NSFW
The English abbreviation NSFW is used in Japanese to warn that content may contain nudity or violence and is not safe for work.
In casual conversations or online interactions, the informal term エロ can also be used to refer to NSFW content.
Did you know?
- Users sometimes use the term 修正 meaning 'correction' to describe NSFW images that have been censored with mosaics or blurring to comply with local laws.
- The Japanese term for violent NSFW content, グロ (guro), is actually a shortened form of the English word 'grotesque'.
- While 'NSFW' is understood in certain internet subcultures, Japanese users often rely on the term 閲覧注意 (etsuran chuui), which literally translates to 'attention required during viewing'.
