Hacker News, unlike reddit does not have a NSFW warning for submissions.

Additionally, I would say it's reasonable to assume that something that says it is an "offensive tweet quiz" is a quiz that shows offensive tweets, and that therefore any offensive tweet is by definition not suitable for work.

One could argue and say that Twitter should identify and filter out some types of offensive tweets so that, for example, porn is not shown - but that would be explicitly addressing the subject of the submission rather cleverly.

Twitter does in fact have a separate adult content filter, which I have turned off in my Twitter account, in part because it's often wrong :) It filters out a lot of SFW content, and a lot of queer accounts are tagged as such incorrectly.

Proves the submission's point, I guess.
