I work for myself and own all of my own equipment, so believe me, I am more than happy to load anything legal at work without triggering a filter or getting a visit from a boss. Sadly not everyone has this privilege.

Everyone has the option of not browsing HN at work.

True, but nsfw isn't just about work, but also about people with more conservative sensibilities.

You could call your project bacon soaked in milk but it might needlessly deter Muslims and Jews.

If we cater to everyone, nothing will be allowed.

If we cater to a specific set of people, it will be a discrimination against all others.

I think the most tolerant solution is to let people control their own bubbles of what they want to see.

Double plus this. Peoples assumed right to "browse from work", is the new "think of the children"; or "can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it".
