商品描述
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 risqué 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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
對於社交媒體內容被標記為「不適合工作」（NSFW）的原因及方式進行探索，並對將性內容與風險混為一談的觀點提出反對意見。
標籤 #NSFW（不適合工作）同時充當警告和邀請。NSFW告訴用戶：「我們敢你點擊這個連結！順便說一句，工作後再點擊！」與電影和電視的具體警告（如「暗示性對話」、「性內容」）不同，NSFW不具體地標示出從裸體自拍到色情內容的性明示內容。NSFW探討了社交媒體內容為何被標記為「不安全」，並顯示這如何使性內容與風險混淆。作者主張，「不安全」的概念超越了失去工作或在工作中感到尷尬的風險，延伸至與性明示媒體內容和性溝通相關的未具體化風險感。
作者檢視了在各種社交媒體平台上標記和標籤的NSFW實踐；在線色情內容及其對技術的依賴；用戶生成的NSFW內容——特別是陰莖照片及其相關的同意、慾望、主體性和社會權力問題；在工作場所中使用挑逗性幽默；以及作為不平等執行者的性別歧視和厭女主義的在線騷擾。他們反對通過通用標籤來全面抹去性內容，並敦促我們將安全考量從圖像特性轉向上下文和同意問題。
