An exploration of how and why social media content is tagged as
"not safe for work" and an argument against conflating sexual
content with risk. The hashtag #NSFW (not safe for work) acts as
both a warning and an invitation. NSFW tells users, "We dare you to
click on this link! And by the way, don't do it until after work!"
Unlike the specificity of movie and television advisories
("suggestive dialogue," "sexual content"), NSFW signals,
nonspecifically, sexually explicit content that ranges from nude
selfies to pornography. NSFW looks at how and why social media
content is tagged "not safe" and shows how this serves to conflate
sexual content and risk. The authors argue that the notion of
"unsafety" extends beyond the risk of losing one's job or being
embarrassed at work to an unspecified sense of risk attached to
sexually explicit media content and sexual communication in
general. The authors examine NSFW practices of tagging and flagging
on a range of social media platforms; online pornography and its
dependence on technology; user-generated NSFW content-in
particular, the dick pic and associated issues of consent, desire,
agency, and social power; the deployment of risque humor in the
workplace; and sexist and misogynist online harassment that
functions as an enforcer of inequalities. They argue against the
categorical effacement of sexual content by means of an all-purpose
hashtag and urge us to shift considerations of safety from
pictorial properties to issues of context and consent.
