Editing Adult Content

Our content goal is to be safe for children, safe to browse in public. With that intent in mind we will not accept adult content, nor sexual content or any kind of lewd images anymore if they're not edited, censored or cropped. 

H-game and H-anime are still allowed, but cover images and character images will have to be closely monitored and edited from now on. 

=What will to be censored?=
What can be considered sexual imagery and needs to be censored is: 
*nudity
*close-ups of breasts
*buttocks or crotches
*images featuring legs spread open
*sheer or see-through clothing
*sexual body parts that are blurred
*men or women posing and/or undressing in a seductive manner
*bulgy crotches
*erect nipples
*visible areola (sheer clothing) 
*ahegao
*visible lingerie (panties/bra)
*sexual fluids
*visible under/side breast 
*very accentuated cleavage
*child-looking characters in any type of skimpy clothing
*BDSM gear or clothing that suggests BDSM


Blurred and pixelated censoring will not work, the image analyzing AI from search engines can recognize those as lewd images and flag the page. 

 A thought exercise I've been using is: Could you safely show the image to a child and their parents / looking at this picture at work without getting arrested / getting yelled at? The answer obviously should always be '''YES'''.

=How to censor H-game/H-anime characters?=
Since blurred or pixelated images will still be captured and flagged as adult content, the safest way to censor the character's image is to either: 
*crop them up to their shoulders 
*use white bars to censor the sensitive areas.

A good way to check if the character has been successfully censored is by searching their name in a private window with safe search on.
