Maybe if it had a really gorey, graphic image, sure, but 90% of the articles on this site don't have that. Just a little dialogue.

Most fanfics are more NSFW than 90% of this site's content. Conservatives freak out way more about sex. You're thinking of, like, late 90s cable television standards. I'm thinking more of work & school standards. How closely do you think Dilbert's boss is looking at his screen from the entrance to his cubicle?

I'm just saying it's really obvious when it's an image on a page, but unless you're working in a 4-foot-by-4-foot workspace, no one's going to actually read the text on your screen in a workplace. And even if they hypothetically were to really get up close enough to scan it, I think they'd notice sexual terminology a lot sooner than they'd pick up on words like "disembodied" or "maimed" or whatever hot-button phrases there are relating to violence. The only reason I am able to access this wiki at school is because it's a wiki.

Other than that, it would be blocked because of the texts and terminology. And yes, teachers and bosses are going to look at your screens and read the text. Because why the fuck and what the fuck are you reading, instead of working like a good pe- Employee?
