Where the NSFW line is drawn varies depending on the moderator and community. If there are communities that are either not moderated actively enough or draw that line too far to one side for your taste, then don't subscribe or block those communities. Those tools exist there for a reason.
I would not consider the post you have linked to as NSFW. I also think that the NSFW tag has evolved over time, so perhaps my definition of NSFW just doesn't line up with what today's standard should be. There are plenty of anime characters in very popular shows that have a character design similar to that. There are big billboards of them some places to promote the show. Just because it might be NSFW in your work environment/region, does not mean it is everywhere.
Yeah. It's not a question of right or wrong, it's a question of whether a moderator (or community) is willing to put into the extra effort to allow folks in sensitive reading environments (or sensitive readers, I suppose) to participate.
I am constantly, personally, under the impression that there are no Anime communities on Lemmy, even though I frequently read "new/all".
I genuinely think there aren't very many. That's true right? I haven't blocked like 700 of them already? I don't give much thought to blocking an unmoderated community, so it could be.
(Sarcasm) Which is tragic for those communities, because my Anime hot takes are on fleek.(/sarcasm)
I think anime has become one of the more active niche interest communities on lemmy. The most active general anime community is [email protected] (shameless plug).
In general, myself and some of the other more active posters have been migrating and encouraging other related communities to be located on the ani.social instance. Part of the reason behind that is that it lets users that just really don't want to see any anime content (see this thread) simply block the instance and move on.
I know all about anime hot takes though. I have previously professed to hating Clannad so much I couldn't watch past the first couple of episodes.
Damn, that sure is a hot take
