whether you like the Bible or not lololol
Based on what? Religious smut and violence should be treated the same as non-religious smut and violence.
Why aren't the violent games marked NSFW?
What violent games are on f-droid?
Gloomy Dungeons 2
Freedoom
Neither of them has the NSFW anti-feature
Thank you for reaponding with specific claims. Others have already addressed the technicals (the packages themselves don't include NSFW offending material, they are merely engines or interfaces), but I thought I would point out that in American workplaces talking about violence is absolutely commonplace, as it is in the rest of the prevailing culture surrounding us.
It's absolutely common for people to be descriptive about the violence they see in entertainment, or to discuss violent real world matters.
Even if you set aside the critique of violence espoused in the Christian Bible, there is a mountain of adult themes and sexually explicit abuses which our categorically not safe for work in most places.
Doom/quake clones and spin-offs, plenty of war games, Pokemon clones, generic shooters.
The doom 'game' idTech4a++ is actually only a game engine that you have to provide the Doom/wolf/etc game files for if you want to use. Therefore, the engine itself is not NSFW. The pokemon 'game' I see is 'Pokeverse' which is a deckbuilder/trainer app that just accesses an API online to access that data. Not NSFW. I don't see how Pokemon would be NSFW anyway.
Got any actual concrete examples because I'm seeing nothing that would fall in the bounds of NSFW?
Also the original Pokémon games have cartoon violence, while the Bible has graphic violence.
