I didn't downvote but the page is perfectly SFW. There's skin on display but no more than in, say, a one-piece swimsuit ad (on average- there's four or five pictures).

There's no inappropriate body parts on display. I'd feel safe to show this to my boss, though my boss's mother would probably disaprove.

Really? I wouldn't dream of showing that page to my boss or coworkers.

Honestly, doing so could plausibly and understandably make many women and some men uncomfortable.

I agree these may be uncomfortable for some. But they're definitely SFW.

I'm ok with some things being uncomfortable. We got past the idea that women can wear trousers to work. We can get past this as well. Some progress can be uncomfortable.

It’s almost as if... there isn’t a single universal definition of NSFW and different workplaces have different expectations! I know—-crazy, right?
Could you put up a calendar of similar pictures at your work desk? If not, like most of us then it's not SFW.
Poor analogy. A calendar is obviously your choice of decoration that your colleagues will see every day. The calendar's content is on you.

Visiting a Twitter page for a few seconds in your browser and the background happens to show the woman in a bikini, is absolutely not the same as your choice of calendar. There is no nudity anyway, it's 100% legal and we see similar images in the street, shop windows, billboards, TV, everywhere.
